The Old Post Office, Bernisdale
The Old Post office is in the quiet village of Bernisdale about 5 miles out of Portree. A rural location ideal for peace and tranquility. It has been lovingly converted and restored by it's owner to become a delightful cosy holiday cottage. 1 double, and a shower room. A lovely wood burning stove in the main living area brings warmth to the whole house and is wonderful to put on after a days hiking or sightseeing. In a quiet and delightful location with views to the Cullin and across Loch Snizort. There is garden to the front and rear.

Lots of charm at the Old Post Office
Great place overall with a few quirks. Location was perfect!!
Great location for seeing the highlights of Skye. Cosy little cottage, probably snug if 4 adults staying but was perfect for us as a 3. Loved the log burner

Amazing place
The Bernisdale Old Post Office was an absolutely lovely, charming and comfortable place to stay for a visit to Isle of Skye. The property is well-cared for and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. It was clean and well-equipped and the communication before and during the stay was excellent. Hope we will have the chance to come back some time!

This place was everything that engulfs Scotland. The layout was perfect for us, as 2 couples. It’s was so comfortable, the little stove was so cute and cozy. The drying rack was just awesome as well. Perfectly located for our travels around Skye. Instructions were well received once we got into the house…
The only hiccup we had was lack of communication for the arrival. We had to wait and make a few phone calls from other sites to get a hold of the management team. But once I got someone, they were so helpful and informative and explained what happened. Our stay was amazing! Thank you

Tout était parfait! La maison a beaucoup de charme, la literie est confortable, le linge de lit très agréable, tout est réuni pour passer un très bon séjour et découvrir l’île de Skye. Il est même possible de faire un feu lorsque les soirées sont un peu fraîches. Le seul problème: c’était trop court 😉

Absolutely fabulous accomodation
Can’t recommend this cottage highly enough ! So much care had been taken to present the cottage in perfect condition. This is the best Airbnb that we have ever stayed in and it’s great value. Thank you so much for providing such a lovely stay.

Cozy, unique place to stay while exploring Skye
We loved our stay at the Old Post Office. It is just as quaint as pictured with lovely decor and clever ways to make the most of the limited space in a small cottage. The kitchen is well supplied, as is the bathroom. There is a tablet with information about the area as well as video clips demonstrating how to use the appliances. (helpful for international travelers). The bottle of wine was a nice tough, too ! It is in an peaceful place with a field across the road about 10 minutes drive from Portree and good spot to explore northern Skye.

House
It took two days to get the house to a comfortable temperature. It needs to be heated before guests arrival. No dryer as offered by Expedia

excellent holiday house
The cozy house is located in a quiet location, easily accessible from A850. Cozy and clean. There is a bird feeder in the front garden, and my daughter had enjoyed feeding birds.

Perfect Cosy Cottage
We only stayed in the Old Post Office for three nights and we wish we'd booked for longer. This is a perfect small cottage in a central location, easy to get to both Portree and Edinbane. Facilities were really good... the only thing missing were egg cups! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
