Stay in Carbost
Accommodation in Carbost,
Isle of Skye
If you are looking for accommodation in Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Wolfie Lodge is the self-catering lodge on the shores of Loch Harport: three bedrooms, space for seven guests, a log burner and loch views, from £300 per night. Talisker Distillery is a short walk away, and the Fairy Pools are 15 minutes' drive.
What kind of accommodation is there in Carbost?
Carbost is a small village, so the choice is limited and worth understanding before you book. There are three realistic options.
A self-catering lodge
The village has a small number of self-catering houses, which suit families and groups who want space, a kitchen and their own timetable. Wolfie Lodge is one of them: three bedrooms, room for seven, a log burner and loch views over Loch Harport.
Rooms at the village inn
The Old Inn serves food and hosts traditional music at weekends, and is the social heart of the village. Staying there suits couples and shorter trips where eating out every night is part of the plan.
Cottages on the Minginish peninsula
Scattered along the single-track roads around Carbost and Minginish are individual cottages. They offer quiet and dark skies, but you will want a car, as the nearest supermarket is in Broadford or Portree.
What is within reach of Carbost?
Approximate one-way driving times from the village. They are planning estimates rather than live traffic predictions: single-track roads, summer traffic and weather can all add time.

Accommodation in Carbost: questions and answers
What accommodation is available in Carbost, Isle of Skye?
Carbost has a small number of self-catering houses, rooms at the village inn, and individual cottages on the surrounding Minginish peninsula. Wolfie Lodge is the self-catering lodge on the shores of Loch Harport: it sleeps up to 7 across 3 bedrooms, with a log burner and loch views, from £300 per night.
Is self-catering or a B&B better in Carbost?
Carbost has few places to eat in the evening, so self-catering gives you flexibility: the village has a community shop for basics, and the Old Inn, the Oyster Shed, Café Cùil and The Three Chimneys at Talisker cover the nights you want to eat out. It also makes the evenings part of the trip rather than just somewhere to sleep: cosy nights in by the log burner, a slow dinner you have cooked yourself, board games and cards from the games shelf, a book on the sofa while the weather closes in outside. A B&B or inn room suits a shorter stay where you would rather not cook at all and would rather be out every night.
How far is Carbost from the Fairy Pools and Portree?
From Carbost, the Fairy Pools are about 15 minutes' drive and Portree around 30 minutes. The Old Man of Storr is roughly 50 minutes and Neist Point about an hour, and Talisker Distillery is within walking distance of the village. All times are planning estimates, as Skye's roads are narrow and slow in summer.
How much does it cost to stay in Carbost?
Stays at Wolfie Lodge start at £300 per night for the whole lodge rather than per person, with a two-night minimum and longer minimums over peak and festive periods. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by 10am, and the live rate for your dates is on the availability calendar.
Can I bring a dog, and is there parking?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Wolfie Lodge by arrangement, and there is private off-road parking for guests. The lodge also has WiFi and a fully equipped kitchen.
