When is the best time to go to Carbost?

The best time to visit Carbost really depends on what you're hoping to experience, but generally, the late spring and summer months from May to September offer the most favourable conditions. For those looking to enjoy the outdoors, particularly hiking and exploring the stunning landscapes around Carbost and the wider Isle of Skye, June, July, and August are ideal. You'll benefit from longer daylight hours, with the added bonus of the famous "light nights" where it barely gets dark. The weather is typically milder, making activities like walking in the Cuillin mountains or visiting the Fairy Pools more pleasant. If you prefer to avoid the peak season crowds while still enjoying reasonable weather, May and September are excellent choices. The landscape is still beautiful, and there's a good chance of sunshine, but you'll find fewer visitors at popular spots. This is a great time for couples or solo travellers who appreciate a more relaxed pace and perhaps better availability for accommodations and tours. For whisky enthusiasts, visiting in the autumn or even winter can be a great experience. While the weather will be colder and wetter, a visit to the Talisker Distillery is an indoor activity, and the dramatic, moody skies can add to the atmosphere of the island.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Carbost hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Carbost hotel?

"I had an amazing stay at Hame Hotel on the Isle of Skye. All the staff were incredibly welcoming and well organized, making our stay very easy. The location is stunning and very central for exploring the island. The room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable. They have a great common area with an honesty bar that is well stocked. The food was a highlight - we had all of our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel, and every meal was delicious with a great view of the mountains! I will most...

Uig Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, lovely location, friendly attentive staff, spotlessly clean, great rooms and excellent food. Highly recommend."

Bracken Hide Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful and wonderfully unique stay at the Bracken Hide and I highly recommend it as an alternative to staying in Portree which we found cramped and a bit difficult to drive around. The hotel “rooms” are really like mini Quonset huts / small living is what my partner exclaimed when we got into our “yurt” as he liked to call our accommodation. It is not a yurt to be clear. Comfy bed, well places chargers, a place for our dirty hiking boots, wardrobes for each of us to store our items, a tiny bathroom (not for larger sized folks for sure!) - fluffy towels. The views from the Bracken Hide are fantastic and we had an excellent dinner at Am Braigh the onsite restaurant - I had a scallop appetizer, a delicious filet of pollock with fresh clams and mussels. Three scoops of ice cream for dessert yum! For our second night we picked up two wonderful wood fire pizzas from Pizza in the Skye which is just down the road (and not in downtown portree). We did not take advantage of the plunge pool and sauna as we did not have room for swimsuits in our luggage but saw many people enjoying this amenity. I did buy an Isle of Skye candle from the lobby and my husband enjoyed a flight of highland whiskey - all without having to go in town and save our time for hiking Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing. I highly recommend the Bracken Hide Hotel!"

The Bosville

10/10 Excellent

Parking out front of the hotel was easy to access but did get busy at times, I was able to find parking down the street. Overall really lovely hotel worth the hefty pricetag given its location - would definitely return again if I visit Portree. Only downside was that there was no lift, but luckily we packed light."
