I know that the Skye Rooms Facebook group (in operation since 2015) has often been recommended as a way of finding last minute accommodation on the Isle of Skye. I just wanted to let you know that the admins of the group have decided to close it, having found it difficult to moderate and “police” following the introduction of the Short Term Let Licence requirement. There have apparently also been recent incidents of tourists thinking they had secured accommodation and parting with deposits only to discover the accommodation didn’t exist. There were more than 20k members of the group and for most people it operated really well, so it’s a shame to see it disappear.
I see that a new Facebook group has already been set up, but it has very few members at present and I couldn’t currently recommend that route for anyone seeking last minute accommodation on Skye.
