"Good sized pay and display car park which accepts card."
"There was ample parking."
"The car park was very neatly arranged with plenty of space. The toilet facilities were excellent."
"There are toilets available at the car park and they're clean."
"Plenty of paid parking next to the start of the trail to the fairy pools."
"There is plenty of parking (including handicapped) and the gentleman parking attendant is very nice and helpful!! Also, very nice, clean bathrooms."
"The car park nearby is pretty huge and well organized (including sanitary)."
Cons:
"Huge work has been done to update the car park and path in which has left a grey scar across the landscape."
"The walk back to the car park takes much longer. About 40-50 minutes because the hill down to the bottom of the fairy pools is very, very steep."
"I don't recommend this hike to people that are disabled in their walking or people in no good health. This place is not good for wheelchair users."
"Very few spots left for parking. Hike is quite long and the path isn't the best."
"The 'steps' from the lower level of the carpark were really dangerous and I did fall going up them."
"It’s claimed this is an easy to moderate walk, it’s far from, it’s a steep climb down from the car park and obviously back up."
"The walk up is lovely but not suitable for buggies or wheelchair users, very uneven and stony with little burns to step over."
Natural Beauty
Pros:
"The pools are beautiful and it is a good walk up to the top."
"We were here in winter, or rather when there was fresh snow, and even then they are a great sight."
"Upon arriving at the Fairy Pools, I was instantly mesmerized by the pristine blue waters shimmering under the gentle rays of the sun."
"The pools weren't as turquoisey as they are in some of the edited photos online but they are lovely to take a dip in."
"Wild and unspoilt like much of Scotland - well worth a visit."
"The surrounding landscape is definitely worth seeing and makes it worth your while."
"The mountains and scenery all around were absolutely stunning despite the rainy clouds, if anything, it was there for effect. Like straight out of a movie."
Cons:
"The worst ‘top attraction’ in Isle of Skye."
"Also please don’t expect to see the images you see online they have been photoshopped/disneyfied."
"Not quite sure what the fuss is about - nice enough, but Scotland is littered with pretty and dramatic waterfalls elsewhere."
"We expected beautiful little puddles en waterfalls of crystal clear water, but in fact it was just a little river flowing down from the mountain with indeed crystal clear water."
"Beautiful place, but the amount of tourists ruined it for me a bit."
"Sure the scenery was nice but there were people and dogs swimming in the pools."
"Don't go there if you already were in the the Alps! Its an ordinary Mountain stream and isn't worth it."
Facilities
Pros:
"A car park right near it with toilets. £6 all day, which goes towards maintaining it."
"The car park is £5 for all day and all the money goes back into the area such as running the toilet facilities and the local trails."
"At the top of the lot there are bathroom facilities."
"The car park was £5 by marshall, £6.50 by machine but it’s safe all day parking and clean toilets on site!"
"There is a toilet block on site too at the carpark."
"It is definitely worth paying to go in the car park, there are toilets there and they were lovely and clean."
"The staff at the car park are nothing short of fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and catered to everyone."
Cons:
"Only parking is quite pricy. It only has fixed price which is not suitable for people who come only for few hours."
"The car park is extremely expensive considering that this is a 1h walk at best."
"However, do note that unlike other areas that can be visited in Skye, this is one place that charges for parking."
"Parking was £6, which is not too bad."
"Car park costs £5."
"The car park costs £6 which you can pay using card."
"It is free to visit, however there is a parking fee £6 for all day (pay and display) and no overnight stay."
Experience
Pros:
"The hike is suitable for all levels of walkers."
"Fantastic walk even on a gloomy day, glad there are bridges now."
"The pools were stunning and you appreciate how natural they are."
"For photography enthusiasts, the Fairy Pools offer an abundance of Instagram-worthy shots."
"The Fairy Pools in Scotland are a natural wonder that effortlessly transports visitors to a realm of enchantment and beauty."
"The trail is beautiful and the view is truly breathtaking."
"The Fairy Pools are a series of cascading waterfalls set within a bowl-shaped glen."
Cons:
"The road in gets packed, and there are tons of visitors, but once you get past that, the series of meandering waterfalls looks like a very long walk, but it goes quickly."
"The place is just packed with visitors."
"The walk across the open and very windy valley can take you to total immersion in the Highlands experience, but the walk is long and a crowded one."
"It's some walk to see the many pools, probably the best are at the top of the walk, busy place though, great amazing views, great photo shoots."
"The walk is in a beautiful valley, but i was unpleasantly surprised by the big gravel path that was added: very unexpected in the middle of nature, and quite ‘intrusive’."
"By far the busiest attraction I've been to on both my visits to the isle of skye, but still absolutely a must-do."
"It's a touristic place, so there's a lot of people."
