Kinloch Lodge

This romantic, yet family-friendly, 16th-century hunting lodge, a former hideaway of the MacDonald Clan, is an ideal base for exploring the incomparable Isle of Skye. It’s just 10 miles from the Skye Bridge, and 30 miles from the island’s colourful capital, Portree.

This luxury home-from-home has individually-styled rooms, all with king-sized beds. Décor is contemporary cosy, mixed with enough historical memorabilia to retain a welcoming sense of character and heritage.

The excellent in-house restaurant, serving up locally-sourced and home-grown produce, is renowned in the region and, like the Three Chimneys, a pilgrimage for foodies.

The hotel offers fishing, walking, clay pigeon shooting and even foraging in the stunning, tranquil surrounds. Kids are welcome to join in where appropriate. And when you come home, after a day of outdoor activities, soothing spa treatments await.
