Winner of Most Hospitable Hotel, Thistle Awards 2017 

Claire and Godfrey, Lord Macdonald, for many years ran Kinloch and now it is in the expert hands of their daughter Isabella. With stunning grounds and graceful rooms, you will have a wonderful experience… and the bedrooms are gorgeous too.

This time we visited in the afternoon and sampled their inviting Bar Menu whilst others in the dining room ate a leisurely lunch and ladies in the drawing room enjoyed afternoon tea! My warm roast beef sandwich and Bosse’s crème caramel dessert were both really delicious. Whilst Kinloch’s dinners are exceptional, it is also valuable to have places for tourists to go for fine food at other times of the day.

Lady Claire Macdonald has done wonders for Skye – indeed for all of Scotland. Kinloch Lodge’s renowned hospitality provides an ideal escape from our hectic lifestyles. ‘Charming, cosy and discreetly luxurious’ as they say, and it could not be more accurate. Members of the prestigious Scotch Beef Club.
