ESCAPE To THE Isle of skye FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURES AND CULINARY EXCELLENCE
Enjoy a culinary getaway at the inviting Kinloch Lodge on the Isle of Skye
Set on the shores of Loch na dal on the Isle of Skye, Kinloch Lodge has stood proud since the 17th century. First built as a farmhouse, Kinloch was later developed into a grand hunting lodge for the Macdonald clan in the 18th century. Steeped in more than 400 years of history and with touches of tartan and tweed throughout, the lodge feels cosy yet full of grandeur.
make yourself AT Home the Macdonalds continue to run the lodge, and have made the atmosphere instantly inviting. Guests are encouraged to unwind in the drawing rooms, where they can sit surrounded by heirlooms. Service is offered with warmth and attention to detail that is characteristic of the friendly ambience the hotel has worked so hard to create. Whether whiling away an evening in front of one of the log fires, or sampling limited editions at the dedicated Whisky bar, this is a retreat where you can truly kick back and relax.

Once back in the warmth of the lodge, there’s an indulgent selection of wellbeing treatments with which to unwind, before retiring to one of the cosy bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep.
