Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
A scenic, single-track road in a remote part of the island leads to Clare Winskill and Iain Roden’s romantic restaurant-with-rooms, where guests are welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine. The original Skye ‘black house’ has quaintly low ceilings, a stone-walled snug and a conservatory dining room with views towards mountains and the islands of Rum and Eigg. Modern-rustic bedrooms and suites are upstairs and in the house next door. A four-course set menu of flavoursome, island ingredient-led cooking is served at 7 pm. Dishes might include lobster bisque or venison fillet, and ice creams made with herbs and fruit. After a fortifying breakfast, set off on a walk or take a dip in a wild swimming cove nearby.
