Considering the reputation and high standards of this hotel, it is amazing how at home you feel right away. We were welcomed after our long 5 hour drive from Glasgow with a glass of fizz by the open log fire. It was just the refreshment we needed and totally set us up for what the rest of the weekend would be like. All of the staff were so friendly and keen to make us feel welcome. The majority of other guests were over a certain age and clearly were made of big bucks. However the staff never treated us any different which was so refreshing as often a couple of young twenty somethings can be highly judged in these kinds of places. Breakfast was an absolute treat. Essentially a three courser...
Kinloch Lodge is only a 20 minute drive from Skye Bridge, situated on the edge of Loch Na Dal and surrounded by the most picturesque landscapes. We were staying in a spacious double room with panoramic views over the scenic loch it was stunning. On the first night, we enjoyed a 5 course dinner in the main dining room, which provided a romantic atmosphere, with candlelit tables and charming decor. The chef's table on the second evening (booked in advance) was more minimalistic, but this wasn't an issue for us, as the true magic was right in front of us! Getting to watch the masters at work and plating such perfect dishes to such a high standard, helped to create an extra special and immersive...
Wow what an experience. Felt like we traveled back in time. A bit of a rough and long driveway to get there. We were immediately welcomed and our coats hung upon entering. Shown a mini tour of the lodge and brought to the big room . The dining room with about 8 tables. Neatly decorated with gold framed paintings of the lineage of the hotel. We were gifted some complementary fizz for our anniversary which was so special. Spectacular service, my husband was interested in some whisky and the hostess/whisky expert/amazing woman came to ask what he likes and recommend something. He loved what he got, a local whisky made down the road. We had the special of the day: Pie and Pud. Mine was cheese an...
It's a honeymoon destination vs a multigenerational family destination. Views are breathtaking and it was quiet but I wouldn't come back as a multigenerational family (note our kids are tween). Overall the property was clean and well maintained. Rooms: the curtains were useless in blocking the light from the flood lights they used to light up the exterior of the building. Yes eventually they turn them off but those first few hours were miserable. Tried to enjoy the big huge bathtub but could never get the water warm enough to be anything but freezing cold. Shower did heat up eventually but it's the type of shower where you end up getting wet to turn it on. Meals: $80 person meals were includ...

Absolutely wonderful experience. From the waiting area to the dining room, service was meticulous and friendly. The area is also beautiful, overlooking the water, this white-faced hotel sits regally, filled with history and charming furnishings. Just hanging out in the waiting room drinking whiskey and beer was an experience in itself. We ended up coming for lunch and grabbed a pre fixe four course meal. Totally impressed. Butternut squash soup was an interesting frothy texture with a subtle sweetness. Scallop appetizer was well-prepared, although I wasn't the biggest fan of their crab cake, which reminded me of eating something artificial, some kind of gelatin goop. I got the Angus beef as...
Upscale, pricey hotel with upscale food and restaurant. This hotel is not for the faint at heart (price) or for rambunctious children. Some things are really good, some not. Likes: ' Heated bathroom floors ' Beautiful views ' Wonderful food ' Friendly staff Dislikes: ' Thin room walls (can hear lots of noise from other rooms). ' It takes them a long time of running the faucets to get hot or even warm water ' Narrow single beds ' The high beam spot lights pointed at our windows (to light the outside of the building) ' The cozy (small) tables in the dining room. The bathrooms are spacious, modern and very well appointed. The rooms are modern. You come here for the location, view and food. But...
Wonderful setting, just don't give up driving down the lane! And on the spur of the moment, we decided to try our luck. It was early so we snagged a table for two without reservations. So civilized. Seated first in the drawing room. Great ambience. The dining room is filled with portraits of ancestors, if you are into that sort of thing. Yes, I am, give me a kilt! Good attentive service and if they don't know the ingredients they find out. The soup was special. The filet mignon was so tender and tasty. It's easy to understand why they are one of the best in Scotland At the end, we sat in the drawing room again and had a lovely conversation with another couple. Nicely paced; no rush. Sorry th...
Amazing food experience in a beautiful lodge. The views are very pretty. You need minimum 2:30 hours. They have a couple of rooms perfect for a drink or tea nice decorated and with views over the bay. The food is £40 for three courses or £45 for four, with two choices for each. They also have afternoon tea and cooking classes. We started with spicy pea soup. For me it was the best! The service is really good, all very professional and friendly. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely go back when I am in Skye.
