we spent two nights at Kinloch Lodge with our two sons in july, it was a great experience! The view, of course, but also the special menus for the kids on request. An ideal place to visit Skye. You feel home immediately thanks to Tom's smile ! more

My wife and I spent a lovely long weekend up on Skye and stayed at Kinloch Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing food served up by the MacDonald owners. The views across to Knoydart are stunning from the hotel and surrounds. The interior has a cosy Scottish baronial feel. The only potential issue with the charming place is its remotish... more

We have just spent the most fabulous five days at Kinloch Lodge on the Isle of Skye. The hotel is by a loch, with breathtaking views of the surrounding rugged landscape. The hotel has a lovely homely feel and all the bedrooms are individually designed, extremely clean and very comfortable. My husband and I were extremely well looked after, especially... more

Everything about this place was charming. The room was very comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The service was on point at all times - friendly attentive and genuine, though a bit formal at times. The food and wine were superb! The lack of other services on Skye led us to believe that we had found our own oasis in Kinloch. Reservations... more

Booked by phone with hotel, mentioning unflattering review on Tripadvisor which suggested some rooms were shabby. When we arrived, we were upgraded to a spectacular large room with a wonderful view. Very comfortable, tho the water in the bathroom was brown from the peat! Drinks in the lounges before dinner were delightful and dinner was GREAT! more

We had dinner at Kinloch in early Sept 07. Having eaten a couple of less than wonderful meals on Skye, but having loved Claire Macdonalds cook books we were not sure what to expect. It was wonderful: freshly made cheese biscuits with our drinks, wonderful crab and scallops, fantastic beef, delicious puddings and chocolates. All generous helpings made with fresh... more

We stayed at Kinloch Lodge for two nights from 31st August (just prior to the previous reviewer) and found the hotel to be everything we had hoped for and more! We stayed in Room 11, in the old building and, yes, it is a historic property and a little tired around the edges but I have never felt so comfortable... more

We have just returned from a trip to Skye where we spent 2 days at this hotel and left feeling very disappointed. We booked 5 months in advance and paid a full rate of £275 B&B per night and expected 5* accomodation, sadly our room (no 7) was sub 3* and can only be described as very tired, a good... more
