We were in Skye in October and decided to see if all the hype was justified. Unfortunately not. There is no atmosphere here at all. The scenery all around is lovely (as is Skye in general) but the Three Chimneys and its little 'Hotel' were totally grim. The food really isn't anything you couldn't find elsewhere on the island. I... more

Yes - you are correct. My husband and I have owned The Three Chimneys for 25 years. Yes - we have got excellent, young, managers in all the key roles within the business these days. Thank you for your advice, but it is long outdated. No wonder the waitress looked at you blankly when you asked for the bones to...

This place lives up to its reputation and beyond. A truely special food experience with friendly and helpful staff and lovely spaces. The only thing lacking is a bit of atmosphere. It was rather like eating in a library.... but easy to forget this in favour of the amazing cuisine! more

Dear Fatspanna, Thank you for your compliments! I am very pleased that you enjoyed your meal with us. I am sorry you found it a quiet atmosphere on that particular day, but I can assure you that we have had reports and complaints about it being too rowdy as well!! It all usually depends on the mix of people and...

We booked lunch at the Three Chimneys as the highlight and treat of our trip to Isle of Skye and I am pleased to report that we were not disappointed and the meal lived up to our high expectations. The restaurant was easy to find and the setting was beautiful - as we parked our car we could see a... more

Thank you for your excellent comments. I am sorry you did not find the restaurant team very engaging that day. They are widely praised for their friendly and professional service, so I am not sure why you found them to be less chatty than they usually are. I am delighted you enjoyed the whole experience. Happy travelling and come again...

Without a doubt a very, very good restaurant, very good food, very good staff, good but expensive wine list. I can't quite put my finger on why I feel slightly dissapointed perhaps because it's the most expensive lunch I've ever had and i don't like paying over the odds for wine with a meal. Second best food on the island... more

Hello JPM Belfast. Thank you for placing your positive comments about your experience at The Three Chimneys on TripAdvisor. Despite the good feedback it is unfortunate that you felt the lunch was expensive and the wine list over-priced, but as our lunch menu is better than many dinner menus on the island, this opinion does not offer a true reflection...

The Three Chimneys had been recommended to us as one of two restaurants we had to visit during our week on Skye, so we booked some months in advance. We were not disappointed. The service was efficient and friendly without being overly familiar and the food was out of this world (we particularly liked the concept of a pre-dessert!). Of... more

Hello NilesCrane Halifax. Thank you for your lovely comments and I am delighted that you enjoyed the experience. Just a couple of point, in case other website browsers are unsure.........SatNavs are a nightmare in this part of the World, so we never recommend anyone to rely on them! Good old-fashioned maps are much more reliable, as are signposts and road...

The service was better than the food, which is backwards, and the location is unusual to say the least. more

Hello Cosmoman, Not quite sure what you mean by "backward", but sorry we did not live-up to your expectations all the same. We can't win everyone's heart, but we do an excellent job of doing so, most of the time. OTS

When driving to the Three Chimneys Restaurant at the western limits of the Isle of Skye you would never believe that a World Class restaurant could exist so far from "civilization." We were absolutely delighted and surprised at the excellent food, service and atmosphere of The Three Chimneys, which had been recommended to us by a tour guide at Dunvegan... more

Dear Travelamerica08, Wow! This is more like the kind or response we receive on a one-to-one basis from our guests and customers eating and staying with us at The Three Chimneys every day. You have "hit" right on the core of what we are all about and what we do best of all. We are after all, pretty unique in...

A lot of love and attention has gone into this place, and it shows. Our lunch at The Three Chimneys was every bit as wonderful as my friends and I had been hoping for in the months before our holiday in Skye in June. The Three Chimneys makes me proud to be Scottish in a way that many other more... more

Dear Cuptie, Wouldn't it be wonderful if all our reviews were like your one! Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this is appreciated by all of the team here in Skye. We are extremely proud of our reputation in Scotland and also, we do our very best to live-up to that reputation at all times. It...

We had three great dinners at The Three Chimneys and stayed at The House Over By. It was all excellent. The dinners were first class: fine ingredients, combined into interesting dishes with "a bit of a twist, and cooked to perfection. Great. The accommodation in The House Over By was also great. It isn't a hotel and doesn't set out... more
