Kinloch Lodge Hotel and Restaurant

Location: The hotel is beautifully situated on a sea loch in Sleat, Isle of Skye, offering breathtaking views. Many guests enjoyed the serene and romantic setting, perfect for a getaway or special occasions.

We just spent four nights at Kinloch Lodge (October 8 - 12, 2025) and honestly, it felt less like a hotel and more like visiting close friends. My husband and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The hospitality is what really surprised and impressed us. From the minute we arrived, the entire team made us feel instantly at home. A huge thank you to Isabella for her attentive and personalised care; she’s a star. In fact, the whole household and dining staff were incredibly thoughtful. We have travelled a lot, world wide, and Kinloch provided a level of genuine care you rarely find. And the food is world-class. We ate in the restaurant every night and were consistently impressed by the creativity and quality. Danny’s superb sommelier knowledge and pairings were spot-on and the commitment to local, seasonal ingredients truly shines through, right down to the delightful breakfast. We spent a memorable morning foraging with Skye Ghillie Mitchell Partridge. Mitchell was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, giving us a real, hands-on appreciation for Skye’s natural pantry, finishing with a cook-up out on the salt flat. That was a truly unique experience! Of course, the location is simply breathtaking. The original lodge dates from the 1600’s, is beautifully kept and set against a stunning backdrop, providing the most peaceful, luxurious escape. Waking up to those loch views was the perfect start to every day. If you are traveling to the Isle of Skye and looking for a blend of comfort, top-tier food, and heartfelt hospitality, book Kinloch Lodge. We will return!

Just a lovely hotel on the Isle of Skye! I cannot imagine staying anywhere else. The staff went out of their way to make every person feel at home and to ensure all needs were met. The rooms were lovely, the food amazing, and the grounds just take your breath away. My only regret is that I did not have more time to just sit in the living room with a pot of tea and a book...or to hike nearer the property. Thank you thank you to our wonderful hosts for making this one of the highlights of our summer trip to Scotland.
