Kinloch Lodge

Tucked away on the shores of Loch Na Dal on the Isle of Skye, Kinloch Lodge delivers a captivating blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury. Once a hunting lodge and later a family home, this 17th-century farmhouse offers a warm welcome to travellers against the backdrop of the stunning natural landscapes of the Inner Hebrides. A commitment to sustainability and the local community underpins every moment, whether foraging with the ghillie, spotting local wildlife such as otters and golden eagles, or following one of the many walking trails. Dining at Kinloch Lodge is equally influenced by the natural beauty of the island, with skilfully crafted menus featuring locally sourced, foraged, and seasonal ingredients. From imaginative tasting plates at lunch to three-course dinners showcasing Skye’s culinary bounty, every meal is a delight, particularly when paired with a glass of one of the best organic and biodynamic wines from around the world, and topped off with one of 122 whiskies in the bar.

The property features 18 rooms set across two whitewashed stone buildings—North Lodge and South Lodge—each offering a unique ambiance. Warming but understated colour palettes, goose feather mattress toppers, Egyptian cotton bed linen and cloud-like duvets encourage the deep sleep that’s likely to be brought on by Skye’s crisp, fresh air, while views across Loch na Dal and the Sound of Sleat add a dramatic sense of place.
