I only ever read the bad reviews on trip advisor, as you can safely assume that they are not written by the owners' pal and you can usually spot a fake bad review a mile off (especially if the management responds to it). So I had a good laugh at the bad reviews for the Three Chimneys. Honestly, I'm not sure if they were written about the place in which I stayed. I've been to many of the Michellin restaurants in Scotland and a fair few in England as well. I'm not a snob but I do like good food.

In my view, the food at the Three Chimneys is the best food that I have ever had in my life. The service was very personal, warm and friendly, the location was stunning (although the north of the "island" is more rugged and yes it is remote - use google maps before you arrive and complain - duh), the bed was the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in (by "Blindcraft" in Inverness - I am buying 12 for my serviced apartments in Aberdeen after this stay) and finally the room was one of the most thoughtfully provisioned, designed and laid out, that I have ever stayed in too.

Only minor complaint would be that - could you please tell everyone that there was a land slip on the A850, so the they don't have to drive the 140 mile detour from the west coast, back to inverness and then back again on the low road.

Overall, I really cannot fault the Three Chimneys. They know how to treat their guests well. I will certainly be back. Thank you for an incredible, relaxing weekend get-away.

What an experience,one of the best weeks of my life touring Skye and the west coast of scotland. Three Chimneys was for my birthday and what a present. Food,location and sevice amazing

Everything you read about this place is true: The hotel is a haven of comfort, the staff is – though partially VERY English – incredibly nice, warm hearted and natural ... and the food is really THAT good. Fresh, simple, not too quirky and absolutely convincing by its mere basic quality. In the wine list, prestige bottles are a bit on the steep side and sometimes ridiculously overpriced; but then there are relatively cheap and fair discoveries to be made. (This, however, concerns ALL oft he hotels and restaurants that we visited this time – particularly those in Edinburg.) As you’re completely out oft the world, several days of bad weather – particularly in winter, with gales – is no good news here, but you can spend hours in the lounge and drive a bit around, anyway.
I’d be back there any time!

A one night getaway for the beloved and myself, our only night away from the mutant ninja teenagers while on a month long trip to Scotland from the land Down Under. So it had better be good. And it was.

Delightful afternoon tea on arrival, and a very friendly welcome. Flexible dinner reservation which we needed after the belly swelling mince pies, Christmas cake, banana bread and the infused cream that we needed to recover from before we could even consider eating dinner.

The room was lovely, modern and warm (we turned the heating off and opened a window) with a gorgeous bath, delectable toiletries and fluffy towels, robes and slippers. We had to ask for an iron although a trouser press was ready and waiting in the cupboard??? A sweet little welcome pack of fruit and tablet for the non-Scot was very welcome.

Dinner. Well, amazing. Starters delicious. Main course - Lamb - do not go past the lamb. Even if you don't like lamb, order the lamb. We went a la carte and loved it. The Marmalade pudding and Drambuie Custard is famous and rightly so. Have it. You won't regret it. Extensive wine list with half bottles - good value across all ranges.

Breakfast, black pudding and bacon. Tiny pots of salmon pate and toast triangles. Yum. Porridge with whiskey - yes whiskey - just do it!! While you're on Skye be sure to go past the Tallisker Distilery and do the tour. Thirteen hours driving for dinner, bed and breakfast, we prayed to be snowed in but alas made it home with full tummies and hearts. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
