The Lodge Hotel Isle of Skye Scotland


Try something just that little bit different ... ... holiday in a 16th century hunting lodge with a reputation for delicious food, delectable drinks, charming rooms, and allegedly a few guests, or rather phantoms of yore, whose ghostly presence makes the Lodge a most exceptional destination. Located adjacent to Loch Greshornish, on Scotlands Isle of Skye, the Lodge was originally built by the notable Macleods of Greshornish. Since 1543 this solid stone building has proved to be a safe haven from a hectic world. Although one of the oldest coaching inns on the island, this secluded hotel has managed to retain its original classic appearance but still provide cosy bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation. A romantic refuge steeped in history where you can enjoy the very best food, friendly atmosphere and be ideally placed to visit all of the tourist attractions of northern Skye And don`t worry about the restless spirits ... ... ghosts treated with respect actually protect the household from misfortune. The Lodge`s spectres are therefore treated with the utmost respect! Start the evening by enjoying an aperitif besides the roaring fire in the snug lounge area. Browse the evening`s varied menu, which will consist of the very freshest of seasonal produce. Choose from mouth-watering Scottish beefsteaks, lightly smoked haddock, venison casseroles or perhaps juicy langoustines. Only the finest local ingredients are used. The hotel owners have a passion and an enthusiasm for good food and know only how to produce superb meals. An unhurried and hearty full Scottish breakfast in the morning will be something to savour. In the colder months you may care to breakfast by the peat fire.

Robert Louis Stevenson the writer who once lived in Inverleith Terrace, only a few doors from the Inverleith Hotel said: "Edinburgh, is what Paris ought to be. Its magnificent architecture shifts from the lofty buildings of its medieval Old Town, as they tumble down the spine of the Royal Mile, to the grace of the Georgian New Town. Above it all, in its towering splendour, stands the Castle. Every step is a revelation - an alleyway which reveals an ancient courtyard, or a wynd which opens up a new panorama. And yet within this sweeping elegance is a compact city, a bustling city, above all a city which rewards every visitor."
