Kinloch Lodge

Macdonald family lodge on Skye with dogs in the bedrooms only

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
The Macdonald family's old shooting lodge at the head of Loch na Dal in Sleat, the green southern end of Skye, and one of the island's serious dining addresses. It is a small house with a big kitchen reputation and a hillside behind it. It suits couples who want a long dinner and a slow morning rather than a base for hard walking. Dogs are welcome in the bedrooms but stay out of the public rooms, so it works best if the plan is a walk, a wash and a room service tray.

Why it's in the collection

The Leitir Fura forest trail through the old Kinloch woods starts a short drive up the road, and the shore of Loch na Dal below the lodge is a quiet tidal walk at low water.

Dogs stay in the bedroom with you and are not in any of the public rooms, and cannot be left alone.

Dogs are taken on request and must be booked in, at GBP 30 for up to two dogs per night. They are allowed in the bedroom while you are in it, and not in the public rooms of the lodge. They cannot be left alone in the room at any point. The hotel asks for dogs on a lead around the grounds because of livestock nearby.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
