  • Sweeney’s Bothy–Eigg

    The Bothy experience but with modern conveniences: electricity, wood burning stove, midge screens, solar panels, spring water, and an outdoor shower. What’s not to love?

  • Monkstadt 1745–Isle of Skye

    A luxury lodge that was the former home of the chief of Clan McDonald. Think roll top baths, glorious views and fine dining.

  • Clachaig Inn–Glencoe

    A traditional Inn with comfortable rooms. The ‘Boots Bar’ serves pub food and cask ales. I stayed here while walking the West Highland Way–It’s a great place to unwind after a days adventure.

    Whisky Brand Ardbeg have created a luxurious new Hotel in Port Ellen with 12 themed bedrooms. I stayed in the previous incarnation of this hotel and I have high hopes. Opens in Autumn 2025
