Duisdale House Hotel is a former hunting lodge set in the Garden of Skye, and was used by the Clan Chief of The MacDonalds in days of old.
Located in the south of the island, the hotel commands stunning, panoramic views overlooking the Sound of Sleat to the mainland mountains and beyond. Once a grand Victorian lodge it is undergoing extensive refurbishment and, when complete in early spring 2008, will have a luxurious, contemporary feel which will blend seamlessly with the historic building and gardens.
The hotel is set in 25 acres of ground which include gardens abundant with mature shrubs, plants and ancient woodlands which abound with wildlife. In the evenings the gardens are transformed into an enchanted forest by the coloured lights which appear to set the trees ablaze with colour. It is also magical on a moonlit night.
The elegant lounge with high ceilings and roaring log fire is popular for relaxing at any time of day or night but particularly in the evening after dinner when you can sit before the open fire enjoying some fine wine or malt whisky whilst dreaming of tomorrow’s adventures. Soak up the atmosphere of the dramatic decor as you sink into the plush sofas.
A traditional full Scottish breakfast is included before you depart, or why not try our house specialties of smoked haddock kedgeree or fresh Mallaig kippers; a real treat.

De omgeving
Exclusive daily sailing trips in the hotel’s private yacht ('Solus na Mara', a 42’ Jeanneau Sun Odyssey DS) are available from April to September. Sensational excursions in the Sound of Sleat to Loch Hourn, Loch Nevis, The Isle of Rhum or Sandaig Island – home of Gavin Maxwell (author of 'The Ring of Bright Water') await. Lunch on board with a glass of champagne is included, and the chance to sail in the company of whales, porpoises, seals and otters, adds a magical element to this awe inspiring trip. This is one of those enchanting, experiences which remain with you always. Don’t miss it!
Captain Ken Gunn and Anne Gracie will be your experienced crew on the yacht. Anne is a RYA Day Skipper and Ken is a master mariner and RYA Yachtmaster who for many years was Captain of The Hebridean Princess – probably the smallest luxury cruise ship in the world.
