Hame Hotel, Isle of Skye, Scotland - Explore & Book
"We’ve had our eyes on Skye for years, fuelled by a hunger to experience its epic landscapes. The island’s topography is extraordinary: a circus of jagged mountain peaks, jostling lochs and mythical fairy pools. But finding a chic hotel or B&B on the island is not easy – we've been looking for years. And then we hit the jackpot: a place which is high on style and service, and which for some reason remains under the radar of most visitors.Tucked away near Dunvegan in the island’s northwest corner, sweet little Hame gazes out over Loch Vatten. The landscape here is ruggedly beautiful: a stark scene of open plains giving way to sapphire-blue water and the Cuillin Mountains beyond. In keeping with the tranquillity, the hotel seamlessly fuses calming Nordic design with home comforts. The bedrooms are simple but smart, featuring muted grey tones and woollen throws. If you're coming as a group, you can book the whole of the main building (4-5 bedrooms), and have the place to yourselves – with or without staff to cater and plan activities. In its B&B guise, breakfast is all part of the experience, with hearty Scottish fare on offer in a light-filled, glass-walled dining room overlooking the loch. You are encouraged to treat the place like your home; manager Ada offer local info as well as a help-yourself supply of local Scotch. We’ll take ours in an armchair by that roaring log fire, please!
