Flodigarry Country House

WE'RE ON THE ISLE  of Skye‘s romantic north-east coast. Sheltered in the lee of Quiraing Mountain, Flodigarry sits safely above the waves of Staffin Bay. Quaint whitewashed Flora‘s Cottage is tucked into the secluded grounds beside this original 19th century house with its pretty garden. Here‘s where legendary Scottish heroine Flora MacDonald lived after helping Bonnie Prince Charlie flee Culloden‘s battlefield in 1746.

Flodigarry is a great-value escape for those seeking peace and seclusion. You'll find warmly furnished rooms, crackling fires in winter and a true traditional Highland feel. Bedrooms charm with plenty of antiques, tartans and wood and (in some) Victorian cast iron baths.

Panoramic sea and mountain views abound. Dinners are served by candlelight, and menus major on  fresh caught seafood, garden-grown produce and home-baked breads. Enjoy a dram of Talisker house malt later or join in a foot-tapping ceilidh complete with pipe and fiddles on some nights.

Whale and wildlife watching

The owners tend Flodigarry with panache. Flora‘s Cottage makes an appealing hideout, while the Quiraing and Torridon rooms enjoy four-posters and outstanding views. Enjoy relaxed silver-service dining  that‘s big on seafood, beef and game. Share whispers in the secret lovers‘ garden, take scenic walks, go whale or wildlife watching or set sail on a boat trip (and fish for your supper).
