Emma Get a taste for Scotland’s ‘Wee Winter Breaks’ on the Isle of Skye and Argyll
The Wee Hotel Company is embracing its growing reputation for offering Scotland’s cosiest gourmet retreats with ‘Wee Winter Breaks’ on the Isle of Skye and Argyll coast.
The boutique hotel collection includes the world-famous Three Chimneys on Skye and The Pierhouse Hotel at Port Appin in Argyll.
Visitors and their four-legged friends are being enticed to these unique coastal venues with an emphasis on real authenticity, the magic of Scottish food and ingredients and a warm welcome.
From wild swimming experiences at Loch Linnhe, foraging to gather wild ingredients or a new cycling trail around the Argyll countryside, The Wee Hotel Company has carefully crafted a collection of authentic food and travel experiences as part of its new Wee Winter Breaks for 2024.
Nestled on the shores of Loch Dunvegan with the dramatic backdrop of the Duirinish peninsula of Skye, lies the iconic and world-renowned Three Chimneys Restaurant and The House Over-By with its choice of six guest rooms. The dramatic landscapes and seascapes of Skye encapsulate the autumn and winter seasons on this mystical isle, which is brimming with historic castles, lighthouses, beaches, fishing ports and distilleries.
Serving the best of Skye, land and sea, The Three Chimneys is based within an original Skye croft house. Inspirational dishes optimise the richness and variety of the island’s natural larder, including double-dived Sconser scallops from Loch Sligachan, wood-fired Skye red deer and roast partridge. The five-star AA restaurant is included in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland 2024.
Tucked away on the shores of Loch Linnhe, The Pierhouse Hotel & Seafood Restaurant at Port Appin offers breathtaking views to the islands of Lismore and Mull. The small hotel and renowned Scottish seafood restaurant is one of Argyll’s most idyllic and romantic destinations.
Menus at The Pierhouse include the freshest langoustines, mussels and lobsters harvested from Loch Linnhe and Loch Etive, as well as fine handpicked oysters from the oyster beds of Loch Creran, just 10 minutes from the hotel.
The Pierhouse restaurant has three silver stars, two AA rosettes and is one of only three Argyll restaurants included in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland 2024.
