It would be hard to find a more dramatic and inspiring setting in the whole of Scotland, let alone Europe, than the one enjoyed by the world famous Sligachan Hotel. With the Black Cuillin towering at its back and the sparkling waters of Loch Sligachan at its foot, the hotel has served mountaineers, walkers and lovers of wild Highland scenery for over 175 years. Sligachan Hotel is family owned and run, remaining in the Campbell family since 1912 and continues to provide the high standards for which it is renowned. Modernised & expanded over the years it provides an ideal base for any type of break, be it climbing in the Black Cuillins or simply 'getting away from it all'.
Services
The Sligachan Hotel have 21 comfortable bedrooms suitable for single travellers, couples and families. The mixture of Single, Twin, Double, Superior Double and Family bedrooms are all ensuite with modern amenities. The hotel offers free high speed wifi to all staying guests and it is available in the rooms and public areas throughout the hotel.
For hotel guests, Lunch is served 12pm - 3pm in Seumas' Bar when open and Dinner (5pm-9pm) is served in Mackenzies Bar & Bistro with unparalleled views out to the Cuillin Hills. We will also be utilising the extra space available in the hotel dining room for lunch and dinner service to ensure appropriate social distancing.
A haven for climbers who have earned a well-deserved pint and hearty meal after a day on the Cuillin as well as an informal and lively bar for locals and holiday makers alike, Seumas' Bar has been a popular spot since it's addition to the Hotel in 1987. Renowned for it's impressive collection of over 400 malts from every pocket of Scotland, the full gantry will please those who wish to sample some of Scotland's 'Uisge Beatha' (water of life). Proof of the bar's popularity lies it's title of 'WHISKY BAR OF THE YEAR', which it has maintained for four consecutive years.

The staff were lovely, helpful and very accommodating. Our room was very nice with plenty of space. We chose to sit in the bar for our food and drinks as it was so nice and cosy. The views were amazing. Fairy pools are close by and were amazing to go see. We will definitely be back. We were sad to leave.

Wow! Another amazing stay. I don't know where to start with all the great things to say about this hotel. We stayed in the beautiful Pinnacle suite with our two boys. It was perfect. A stunning view from each of the many windows. Plenty of space, comfy beds and a lovely bathroom with a brilliant shower - everything that you need and more! For ease with two small children, we decided to have all our meals at the hotel and we were not disappointed.
The food was excellent. The staff bent over backwards to make sure the kids were happy too - nothing was too much trouble. The beer garden was a fabulous new addition from our last stay. We had our first post-lockdown drinks, taking in the beautiful views while warmed by the fire pits. Just perfect. We can't wait to come again!

This is a great spot as a starting point for hikers and mountain climbers and it's a historic location. It's a bit pricey for the accommodations compared with everywhere else we stayed on our Scotland vacation, maybe because of the remote location. The wifi rarely worked, the staff was very nice, the brewery next door is a huge bonus.

Superb location on the bend of the A87 road, with a stunning backdrop of the Cuillin. The Glasgow & Inverness to Uig Citylink buses stop here. Nice place for a spot of lunch and a few drinks, or stay for a few days at the campsite over the road, which is also excellent. The food and ale is excellent, and tastes even better after a full day of walking. Monty Hall's great escape featured the hotel when he took part in the Glamaig run.

Great food, great beer, great views - what more do I need to say? The location is stunning - right in the heart of the Cuillins. Campsite and hotel, with bar food and good beer brewed on the premises. It can get very busy in the summer, but the service is still good and reasonably quick (very important if you have kids). The campsite associated with the hotel can be quite 'midgy' but then again where in Scotland can't be in summer? - but you can spend the evening in the bar avoiding the midgies and partaking of a few local beers or whiskies. Mmmm.

The Sligachan hotel is one of my favourite places in the world and I have spent many an hour here whiling away the evenings (and afternoons!). They now have their own brewery called the Cuillin Brewery (I think) that has 3 or 4 brands all of which are highly drinkable. The food has always been first rate and is probably better than you would expect from a pub on Skye! Walking in after 8 hours on and around the Ridge is an unparalleled experience and I urge everyone to get up there. But the ridge is a very serious place and should not be taken lightly, I only go up with my dad because he has 40 years of experience!

Lovely hotel. Nice atmosphere in the bar. Very spacious. Staff are friendly and proffesional Very child friendly and a playpark over the drive;o Superb location for touring the island or walking/climbing. You can get dropped/picked up here on the buses from Glasgow and Inverness. Nice place for a spot of lunch and a few drinks. The backdrop to the hotel is spectacular. Wherever you head to in skye you'll pass this hotel, you cant miss it! x

Great hotel - what Skye's all about. This hotel is right alongside the famous pack horse bridge that seems to appear on every advert for Skye. The views all round are incredible (Weather depending) and any outdoorsy type person will relish the position of the Hotel at the foothills of the Cuillins. The locals sit outside and laugh at all the walkers heading off with Compass' round their necks! (type Gabbro into Google if you're not sure why!) If you gancy a stroll, try and run from the hotel up to the top of Glamaig and back in under 45 mins - if you do you'll be a record breaker! (Glamaig is the cone shaped mountain next to the Loch). Or you could do it barefoot and try and beat the 55min record by a ghurka in the late 1880's!
