Evening you need for your stay is available in the converted steading. The space is comfortable and clean with high quality furnishings and crockery. The nearest large store for self catering food is in Portree, so it is recommended to go there before arriving at Monkstadt. Monkstadt offer a phenomenal breakfast and wonderful evening menu in the main lodge house restaurant. They also have a cozy bar with open fire. Highly recommend their whisky flights by the fire.

Tips for other travellers

The local area is steeped in history from Bonnie Prince Charlie, Flora Macdonald, the clans and their disputes to the Vikings. From Monkstadt you have the perfect location to venture out on hikes in the Quaraing or Fairy Glen, get the ferry to the Outer Hebrides or simply make Monkstadt your base to explore all Skye has to offer.

Beautiful historical building and location. Had a stylish and warm feel to it. Very comfortable and well set out. Stayed two nights, but would book for a week next time, it was so relaxing. Thank you for a great stay.

Hiked the big three of Skye - The Old Man of Storr, the Scorry breac and Quirang. Amazing walks! Could have explored these for longer with more time. Loved both the Relish Portree and the Highland Cow Shops. The pies, coffees and treats for sale were delicious. Service very welcoming too.

Very accommodating, lovely slice of heaven. Tasty meals! Thanks for accommodating us for breakfast even though we stayed in a cottage. It was delicious and very much appreciated. Loved the location and looking out the windows at the amazing view. Very spacious to accommodate two couples in 'Flora's Secret'.

One thing that surprised me on Isle of Skye was how far away everything is. It doesn't matter where you stay on the island, eveerything seems to take 45min- 1 hour to commute. Traffic was conjested and lots of tourists during our stay (last week of Aug, high season) but Monkstadt was away from it all. If you want serenity, stay there. We got up at 3:30am to hike Old Man Storr for Sunrise, and it was worth it! We had it to ourselves!!!
