“The dark winter skies on the Isle of Skye and the Argyll coast offer some of Scotland’s finest star-gazing opportunities, as well as the chance for some lucky visitors to witness the Northern Lights. Guests also have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of local wildlife during frosty walks in the morning or at dusk, including sea otters, seals, deer, hares, oyster catchers, guillemots and sea eagles.”
It added: “As the cold winter nights draw in, the teams at The Three Chimneys and The Pierhouse are already stoking up the fires, preparing heart-warming menus and plumping up the pillows for weary travellers in search of a seasonally snug, wee winter getaway.
“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.”
