Flodigarry Hotel

Trotternish


From 1751–59 Flora MacDonald lived in a cottage that is now part of this atmospheric hotel, given a new lease of life by adventurous owners. You can stay in the cottage itself (there are four bedrooms), or in the more spacious rooms in the main hotel; nonguests are welcome at the stylish bar and restaurant, with great sea views.
