I found the 'hotel' to be lacking in atmosphere and the decor was seriously dated and a bit jaded. I would have expected a cooked breakfast for the price. I felt that the whole set up was a bit ameturish although I understand that 'Shirley' and 'Eddie' and Co have been at this game for a while. I would recommend... more

We visited the The Three Chimneys for dinner last year and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, so much so that we arranged to come back again. We booked to stay at the Three Chimneys as well this time. As ever, dinner was fantastic with a great wine list to pick. We were interested to see the rooms having read differing opinions on... more

We stayed at the Three Chimneys and House-Over-By for my financee's 30th birthday, and thanks to Shirley, Eddie and their team, had a truly memorable time. Yes, it's expensive. But you wouldn't expect anything less for the level of service provided. The truly friendly welcome on arrival, with personal introductions was a great touch. The tea and (gorgeous) cake that... more

Dear PandaLovers, What can I say? This is such a complimentary review. Thank you very much. I think our staff are brilliant too and deserve every ounce of your praise. Meanwhile, Eddie and I are working on all the other aspects of running things here - all of the time! I do hope that you will return one day and...

I have got to agree with both Classical Cellist ,Waggstaff1 and HertfordEm74. Whilst I thought the food good the room, and breakfast area fell way short of what we expected . more

Dear eatwellAsbury, Thank you for your comments on TripAdvisor. Your message was waiting for me in the office early this morning. I am so sorry that you found our accommodation in The House Over-By so disappointing, but heartened that you enjoyed your meal in the restaurant. As I wrote in response to Wagstaff recently, our architects were here to stay...

We had always wanted to go to 'The Three Chimneys' and decided that when my husband took early retirement earlier this year we would do a gourmet tour of Scotland (terrible that we have lived in Scotland all our lives and this was our first visit to this part of the country). It also happened to be our anniversary and... more

If you are looking for a romantic getaway do NOT stay in the House Over By. We recently treated ourselves, after a week's camping in Skye, to three nights at the Three Chimneys. We had had a wet and wonderful week at Glenbrittle and were looking forward to continuing our walking holiday with a touch of romance and 'sumptuous' (as... more

Dear ClassicalCellist, Provence I am very happy to disclose to the whole wide world that I was the person who "ranted" at you when you left the premises and defended some of the unnecessary comments you had made about my business in the letter you left at Reception the evening before, addressed to "Management". I am also the person who,...

Having spent 4 nights camping on Skye, we were looking forward to our night of luxury at the end of the trip. We were not disappointed. Dinner, bed and breakfast at the Three Chimneys was a perfect end to our holiday on Skye. The staff were wonderful and helpful (providing coffee and cake on our arrival!) and the rooms perfect.... more

How can anyone fault this place? It is wonderful! We had a great stay for my mum's 60th birthday, the food was excellent, the staff very helpful and friendly and the rooms very plush with great views. I would recommend the 3 chimneys to anyone, breakfast was also fantastic. more

We booked for 2 nights stay in June 2007, having read Shirley's book and wanting to "see for oursleves". We did however wonder after seeing some of the reviews on this site whether we had made an expensive mistake. That couldn't be further from the truth - we found : Rooms - very good facilities, nicely decorated, sumptuous bathroom -... more

I have have been lucky enough to stay at some of the finest resorts around the world and sampled cuisine at some of the best restaurants and The 3 Chimneys is one of the best. My family and I spent a few days there and had exactly the experience I wanted. A cuisine reflecting the freshest and best of Scotland... more
