We stayed here for a couple of nights on a tour of the islands and found this the most relaxing place of all. The handful of rooms alongside the restaurant itself must be among the best designed of any I've stayed in, light and airy and beautifully decorated, with great bathrooms. I'd like to know who the architect was. And where alse could you sit having breakfast and watch an otter playing on the rocks on the loch shore opposite? The food in the restaurant is great, of course, and I think good value. We stayed with our three young children, who had a separate room next door to ours. As there are only a few (6?) rooms, with rooms arranged in pairs within the building, this worked well for as, almost as good as interconnecting rooms. Our children were the first to stay in the House Over By back in 1999, and the staff are very welcoming and friendly, so I'd recommend the Three Chimneys to families, although clearly not a budget option.

The only comment I'd make on the subject of child friendliness is that if your children eat with you in the restaurant, they'll be expected to take the full menu at £50. I can understand why the restaurant would do this given how busy it is, but it would be good if there was some sort of childrens' option (maybe for guests staying in the House Over By only) e.g half portions, option to take 2 courses at reduced cost.

We returned to 3 chimneys in june 14 months after our last stay. I had been concerned to read to recent negative comments on trip advisor. All I can say is that we found a warm, professional welcome, comfortable, spacious and well equipped room. two fabulous evening meals, well served by competent, friendly and knowlegeble staff. We enjoyed a packed lunch on one day and in general found that staff tried to go the "extra mile" for you.
Sure it's expensive but its a great experience and one we really enjoyed. PS the glorious weather didn't half help!

This was as good as it gets. We had been given a voucher by our son for my birthday and extended our stay to two days. The room was lovely, bathroom fabulous and service excellent. The meals were delicious but not too heavy so one didn't feel too full. It was quite quiet with the other guests mainly Scottish and in couples rather than big parties but that added to the sense of peace. The food was as good as we had ever tasted with a short but comprehensive menu- lovely seafood. What was particularily nice was that we were never rushed when having our meal and were able to savour the lovely flavours and generally take our time. Breakast was extensive but not cooked which was a bit of a relief as you didn't feel you had to order a cooked breakfast just because it was on the menu. Picnics were really good value and excellent. It was expensive but this sort of experience doesn't come cheap and really was a treat.

Hope to be back next year - my husband has a birthday!!

We have just returned from an utterly enjoyable stay at The Three Chimneys.

We stayed for two nights and really cannot fault the evening meals. We thought that the food was fantastic and the meal was keenly priced for the quality and quantity of food. We were also very surprised at the price of alcohol. Normally you find that a resturant with a reputation like this place has a huge mark up on their wines but we really didn't find that at all.

The rooms all have a lovely outlook and are large enough. Again the mini bar prices were very good.

The only complaint that I would have (and really it isn't even a complaint) is the breakfast room. The room itself has stunning views however the furniture looks cheap and cheerful - ideally I would have liked to have seen that the owners had spent a touch more money on the tables and chairs.

Altogether though a fabulous experience and one that we are keen to repeat in the near future!
