The Wee Hotel Company is embracing its growing reputation for offering Scotland's cosiest gourmet boltholes with the launch of new 'Wee Winter Breaks' on the Isle of Skye and Argyll coast for autumn and winter 2025.

The boutique hotel collection includes the world-famous Three Chimneys at Colbost on Skye, The Three Chimneys at Talisker on the shores of Loch Harport, and The Pierhouse Hotel at Port Appin on the Argyll coast.

Visitors and their four-legged friends are being enticed to these unique coastal venues with an emphasis on real authenticity, the magic of Scottish food and ingredients and a warm welcome.

From wild swimming experiences at Loch Linnhe, oyster tours at Loch Creran, foraging to gather wild ingredients, and an immersive dining experience at Talisker Distillery, The Wee Hotel Company has carefully crafted a collection of authentic food and travel experiences as part of its new Wee Winter Breaks for 2025.

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 walk in the morning or at dusk, including sea otters, seals, deer, hares, oyster catchers, guillemots and sea eagles.

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.

2. The Three Chimneys at Talisker

The Three Chimneys and Skye's oldest distillery, Talisker, are now leading the rise of the gastro-distillery on the island with 'The Three Chimneys at Talisker'. This immersive dining experience on the shores of Loch Harport is celebrating Skye as a world-class food and travel destination and reinforcing the island's reputation for culinary creativity.

Inspiration for the menus is taken from Talisker Distillery's unique location on the Minginish peninsula and an air that is filled with the salt and spray of the sea. Dishes complement the maritime character of Talisker with its notes of smoke, spice, peat, salt and pepper.

Led by The Three Chimneys' head chef, Paul Green and his team, The Three Chimneys at Talisker's a la carte menu includes an array of freshly caught langoustines, oysters, mussels and scallops. Diners can also enjoy the already famous seafood platter or locally cured meats and cheeses.
