LOCATION

Hotel Eilean Iarmain, also known as Isle Ornsay Hotel, is small and privately owned, situated on a sheltered bay in the south of Skye, with expansive views over the Sound of Sleat to the hills of Knoydart on the mainland.

People have been coming here for over a hundred years, drawn by a love for the landscape of this Hebridean island, its geology, botany, ornithology, history, culture and language. Writers and historians, poets and artists come for inspiration and knowledge. Others come for the peace of the hills and sea.

The hotel forms part of Fearann Eilean Iarmain, a traditional Estate covering 23,000 acres belonging to Sir Iain Noble. It lies in the parishes of Sleat and Strath, an area of great natural beauty with hills and moorland, woodland and seashore. This habitat sustains abundant bird life and a wide variety of plant species and wild flowers. The area is known as "Lios an Elein" ("the Garden of Skye") and is famous for its geology.

Beside the hotel, on the little harbour, is the headquarters of "The Gaelic Whiskies", the only whisky company with its headquarters in the Hebrides. There you can taste their connoisseur brands and buy a bottle at your leisure.
