SCONSER LODGE HOTEL, Sconser

Sconser Lodge Hotel is a former 19th-century hunting lodge with 7 individually decorated rooms. Guests can choose from Twin Rooms, Double Rooms, or Deluxe Double Rooms with Sea View, each offering direct views of Loch Sconser. Room amenities include a pair of binoculars to spot seals and whales in the bay, and bathrooms are newly modernized.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast included in the room rate, with dinner available as an optional addition. Chef Craig prepares locally sourced seafood, and his son Alfie makes the sticky toffee pudding. Guests consistently praise the fresh, local ingredients and the varied, skillfully prepared dishes.

The lodge sits directly on the shores of Loch Sconser, with views of the water from most rooms and the dining room. Kyle of Lochalsh is 35 km away, Eilean Donan Castle 49 km, Dunvegan Castle 43 km, and the Museum of the Isles 47 km. Benbecula Airport is 122 km from the hotel, and the property offers free on-site private parking.

The hotel is run by the family of Lisa and Craig, who are personally involved in every aspect of the lodge. The building retains its 19th-century character with antique furniture, original sashed windows with rippled glass, and a period hunting lodge charm. Non-smoking rooms are available throughout the property.
