The Experience
Follow the road for 15 miles down the glen, past tiny cottages and wandering sheep, around the loch and over the mountain, to a converted croft house at the end of the track, where a glass of prosecco greets you on arrival and Belgian hot chocolate is offered before bed.
The breakfast room runs along the front of the house with a string of windows that frame the view, and the restaurant is in the conservatory. While the wood-burner keeps things cosy, the small daily-changing menu is testimony to the chef’s exceptional food. Two bedrooms and two suites – simple and stylish – are divided between Coruisk House and The Steading next door.
Drop down to Elgol harbour, where Bonnie Prince Charlie fled for his life, and gaze upon the mighty Cuillin rising from the sea – you might also glimpse seals and puffins. You can roam the hills for miles to spot deer.

My (now) wife and I stayed and dined here for our wedding which we had down on Elgol beach in late August. The entire experience from start to finish was absolutely incredible…. We were impressed by the local sourcing of ingredients, high quality of preparation and the nuance of each dish….. The wine list is extensive and personally researched by the ever-so-kind owners, and you really feel like they are welcoming you as old friends or family into their home. On the whole, we were extremely pleased with our time at Coruisk house and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Location
The neighbourhood
Wild walks start from the door, and the bay of Camasunary is close. The view over Loch Scavaig from Elgol harbour (2km) is one of the most spectacular in the UK. Climb Blaven, the only munro on Skye outside the Cuillin ridge, or take a boat trip to Rum and Canna. It’s a wonderful area for wildlife: you can watch sea eagles and golden eagles circling the house, and red deer trotting into the fields.
Local points of interest from Iain Roden & Clare Winskill
- Fantastic walks abound. Escape to the real remote part of Skye away from the crowds. Discover clearance villages, Bonnie Prince Charlie's cave and an iron age broch. See the finest view of the Cuillin on Skye! ** Our gorgeous thatched cottage now available
- Boat trips from the harbour just a five minute drive away take you to spectacular Loch Coruisk or the stunning islands of Rum and Canna. See sea eagles, golden eagles, dolphins, puffins, basking sharks and (on a good day!) orcas and minke whales....
- We are known for our exquisite wine list including more than 70 Burgundies, each one carefully chosen. Ask Clare to make a loaf of her delicious bread, truffles and shortbread to take away with you. Please order at the time the room reservation is made
- Large luxurious suite available. Two double bedrooms each with sumptuous king size double bed. Also includes separate bathroom, shower room and sitting room. White walls, Kate Forman fabrics, large claw foot bath. New this year our gorgeous cosy cottage!
- Come and taste our locally sourced venison from Ross Macrae at Edinbane, our lamb and hogget from Linicro Larder and Dunflashadder Croft, our fish is landed at Kyle of Lochalsh and shellfish in Elgol harbour.
- Come and get married here (why not elope.....?). We can help with your arrangements and offer a delicious wedding breakfast for two to 12 guests. Have a look at our website for details. Skye is home to world class wedding photographers. Make memories here

Introducing
Iain Roden & Clare Winskill
Owners Iain and Claire are "passionate and obsessed by the beauty that surrounds Coruisk House,” helping guests discover the best of the Strathaird peninsula. Also passionate about food and wine, they use the finest ingredients, from wild venison and hand-dived scallops to Scottish cheeses and Drambuie. Iain can also turn his hand to lovely vegetarian dishes.
My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Coruisk House and it was truly fabulous. We have very special memories of warm and inviting hosts in Claire and Iain, wonderful food and beautiful accommodation. We dined most nights in the restaurant and looked forward to locally sourced and carefully prepared venison, beef, lamb and seafood, including scallops, mussels and langoustines. Breakfast was also delicious. Claire’s local knowledge is superb and she helped us to find walking routes and swimming spots off the beaten track. Wewere so impressed we will definitely make a return trip, thank you.
