Monkstadt 1745 Restaurant with Rooms

Monkstadt 1745 Restaurant with Rooms

Overview

Monkstadt 1745 combines a restored Skye house, period atmosphere and a small restaurant. It is a stay where the building tells as much of the story as the location.

Monkstadt 1745 is a restored historic house in Linicro on Skye's Trotternish peninsula. The small scale, panelled dining room and Whisky Room give it the feel of a house party rather than a conventional hotel. It is particularly compelling for a romantic night at the end of a day exploring northern Skye.

Eat

The panelled dining room is an intimate place for local produce, with the Whisky Room a natural continuation of the evening.

Dinner in the house's restaurant showcases local Skye produce in an intimate setting. Reserve ahead, as the room is small and service may be more limited than in a large hotel. The Whisky Room offers somewhere to linger afterward. If choosing self-catering accommodation in the wider estate, check whether the restaurant is operating on your night.

Sleep

Rooms in the main house and separate steadings are different kinds of accommodation. Select precisely for the features you want.

Accommodation ranges from rooms and suites in the main house to separate steadings and cottages. Some suites have four-poster beds or roll-top baths; selected cottages have hot tubs. These are distinct products, so choose the exact room or property rather than relying on the estate name alone. Check breakfast and restaurant access for the unit you book.

Retreat

The Trotternish landscape is the main daytime attraction; the house provides a quiet return after touring the north of Skye.

Trotternish's dramatic landscapes are the reason to spend daylight outside, with the coastal location providing a quieter base than Portree. Return for a dram and dinner in the house. There is no large hotel spa; any private hot tub is attached only to selected accommodation and should never be assumed with a standard room.

Distances on Skye can take longer than expected, so leave time to return from Trotternish sightseeing before the restaurant sitting. The dining room itself is part of the historic house experience, and the Whisky Room invites a slow finish to the night.
