11 The Three Chimneys, United Kingdom
Part of the pleasure of The Three Chimneys is getting there. Driving there entails a trek through the Scottish Highlands, and its everchanging panoramas of peaks, glens and lochs, before arriving at the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. The largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye is blessed with startling and, often, surprising landscapes that are, at once, remote and rugged. After exploring the island’s natural beauty, from the serene shores to the jagged Cuillin Mountains, taking in along the way with, perhaps, a visit to the Talisker Distillery, reward yourself with a stop at The Three Chimneys. Snuggled up in the cosy, candle-lit ambience of the century-old stone cottage and tuck into a meal that reflects Skye and Scotland’s wealth of ingredients, all created upon a culinary ethos that has steadily refined over the past 30 years. Currently The Good Food Guide 2018 Editor’s Choice for UK Restaurant of the Year, one of the simplest way to getting a table here is to book a room at The House Over-by, which is conveniently right next door. threechimneys.co.uk
