Things to see and do during your Stay at Cuil Lodge
A "must see" for many visitors to Uig is the Fairy Glen (pictured left). This is a short drive from Cuil Lodge
For those interested in history, Cuil Lodge is close to the "Museum of Island Life," and a short drive to Dunvegan Castle, home of the Chiefs of the Clan MacLeod for over 850 years
We can arrange Driven Tours around the many great sites of Skye for those wanting a day away from sitting behind the wheel. and for Guests without their own transport.
We can also arrange Local Wildlife and Garden Tours with a knowledgeable local Guide.
We are happy to make ferry arrangements for our Guests to visit the Isles of Harris, Lewis and North Uist. Such journeys normally have to be booked in advance if you're taking a car but, for foot passengers, no reservations are needed. For those not wanting to go quite so far, several boat trip operators can be found in Portree, a 20 minute drive from Cuil Lodge.
Transfers can be arranged to/from the many superb restaurants at the north end of Skye including the world famous "Three Chimneys Restaurant" at Colbost. We are happy to make Table Reservations on behalf of our Guests at any of Skye's great restaurants, but please give as much notice as you can as demand can by high during the summer months.
"Dark Skye Scotland" : Low levels of light pollution in many parts of Scotland make it one of the best areas for "dark skies" in Western Europe. Stargazing at Uig and, indeed, throughout the Isle of Skye, can be superb with countless stars visible on clear nights far in excess of what you will see in towns and cities. Guests at Cuil Lodge have access to "Dark Sky Scotland" Stargazing Guides. Bring your own telescopes and binoculars if you wish, but the naked eye is all you'll need to appreciate the "Sky above Skye."
Cuil Lodge is open most of the Year although we close for our own vacation in November.
We are also closed during the period 24th December to 5th January each year
