Win a cosy ‘Wee Winter Break’ at The Three Chimneys on Skye, worth £1,000.

One of Scotland’s cosiest gourmet boltholes, The Three Chimneys, has launched the new ‘Wee Winter Break’ for autumn and winter 2027-28. This renowned retreat in the hamlet of Colbost is enticing visitors to the remote coastal setting on the Isle of Skye with its emphasis on authenticity, the magic of Scottish cooking and ingredients, and a warm welcome to the scenic Hebridean island. Enter our competition and you and a guest could be planning a cosy two-night stay, including breakfast, dinner and a private cookery course with the head chef.

Menus are shaped by the island’s fishermen, crofters, growers and foragers, with inspirational dishes showcasing the richness and variety of the island’s natural larder throughout the seasons, including langoustines and double-dived Sconser scallops from Loch Sligachan. Indicative of its culinary prowess, the five-star AA restaurant is included in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland, as well as the Good Food Guide.

Three Chimneys Restaurant, housed within an original croft house, and The House Over-By, with its choice of six guest rooms, sit on the shores of Loch Dunvegan. Skye’s Duirinish Peninsula provides a dramatic backdrop to it all and each room offers uninterrupted views towards the Outer Hebrides.

In autumn and winter, the island’s landscapes and seascapes are at their most atmospheric, with historic castles, lighthouses, beaches, fishing ports and distilleries waiting to be explored.

The dark winter skies on the Isle of Skye offer some of Scotland’s finest star-gazing too, as well as the chance to witness the Northern Lights. Guests may even be lucky enough to catch sight of local wildlife during a frosty walk in the early morning or at dusk – look out for sea otters, seals, oystercatchers, guillemots, sea eagles, deer and hares.

As the winter nights draw in, the team at The Three Chimneys is stoking up the fires, preparing warming menus and plumping up the pillows for weary travellers in search of a seasonal, snug getaway.
