Duisdale Country House Hotel

Whilst on our third tour of Scotland in the Summer of 2001 my wife and I happened upo The Duisdale Country House Hotel, a beautiful country house hotel, overlooking the sound of Sleat, on The Isle of Skye. We were greeted by the hotels owners and proprietors, mr and Mrs Campbell, and shown to our room, overlooking the vast blue sea and mountains of Scotland. The room was incredible, a four post bed, antique furnature, i could go on forever if i was a man of more words. But the best was yet to come, our meal has to rank amoungst the best i've ever experienced, 3 courses of the finest fresh Scottish ingredients prepared in a kitchen run by the classically trained Mrs Campbell. Her 5 years training in Paris showed in the perfection of this meal. After dinner we settled down by the log fire with 2 local malt whiskies and enjoyed the company of the other guests. One of the English visitors pointed out that he had flown up to the island from London that day to get away from it all, his favorite thing about the Duisdale? not the miles of unspoilt woodland and highland walks, not the incredible cuisine... but the fact that his mobile phone had no signal at the hotel, and he could well and truly... get away from it all.
