New Chapter for Hotel Eilean Iarmain as Fearann Eilean Iarmain Announces Tenancy Agreement

Fearann Eilean Iarmain is pleased to announce that Hotel Eilean Iarmain will be leased to a new tenant this summer, marking an exciting new chapter for this much-loved Isle of Skye hotel.

At the heart of Fearann Eilean Iarmain, the estate and businesses established by the late Sir Iain Noble, Hotel Eilean Iarmain has a history dating back to 1888 and has long been a hub of hospitality, heritage, and Gaelic culture. Its continued role as a beacon of tradition and community will remain a priority under the care of its new stewards, The Original Collection who bring extensive experience in the hospitality sector, with a philosophy rooted in care, character, and cultural respect. Speaking on the transition, Nick Dent, co-founder of The Original Collection, said:

“At The Original Collection we are known as the Hotel Explorers — we search far and wide to discover the hidden gems that memorable experiences are made of. We are very excited to add Hotel Eilean Iarmain to our collection of hidden gems and continue building on the great work that has been done to date. We are looking forward to working with Lucilla and her team to further the reputation of Eilean Iarmain, maintain its Gaelic identity, and continue to offer amazing experiences.”

Kate Preston, Hotel Manager will continue in her role along with the entire hotel team to offer visitors and locals the same “fàilte chridheil” — a warm Gaelic welcome – for which Eilean Iarmain is renowned.

Commenting on the announcement, Lucilla Noble of Fearann Eilean Iarmain, said:

“I know that Nick and his team will uphold the values, hospitality and spirit of Hotel Eilean Iarmain. I am confident Iain’s legacy will continue to be honoured and celebrated. Eilean Iarmain will continue to be my home and I look forward to seeing the hotel thrive under new stewardship.”

The lease is expected to take effect from Friday, 1 August 2025.
All existing bookings remain secure.
