‘This is my home, this is my soup’ – in praise of simple things.

February 24, 2026 by katie Leave a Comment

If you’ve had a long drive to get to us, or if you’ve had a big day adventuring before you check in, or if you just want to put your ‘jamas on as you settle into your bedroom then you’re the reason we decided last year to offer soup and sandwiches on the day of your arrival. Available in the sitting room, the dining room or in your bedroom. This photo was taken by one of our guests.

All the soup is homemade, gluten free and vegan. It’s extra tasty because of all the fresh ingredients roasted in it.

The bread is thick and fresh and the fillings have been thought through carefully (you get to choose from a wide range). Here’s the hammy ham just out of the oven.

It’s absolutely not fancy but it’s just the ticket. As one of our guests said “soup is the welcoming food. You open your door and say ‘here is my home, here is my soup'”. I like that very much.

Welcome

Wouldn’t it be lovely to get away from it all to a Hebridean island where you can relax and unwind,  explore and learn or challenge yourself physically, whatever suits your holiday needs. An island where history and the 21st century combine to give you the best possible experience. The Taigh Ailean team would really like to help you get the most of your time on Skye. From insider tips about the quieter spots to helping you book a swanky lunch to celebrate life, we’re so happy to help.
You’ll find amazing breakfasts, cosy rooms and a warm welcome at the Taigh Ailean Hotel.

We can also help you plan your days, suggest places to eat along your drives and help you make reservations (with enough notice of course :) )
