Our History
Unlike most villages in Sleat, Ord is not a crofting township. The Ord village infact grew up round an 18th century farm. Ord was the home of the Macdonald family described in the book A Summer in Skye published in 1867.
The Nicolson family took over the lease of Ord Farm in 1926 and in 1947 the big house became Ord House Hotel, run by sisters Katie and Mary Flora Nicolson. People came from far and wide for the much celebrated afternoon teas.
Ord is also famous for the Cabbage Tree, a palm tree which grows in the walled garden at Failte. Seeds are said to have been shipped over from New Zealand in the 1870’s and over 140 years later the trees are still an amazing sight when in bloom.
Ord House is no longer a hotel and the farm has changed hands but Littleridge Self Catering is run by the same Nicolson family that first moved to Sleat, from Carbost, 85 years ago. We hope you will feel at home in Ord and enjoy everything Sleat has to offer as generations have done before.
