This property is a former hunting lodge and has some fabulous character and charm with some updates that enhanced the property, including a beautiful restaurant offering locally sourced dishes. We tried the salmon, cullen skink, venison and beef, all of which were top notch. Wendy was our server and she went above and beyond to take care of us. We only stayed two nights and wished we could have stayed longer as the area and this hotel have so much to offer. We stayed in the Gate House which had two bedrooms, a sitting room, patios and a large bathroom, with a tub, shower and heated floors. The building and the decor were impressive and a perfect fit for our family. We enjoyed breakfast each day at the main lodge, which offered a number of breakfast options, all of which we enjoyed. The service and staff were beyond pleasant and helpful. This property is truly top notch. We would definitely book here again and hopefully for a longer period of time.

We enjoyed the nature around the property. Rooms were clean and the staff was so friendly. Breakfast and Dinner were also terrific. I would have liked to see a safe in the room. For us, the pillows were hard, perhaps some less firm pillows? Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Avoid the hype and stay somewhere else! An expensive stay for little value. Avoid the hype and find somewhere else. The property's location is lovely, however that is where it ends. The room we booked was a cosy double. It sure was! A 3m x 3m room that smelt old and damp. The room was so small, my second piece of luggage had to be accessed from the floor in front of entry door and then we had to step over it. When I said the room was small, I wasn't kidding. The shower cubicle was tiny. Dangerously tiny. We booked dinner in the restaurant months ago and anticipated we would be dining in the atrium, instead we were seated with a view of the carpark as we watched other guests enjoy the view over the loch. Find somewhere else to stay on Skye to avoid any disappointment.

Skeabost is a hidden gem on Skye. I typically stay in Portree, but chose this hotel for a change of pace. I was glad I did! The setting on the bay was stunning and the grounds of the hotel were perfect for an afternoon walk. The hotel restaurant was fantastic- exceeded expectations. Well appointed luxury room and bathroom. Convenient location so long as you have a car. Will be back!
