Set in a converted cluster of fisherman’s houses along Portree Harbour the hotel offers plenty of character and quirks. There are 17 en-suite bedrooms with all expected facilities.
If you are looking for luxury accommodation with great Highland Hospitality in Skye, then look no further than historic Skeabost House Hotel, a family owned boutique hotel, part of the Sonas Hotel...

It was brilliant! The whole place is really beautiful with stunning views! The rooms are clean, cosy, and with soft pillows and beds. Every nook and cranny has a thoughtful touch. And the service was really good. Paul and Mairi were so accommodating and friendly. Our stay was definitely relaxing.

To this day, this is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed. It was my second time with them and I promised myself to come back every year, it literally is a home away from home. The location is superb, the house is immersed in fields and just a 5 minute walk from the beautiful cliffs, everything is so peaceful. Service is outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to suit your needs. The entire stay will feel like you have been transported back in time, with the cozy living room and the fireplace where you can enjoy a whiskey tasting or a refreshing (local!!) g&t after a day of hikes. Rooms are spacious and absolutely beautiful, food is sublime! Cannot recommend this hotel enough, by far one of my favourites ever!!!
PS - one of the coziest beds i’ve ever slept in!

A location for myths, legends and beautiful nature.
Things to see and do:
1. Plunge your face in the water under Sligachan Bridge for a faerie blessing.
2. Hike up to the old man of Storr.
3. Go to the top of the Bride Veil's Falls and drink a sip for good luck.
4. Visit Talisker (Book months in advance for a distillery tour), but the visitor shop is worthwhile regardless - you can engrave a bottle or draw your own bottle from a cask yourself without a tour.
We spent more time in the surrounding areas than the actual town itself, special sites and nature. The town itself is good for a night or two, but I'd focus my efforts on the landscape of Skye instead of the inside of the shops of Skye.
Be sure to factor in opening times for certain restaurants. Most places have a "no booking" policy, so you can expect to stand in line when wanting to eat out at the recommended places.
Spots to eat that we tried:
- The Lower Deck Seafood (Queue 30min before opening time) located on the harbour side.
- The Isles Inn (Walk-in 30min before you're hungry) with live music almost every night around 21:00ish.
Spots for great coffee:
Talisker - just outside they have Caora Dhubh Coffee Company. Worth the coffee itself if you're after the best cup of coffee in Skye.

Portree is lovely.
Portree is lovely. We visited in early may and the crowds were mostly manageable. I would be a little concerned in the heart of the season. My suggestion to the powers that be would be to consider shuttle busses to the popular sites from centralized collection points; discourage rental cars from driving to the sites independently in some way. The small roads and on-site car parks can become overly crowded. We couldn't get near Quiraing for the traffic on the winding one lane road. In all other respects, Skye and Portree are lovely and a pleasure to visit.

I only spent one night in Portree so my judgement is limited. Even before the tourist season started, it was quite crowded. I can’t imagine what it must be like at the height of the season. Skye is lovely but expensive compared to other locations in Scotland.

Skyelight Apartment is at a great location, very near to Portree town centre, maybe 1-minute walk. Nicely furnished, warm and cozy. Note though there is no washing machine. Otherwise, a wonderful accommodation.
In a town with limited options for those who have not made dinner reservations in advance at the more high-end dine in establishments, your options are fish and chips/fried food stand take out; standing in line for an hour or more waiting for a seat at a seafood place by the harbor, cash only Indian, or convenience store food. The Royal hotel has a restaurant with good service and a decent meal especially if you are a guest staying there. It is also very centrally located to the harbor and shops in Portree.
Staff are so friendly always smiling ,happy to help and very welcoming. Food downstairs in The Antlers Restaurant is lovely and helpings are good too
.Right in the central square of Portree with shops ,chemist ,pubs, cafes ,coffee shops, post office local buses, tour buses ,taxis etc just right out the front door of the hotel or a few minutes walk If you.
*Advise you to reserve your Dinner Table when making your booking .The restaurant is popular with Islanders and Holiday makers so it can be busy.
Kisteen and Amy made us feel at home the moment we walked through the door. Stonefield House feels more like a boutique hotel than a B&B. The rooms were spotless and the bed very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent and set us up for a full day of walking. Providing a decanter of whisky for an evening tipple was a lovely touch. Stonefield House is located in a peaceful spot, but is less than a a 10 minute walk from the centre of Portree, so no problems at all with parking.
Hotel is central in Portree. Had a beautiful outdoor decked seating area overlooking the harbour. Was a lovely evening to sit and watch the world go by while having a drink.
Room looked recently refurbished. Clean and comfortable.
Staff were friendly. Thanks to the lady serving our breakfast. We took up her suggestion of visiting Neist Point. A good walk to see the lighthouse. (Not so nice back up the hill. But we were warned) 😁
We had a week long trip around Scotland and our two nights/days in Skye where definitely the highlight. The pods were just perfect: very clean, spacious and cozy, it was evident that the owners paid attention to every inch of them.
The location was great: the pods are located near Portree (10 mins), but in the fields to properly enjoy the peace of the island.
10/10 would recommend, I hope we’ll be able to visit again.
House on the Falls was the perfect peaceful place to retreat to the Isle of Skye. Donna was a wonderful host! We loved that it was a short drive to Portree, a 20-30 minute drive from most points of interest all over the island, a lovely walk along the falls directly behind the house, a cozy atmosphere in the rooms and shared spaces, with a delicious breakfasts delivered to your door, and sheep & horses to befriend!
We loved everything about this hotel! The room was gorgeous, had a warm and cozy atmosphere and had the most beautiful view. The breakfast was amazing each morning! The staff were so personable and always made us feel welcome. This was our favorite stay in Scotland for the 3 weeks that we traveled. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the Isle of Skye and will recommend to all! Thank you!
We were very lucky to book this hotel at short notice after our previous booking at another hotel was cancelled 2 days before our holiday due to COVID related staff shortages. We struck lucky, the Calendonian was a lot cheaper, in a better location in Portree centre and very comfortable. Very friendly helpful staff, superb breakfast and clean recently refurbished room.
Fantastic location, centrally located in the town of Portree and a great location to visit the points of interest all over the Isle of Skye. Nice to have the Nespresso machine. Thanks to our host to promptly responding to our questions. The host provided a detailed guide to the area prior to arriving which was very informative and helpful
Location is amazing and the views from the room where espectacular.
It is of walking distance from the town centre because Portree is small and everything is in within reach by walking distance: harbour, restaurants, hotels and bars.
Duvets are warm, you get 2 pillows per bed and matresses were comfortable enough to get a good rest.
The location is great with Portree Harbour only an 8 minute walk away and a lot of visitor attractions within 30 minute drive. The property itself is spacious and a really high standard as well as having everything you would need in the kitchen. If I was heading to Skye again I would definitely book here.
Trotternish B&B was the highlight of our B&B experiences in Scotland. Beautiful scenery, lovely & spacious rooms, welcoming and charming hosts, truly amazing food and service. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay on the Isle of Skye. Thank you for making this such a great stay for all of us!!
Room was spacious, quiet, very clean, with a very nice, comfortable bed. Good-working smart TV, Breakfast was fabulous and we were grateful for getting it in the room, until 10:00 am. Staff were great too. All in all a very nice experience in a hotel in a quiet location in Portree.
Mery and Les were very good hosts, they gave us tips to access Portree, where to have the best ice-cream and which places to explore in Skye.
We were also very satisfied with our breakfast, and we had our first tattie scone in Scotland and it was delicious.
The hotel is a bit out of Portree but, it is well worth the 10 minute drive to stay here. The grounds are beautiful, the food was wonderful and the staff was incredible. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and welcoming experience.
I loved that it was centrally located in Portree. I loved that I could make a res for supper and breakfast. The food was phenomenal and the staff was welcoming and kind. The entire hotel was beautiful!
The location was brilliant. Portree is the centre of activities in Skye and hotel in a beautiful location in Portree overlooking the harbour. A good range of food for breakfast.
Great hotel 10mins walk from the centre of Portree. Comfortable and fairly modern room considering it is Skye. The room is quite small, but absolutely fine for a night or two.
