Skeabost House Hotel - Isle of Skye | Scotland
Our 18 bedroom Skeabost is situated in 23 acres of woodland on the edge of a loch, with views out to sea and crofting hamlets. It is the only hotel on Skye with its golf course – a nine-hole 18 tee shoreline challenge. The fast flowing River Snizort which runs through the grounds provides excellent salmon and trout fishing.
Our Ghillie Danny organised a low key opening of the fishing season on the River Snizort on Feb 11th.
In line with Scottish Government restrictions on 4th January we are currently closed but busy ensuring that when we reopen our doors, you’ll receive the best possible experience — this is our top priority. We are still on hand daily to swiftly answer your enquiries and will update you on our opening date very soon.
Team at Sonas Collection
Steeped in history, Skeabost is the third and latest addition to the group. Located centrally on the Isle of Skye, the 18 bedroom House is the only hotel on Skye with its own golf course – a nine-hole, shoreline challenge. The fast flowing River Snizort which runs through the grounds provides excellent salmon and trout fishing. The current building began life as a hunting lodge in 1871. It came into ownership of the Sonas Collection in 2015, and has been extensively refurbished. The renovation has artistically blended original features with contemporary furniture and fabrics, including tweeds in eye-catching colours, to create an enchanting ambience which oozes luxury, style and Victorian grandeur. Public areas provide surroundings to match any occasion, from sitting by the fire in the drawing room, reading a novel in the bright morning room, to dining in the award-winning restaurants.

The current building began life as a hunting lodge in 1871, but there has been a home of some sort at Skeabost since Viking times when the name meant The Sheltered House. On an island in the river are the ruins of two small chapels associated with St Columba – the first Christian missionary to Scotland. Skeabost has its own chapel, now a stunning private dining room.
The golf course is fun for the novice or expert alike and clubs are available for hire. The Snizort, one of the best rivers in Skye for sea trout and salmon, is open to guests and non-residents throughout the year (weather permitting), with the services of a ghillie if required.
Located seven miles from the main town of Portree, Skeabost is also ideally situated as a base for exploring an island regularly voted one of the most fascinating in the world. Management and staff enthusiastically share their local knowledge.
