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.

The room was ENORMOUS - not kidding, about 40 feet long - and also included a king-sized bed. It was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was pretty good, with a great harbour view. It was a pleasant stay, but the price was laughably high for what you get.
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...

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...
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.
I loved everything about this house! It was the favorite place to stay during our stay in Scotland. It was very close to the town of Portree. Very close to the sights we wanted to see in Isle of Skye. The beds were comfy. The living area accommodated all five of us when we needed to relax from our hiking. The kitchen was perfect for us. We even walked the neighborhood and found the neighbors to be friendly to us. My husband said he was beyond pleased with this house.
To start with communication with the Royal was excellent. They answered every questions promptly and even made dinner reservations for us. Breakfast was superb. We also ate at the restaurant one night and it was really good. Our room had a wonderful view of the harbour. Cannot beat the location. This is not a fancy hotel by any mean but the room was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely book this hotel for our next visit to Skye
Creagory Skye is just a lovely, warm and comfortable B&B that I would recommend to anyone staying in Portree. Our hosts were exceptional, friendly and the breakfast was fantastic...a true home-cooked meal. The location was very quiet and the beds extremely comfortable. This little lodge felt like a home away from home - we had a wonderful stay. Next time we visit the Isle of Skye, we will absolutely be staying at Creagory Skye again!
Fantastic stay here. Very friendly, accomodating owners. The room had everything we needed and was very clean and spacious.
The B&B is in a great location, with incredible views from the room. Only 15 mins walk to Portree Harbour and a good base for exploring Skye.
Breakfast was great with good selection to choose from and was nice being delivered straight to the room.
Will definitely stay here again when next in Skye!
Great location in Portree. All the staff were really nice. They hold back tables in the restaurant for hotel guests so if the restaurant is booked online, just email the hotel, as I did, and they got us a reservation. Food was excellent as was the service. Rooms were spacious and cozy. Its an old hotel with all the charm but has upgraded bathrooms, etc. Good choice all around.
We spent 4 nights here for our Skye trip and everything was absolutely perfect! We really appreciated the milk, eggs, bread, cheese and all the other goodies to start us off before going to the grocery store. Bed was the comfiest out of all the other places we stayed in Scotland. The Isle of Skye was so magical, we hope to come back and wouldn’t hesitate to book here again!
The location was perfect for exploring the Isle of Skye. The view out the front of the property was amazing. Convenient to Portree for meals and shopping. The lodging was very clean, modern with a pleasant decor. Good wifi. Many nice treats provided for our enjoyment for breakfasts and afternoon teas We appreciated the nice shower with a heated towel rack.
The location within Portree was incredibly convenient & walkable. The Skye Inn was quaint & cozy and met all of our needs. The full Scottish breakfast was delicious and on site bar was an added bonus!
The private parking was close & all rooms are on ground level so no stairs were involved. It was a lovely stay for a 1 night passing through The Isle of Skye!
The location was excellent, right at the center of Portree. The room was extremely cozy and had amazing views. We were surprised with how close we were from all the amenities of the town, from the supermarket, pharmacy, local pubs, restaurants, everything very very close by. From the hotel we were also able to very easily travel all around the Isle of Skye.
The quality of the food is superb. The hotel is beautifully furnished and offers fabulous views of Portree and the surrounding landscape.
The pods were spotlessly clean, cosy and very well appointed. We visited the sauna and plunge pool which was relaxing and invigorating.
The bar is beautiful and offers a fine range of whiskies
The location of the hotel was really great, in the iconic Portree Harbour. The staff was really helpful, the room was cozy and clean.
The hotel itself doesn't have parking, but it's easy to park in the streets around or in the village square.
Breakfast was superb, with so much choice and amazing harbour views.
Staff was very kind and helpful. The athmosphere was very authentic and pleasant and it really added to our overall experience of being in Scotland. This is a highly recommendable hotel for anyone visiting Isle of Skye!
This is a great location for exploring Portree. The staff were so pleasant and gave us suggestions for things to see in town. We were able to park behind the hotel which made offloading luggage very easy.
Portree was the best location on our trip through all of Scotland. We had the best hikes imaginable.
The hotel offered the best location for overall access to the city as well as on site parking.
Historic hotel in the heart of a Portree. Friendly staff. Restaurant and bar. Small private parking lot across the road. Reasonable price including breakfast. Water views from streetside rooms.
Nice view of horses in field from window.
Able to use breakfast room to eat in the evening. Hotels in Portree are all fully booked or have long waiting times.
Our room was so comfortable. The dining room had an amazing view of Portree and the food was delicious. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Skye.
You really had the feeling of living on the Isle of Skye rather than staying in an old hotel in town. The staff were absolutely great and very helpful.
