Hotel muy bonito rodeado de hermosas vistas
Pros:

El hotel es de época, el restaurante y las habitaciones al lado del lago tienen una vista preciosa al lago y al verde. El personal es tan amoroso y agradable como en pocos hoteles he visto. El desayuno es realmente estupendo.

Cons:

Las habitaciones son bastante chicas, lo mismo los baños, el precio es un poco elevado para el tipo de habitaciones que tiene.

Beautiful hotel with an excellent location
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Skeabost! The hotel is historic and beautiful. The staff is excellent and helped make our trip even better.
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean as well as modern.
Breakfast was delicious and we ate dinner one night at the hotel and had excellent food. You must have the coconut ice cream with chocolate three ways at least once!
The bar is welcoming and the staff are genuinely interested in their guests.

Kind of nice but expensive
Pros:

Stunning estate, with a stunning mansion overlooking a Loch. Unfortunately no real walking paths .. nothing around immediately…rooms are comfy but small. Restaurant attached is good but nothing exceptional. Value for money very arguable.

A lovely stay by the seaside
Pros:

I enjoyed strolling along the quiet shoreline. Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were comfortable and pleasant. It was a memorable stay. The location was convenient for visiting the Old Man of Storr and Neist Point on the Isle of Skye.

Lovely and quaint. Would come here again!
Pros:

Amazing property! Very quaint and picturesque with a very friendly staff. Excellent chef - some of the best meals we had in Scotland d.

Cons:

A little far from main town- you need a car or taxi to get to the property. But that’s all Isle of Skye!

Avoid at all costs, dirty, run down, overpriced
Cons:

Complete disappointment. Booked this as a special “splurge” getaway with my family expecting gorgeous old building with charm tucked away in the Scottish highlands. Staff was disorganized, the building and room was very run down. Worn carpets, stains, dirty shower, and water damage around the bedroom window. The view from our room was facing a shed with people walking by so there was zero privacy and just an ugly building to look at. The breakfast was disappointing with small portions of tasteless pancakes and a spongy smoked salmon.
We are extremely disappointed especially given the very high price tag compared to similar locations around. Avoid the “West Pier” restaurant inside the hotel at all costs. The food was stale and just gross. When we mentioned it to the waitress we were told the gnocchi was from yesterday and they actually ran out of the offered whipped garlic butter and homemade grain bread and instead had given us margarine and white bread loaf. No effort was made to correct this or apologize for the bad food.
Save your money, no redeeming qualities. Not worth the drive.

Edit in response to management: Our room #3 was on the second floor at the top of the stairs, with a view over a shed and a walking path with guests walking by. As far as denying the stains, water damage, and dirty carpets, all you have to do is look at the photos I took of our room and that is proof enough. There are plenty of bad reviews, and I only wished I had believed them before I booked this nightmare hotel.

Beatiful Location - Full of Character
Pros:

Set in a beautiful location, Skeabost house Hotel has really friendly and helpful staff. The service can be slightly erratic on occasion but the food is quite tasty, if not terribly adventurous. Locared about 15 mins to the north of Portree on one of the islands better roads (apart from the potholes). Our room had a loch view with a terrace which we loved. Good quality toiletries and overall a nicely appointed room. The hotel reception recommended that we try out the fine dinining restaurant at the nearby Edinbane Lodge on the second night of our stay. We were simply blown away by the whole experience. Not just the best meal of of our holiday, the best ever!. Breakfast at the Skeabost was hearty with plenty of choice. All in all, a very nice stay and recommended
