Set in a converted cluster of fisherman’s houses along Portree Harbor the hotel offers plenty of character and quirks. There are 17 bedrooms with attached bathroom with all expected facilities.

Great location right by the Portree bay, the staff was very nice and welcoming. Nice bright room overlooking the bay.
If you are looking for luxury accommodations 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...

The property is beautiful in what feels like the middle of nowhere. The weather was wonderful for our 3 nights stay. We were up late with the amount of sunlight we had and enjoyed beautiful sunsets walking about the property.

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.
The property is located conveniently in the heart of Portree. We ate dinner at the restaurant the first night and it was amazing (I had the pork belly dish). On Tuesday evenings at 8:00 pm, the local bag pipers play outside the hotel - which adds to the charm of this hotel. Parking is a bit challenge (especially when carrying big bags) - the best place is behind the yellow painted hostel (about £4 for 24 hours). Our room was on the 3rd floor - which there is no lifts, so carrying those heavy bags to the room was a workout!
Location to the harbor. We were appreciative that the rooms had bathtubs and plenty of light. Many of the rooms we stayed in in Scotland were very dark. Because you have to use a hairdryer outside of the bathroom, when the rooms are dark you have little illumination for grooming. This hotel was nice and bright and we appreciated it.
Also, we are very glad they had a small car park for guest. Portree was crazy to drive through and parking was very challenging. Other than bars and restaurants, the town shuts down by 5 PM.
Fantastic location, right in the centre of Portree near the harbour and bars/restaurants. The apartment was clean and comfortable, great to have use of the washing machine (and powder left for us) as we had a few mucky items from our day trips. Spacious double bedroom, corner sofa which pulls out into a large sofa bed. It was perfect for the dogs too as we didn't want to take them to a hotel. It's usually alot more expensive to find dog friendly accommodation but the price for this apartment was very reasonable.
A lovely hotel, one of the best we have stayed so far, The breakfast was fabulous, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The guy at reception went out of his way to find information for us. We had a family room and a double for the 5 of us which which were very comfortable and well serviced. We had no problems with parking. The hotel conveniently situated within waking distance to Portree town. The hotel is highly recommended. Isle of Skye is beautiful, a pity our stay was all too short.
Lovely friendly welcome awaited us at the Creagory in Portree. The room was lovely at the back of the house, very quiet and spotless.
Great selection for breakfast and tasty!! Selection offered would put some large hotels to shame.
Slept like a log both nights we stayed bed very comfy but must have been that fresh Highland air. We were at an music festival in the centre of Portree and the Creagory was ideally placed as only ten minute walk from the front.
Would definitely recommend and stay again.
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.
Staff were excellent, very friendly at both the reception and serving breakfast. Had some good tips about where to visit in Isle of Skye.
Rooms were clean (I was a bit hesitant as the hotel allows dogs but no dirt in the room!)
Big bathroom
Great location in Portree, on-site parking is very handy.
I like the interior design and viking-esque dining room, nice place to have breakfast.
Breakfast was great, no issues, great service
I would definitely stay here again!
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.
The location of the hotel was perfect, being right on the harbour front and having scenic views throughout the Portree bay. The staff at the hotel reception (Rosedale Hotel) were incredibly friendly and also helped with recommendations for the surrounding area. The accessibility for Wi-Fi and TV in the room was very nice to have and only added to the comfort of the stay.
Wonderful family cottage near Portree; surrounded by nature. The room is superb. Everything well thought out in the smallest details. Homemade and well made breakfast. The hostess Georgia was extremely friendly and helpful. There would not be a better option. Place to park in the house and free of charge. Superior to many 4 and 5 star hotels I have stayed in Scotland.
We have been travelling and overnighting in Scotland for just over a week staying in very good locations and accommodations.
In addition to the beauty of the Isle of Skye Portree Guest House has been our favourite - Mike made us feel so welcome and is an amazing host. We loved our stay there - would definitely recommend.........and breakfast was just the best!
This is a very comfortable hotel is great location overlooking the harbour of Portree. Wonderful views of the nearby mountains. A good base to explore this wonderful island. The room and facilities were excellent. The staff professional, accommodating and very friendly. The food was of a very good standard and there was a good choice of wines.
There was a lot of plus points about this hotel and our stay was perfectly adequate and in an especially good location. Comfortable beds, nice view over the harbour. Good breakfast and really pleasant lady waiting tables. Given the high cost of some hotels in Skye, this one was better value for money.
We loved our stay here! The food is excellent, the room was clean and spacious for our needs (2 adults), and the view from the hotel and front lawn is incredible. We'd highly recommend staying here if you're exploring Portree or the Isle of Skye!
It was such a great experience being on a farm for two days! The view was breathtaking. Easy in and out of Portree center. What a great way to be immersed in the beauty of the Isle of Skye.
This well appointed bed and breakfast is a treasure in the Isle of Skyes remote Trotternish peninsula. High quality bedding, towels, food and furnishings plus a knowledgeable local owner
Beautiful new hotel, price on the higher side vs what you can get in the island, like Edinbane Inn or Three Chinneys. It should have been 30% cheaper for it to be value for money.
The location of the hotel was superb....probably the best in Portree. It was also close to restaurants and a small supermarket. The staff were very pleasant and helpful
