The Spotlight on Skeabost House Hotel

Highland Luxury Meets Musical Adventure on the Isle of Skye

Nestled just 10 minutes from Portree, Skeabost House Hotel is a stunning whitewashed Victorian mansion offering boutique luxury and Highland hospitality. Set in private grounds with sweeping views over Loch Snizort, this family-owned gem is part of the Sonas Hotel Collection. The vibe is elegant, cozy, and unmistakably Scottish — the perfect retreat after a day of concerts and island exploration.

Why Concert-goers love it

Though Skye isn’t known for mega arenas, Skeabost House Hotel is a top pick for fans attending intimate gigs and cultural festivals around Portree. It’s close to the action but far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. With late check-in from 15:00 and a welcoming lounge with open fires, you can arrive post-show and still unwind in comfort. The hotel’s serene setting makes it a favorite for those looking to recharge after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends seeking an upscale yet relaxed base
- Solo travelers chasing live folk sessions or acoustic sets
- Couples making a romantic weekend of it
- Fans who prefer a quiet, scenic post-gig recovery
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking for occasional splurge stays

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s West Pier Restaurant serves up island cuisine with locally sourced ingredients — perfect for pre-show dinners. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, guests rave about the homemade afternoon tea and relaxing in the lounge with a drink by the fire. Breakfast is available for those who hit the snooze button after a late night, and Portree’s eateries are a short drive away for other options.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a DJ set on-site, but the cocktail bar offers a great selection of local malts and craft drinks — ideal for a nightcap. Portree’s pubs and live music spots are nearby, giving guests a mix of cozy and lively options. And if peace and quiet is your post-gig vibe, the lochside sunsets from the patio are hard to beat.

What People Say

Guests love the tranquil setting, luxury finishings, and warm hospitality. Many highlight the beautiful views, elegant décor, and delicious food. The staff often receive praise for their friendliness and attention to detail, and the historic charm of the building adds to the experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the Wi-Fi can be patchy in certain parts of the hotel — it’s Skye, after all! Also, while it’s close to Portree, you’ll need a car or taxi to get to venues — not a deal-breaker, but worth planning ahead.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a peaceful, luxurious base with Highland charm and lochside views, Skeabost House Hotel delivers a unique blend of style, comfort, and local flavor.

Good

Liked: The manager who helped us solved a real issue for us in room selection. Without his help, the hotel would have been a disappointment. He listened to our concerns and worked hard to solve them. He made our stay a very positive experience.The location was good but quite isolated. It worked for us to get to various sites we were interested in. Not great if you want to be able to walk to bars or restaurants.
Disliked: The restaurant was good. The price was a bit high. I think the amount we paid for the room was high. However, I'm not sure that was't because we booked relatively late.

Liked: A wonderful location and setting for this magnificent hotel. We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed attentive service during our stay. Our room was lovely, with its own balcony overlooking the river at the end of a beautifully kept lawn, affording us a stunning view at sunset. We enjoyed a beautiful meal in the restaurant, again with a lovely view over the grounds to the water. Likewise, breakfast was a lovely affair with a great selection of items, all prepared and cooked to perfection.

Disliked: The interior was a bit dated and it looked like an old golf course hotel. The price of the room was expensive for one night
