I felt I should submit a review after seeing some of the recent negative comments. I stayed for three nights in late April with my wife and a friend and all had a great time from start to finish. The staff were only too happy to help with any requests (Catriona in particular seemed to be constantly on the go... More

Having just returned from a four night stay at Skeabost, our second this year, we find some of the recent comments on this site not reflective of our experience. Without doubt there are parts of the hotel that are tired and in need of investment/improvement, though a part-time maintenance person could probably resolve many of the issues. It is true... More

This Victorian country house hotel is in a beautiful setting by a sea loch with a small golf course and the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is nicely presented and good. The public room decor is grand but needing refreshed and rather dingy and impersonal. Our bedroom (standard double) was in a flat roofed extension and smelt very... More

As General Manager here at Skeabost Country House Hotel I do apologise that you did not enjoy your stay. I have to explain to users that there is an on-going refurbishment programme and the progress may be slower than first anticipated due to the current financial climate. Oxford Hotels and Inns unfortunately inherited a portfolio of properties that require considerable... More

My fiance and i stayed here for 1 night as we moved onto Harris the next morning. We booked online at £80 a night for bed and breakfast. The hotel looked fantastic online and sounded perfect. The instant image of the hotel is very lovely and it is set in a lovely location on the water. The staff member on... More

As General Manager here at Skeabost Country House Hotel I do apologise that you did not enjoy your stay. As the season has started and the hotel is getting busier we would never have only one staff member on. There is always at least two staff on at any one time. The room doesn’t have a view but if you... More

Stayed two nights and had a room in the annexe which looked promising on first sight. Like many other reviews here, on settling in we found: the radiator in the bathroom lose and rattling, the toilet squeezed into the side such that you were almost touching the wall, a lack of sufficiently hot water and heating, the fan triggered by...

After investigating your comments about the staff and with your room I have the following reply. All the staff here at Skeabost is what makes the hotel so different and special from others. We all go out of our way too make sure our guests are happy and enjoy their stay, nothing is too much hassle, as previous reviews show.... More

We stayed at the Skeabost last month for three nights during a magical stay in the Isle of Skye. After a minor hiccup on arrival we were upgraded to a fantastic room. "Beaudica" I think it was called. Four poster bed and a huge bathroom with twin sinks and a stand alone bath. There are lots of pictures of the... More

I hope you are not unlucky and end up in room1 as we did.A small room with a miss match of furniture and a window with whitened glass in the bottom to obscure the view of rusty pipes and a scruffy gable end. Whatever happened to the beautiful Scottish loch views? My husband did ask for a room upgrade -... More

Thank you for uploading your comments on trip advisor. While we appreciate you comments on the views a request should have been made while booking as not all our rooms have views. We always ask for requests and we do our best to follow them. As you said you did ask to upgrade when you arrived however we were fully... More

Lovely old building from the outside, some nice features inside - Panelled Dining Room, Reception Area, Biliard Room t name a few. However, and here comes the shabby part of the review, although the rooms are tastefully decorated and very clean they are in dire need of some TLC, the curtains were beautiful heavy drapes but torn, where old televisions...

Skeabost House Hotel is a place I associate with happy memories - for many years, I would visit every Sunday for splendid Sunday lunches. I was hoping I would have similar good experiences during my recent 1 night stay. Unfortunately, the whole experience was very average. Room was ok but with a view of a wall - I was offered... More
