Disappointed with room

Disappointed to find our “non-king” bed we reserved and paid for was in fact a queen bed. Pricey hotel and very small room and bathroom.

The staff at this hotel is super nice. Everything was great, dinner was delicious. Rooms are very small and there was no air so got very warm. Breakfast was very good and again the staff is what makes this hotel worth visiting

10/10 Exceptional

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! It’s super beautiful with historical charm and elegance. We sat by the fireplace with a delicious old fashioned after a long day of traveling. The dinner we had was phenomenal!!! I ordered the Cullen skink which is now a new favorite - it was out of this world good! My partner had the monkfish which was also just as delicious. The staff were all super friendly and helpful making for a lovely holiday for us. Our room also had a cute outdoor balcony (1st floor) where we could sit outside with a coffee in the morning and see a nice view of the loch. All in all we loved our stay and would definitely be back!

10/10 Exceptional

The Skeabost House Hotel was an absolute dream stay. It used to be an old hunting lodge and the wood trim is intricately carved all throughout the hotel. The service was top notch and they always went above and beyond for us and the other guests. We had the best dinner there and the most delicious breakfasts that I’m still craving everyday since. It is set in a peaceful and serene location and is very easy to find while traveling . We can’t wait to go back !

8/10 Very good

For the amount we paid for this room, it should have been larger and more accommodating. The room and the bathroom were very very small and for the amount we paid for it, not worth it. I have to say the sheets on the bed were the best ! Really nice! The staff were very pleasant and more than met our needs. This was our 50th wedding anniversary and they kindly brought us a glass of Prosecco.

6/10 Good

I was disappointed in my stay since it was very pricy and the hotel was not what I expected for what I paid. The property itself has charm, is near a pretty river and the lounge room was nice. I also enjoyed the breakfast and Sue was a lovely waitress. However, a lot of the hotel seemed old and outdated. There was a strong musty odor in our room and opening the windows invited bugs so it was a challenge dealing with that. I hoped to fish on the river but the advertised fishing was unguided and overpriced. It did not feel like a four star hotel and I would recommend it only if the price was adjusted for what is actually offered.
Lisa Singh, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Almost $800 US per night for a VERY TINY room with view of the water. Poor baggage assistance from the young porter with a beard. We are seniors and had 2 heavy bags, a smaller carry on bag, and a golf bag because we were at the tail end of a 3 week golfing and hiking trip, and we had a lot of gear. He chose to carry the smallest bag. There was also no wheeled baggage cart to assist us. Then when we got to our room, he hastily gave us our 2 room keys, but did not explain how to lock the door to the back sitting area, which required us to tilt the handle up first before locking. We spent some time trying to figure that out, and then the room next to us had the same problem. He was not welcoming and was not the first impression we wanted of this hotel. He was on his cell phone a lot during our stay. However, the older gentleman at the front desk and all of the female staff members were wonderful!!
Roschelle, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lies and deception make for a bad stay

Well let's see... We checked in at 5:45PM. We got to our room, and the only window faced the parking lot so we had no privacy. Next, I stepped into the bathroom and it was Africa hot in there. There was a radiant heat towel rack that was fully on and the knob to control it was lying on the floor broken off the valve. We called the front desk and they said they would get maintenance on it. We have reserved a table in the restaurant because we had heard about this great view overlooking a loch. Instead, we were seated on the opposite side of the restaurant facing the car park. We asked during dinner if maintenance was addressing our room, and we were told that it was being taken care of. After dinner we were sitting and relaxing in the drawing room, and the front desk person came up to us and told us that maintenance had gone home for the day and our bathroom had not been fixed. We were then told if we had reported the problem before 5PM that maintenance would have been able to address it, but we reminded them that we arrived at 5:45 so there was no way from us to do that. We ten asked why we were told maintenance would fix the problem if they had already gone home, and were told "We don't know." They offered to move us to a different room, but by then it was 10:30PM. We had to pack up and move rooms while everyone else is sleeping. The whole experience was very disappointing and the worst stay of our trip.

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful, attentive staff! Terrific location. Excellent restaurant & cozy bar. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Just lovely!
Shelby, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a Deluxe room with a phenomenal view of the loch. Room was quiet & well-kept with a comfortable bed. The hotel is a really great location, just 10 minute drive outside Portree. Staff was service-oriented & very friendly. We ate at the on-site restaurant every night b/c everything was delicious! Breakfast was also very good as well. The only negative was housekeeping... they did not do a very good job of tidying our room & we had run out of toilet paper that was not replaced... it was not enough to deduct a star, but worth mentioning.
Annie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Cost definitely did not match expectation

Probably great back in the day. We found it quite dated and sad. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very good. Room was small. Bathroom tiny. Toilet paper sat on small counter (no holder!). Definitely not worth the price paid.

Zoraya, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nous avons séjourné trois nuits dans cet hôtel et avons été malheureusement déçus du rapport qualité-prix. À plus de 700 francs la nuit, nous nous attendions à un niveau de confort nettement supérieur. La chambre était très petite et la salle de bain mal pensée : aucun support pour le papier toilette, simplement posé sur un meuble… ce qui n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur d’un établissement 4 étoiles. Cela dit, nous tenons à souligner la gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel, ainsi que la qualité du petit-déjeuner, varié et complet. Nous avons dîné une fois au restaurant de l’hôtel : repas décevant et service peu agréable ce soir-là. Les environs sont jolis, surtout par beau temps, et offrent un cadre reposant. Mais globalement, l’expérience ne justifie pas le prix demandé.
