Duisdale House
A grand vctorian house standing amidst its own landscaped gardens on the hillside in Sleat overlooking the sea in the breathtakingly beautiful Isle of Skye. The Hotel has been painstakingly refurbished to luxury 4-star status in recent year and is a multi-award winning 18 room hotel and restaurant having just been awarded a coveted Thistle Award for Best Hotel 2013 as well as Best Small Luxury Hotel from Luxury Hotel Awards 2012.
Toravaig House
Leave the stresses and strains of modern life far behind when you stay at Toravaig House. The hotel is also located in Sleat also known as The Garden of Skye due to the quality of scenery in the area. The hotel has two AA rosettes for our cuisine and has been the worthy winner of multiple awards over recent years. Stay in one of our individually designed nine bedrooms then enjoy a top malt whisky beside a crackling fire and look out over the loch to the hills beyond whilst our chef prepares the best meal you will ever have experienced. When you are looking for comfort in an unspoiled location, head for Toravaig House on the Isle of Skye.
Skeabost House
Lovingly restored and stunningly refurbished, this iconic hotel is an idyllic retreat in a jaw-dropping location on one of the world’s favourite islands. Steeped in history, Skeabost is the third and latest in the small group of boutique hotels owned and run by Anne and Ken Gunn whose accolades include Scottish Hoteliers of the Year and a Gold Laurel as two of Scotland’s ‘most visionary entrepreneurs.’
It is the only hotel on Skye with its own golf course - a nine hole, 18 tee shoreline challenge. The fast flowing River Snizort which runs through the grounds provides excellent salmon and trout fishing. The 18 bedroom Skeabost, acquired by Anne and Ken in 2015, is situated in 23 acres of woodland on the edge of a loch, with views out to sea and crofting hamlets. Located seven miles from the main town of Portree, Skeabost is also ideally situated as a base for exploring an island regularly voted one of the most fascinating in the world. Management and staff enthusiastically share their local knowledge.
