We had a great three night stay at Greshornish House a bit over a week ago. The accommodations were so comfortable and well appointed, the house itself in a quiet, beautiful location. Breakfast and dinner was delicious each day. We were traveling with our dog and they welcomed her like an honored guest. Highly recommended.

Incredible location, staff, drinks, grounds. Great that they are dog friendly. We were struck by the character of the building. Those who are looking for a quintessential Scottish stay in a wild location looks no further. An idea to make this an even more cool place to stay would be a wood fired sauna... Just an idea!

This is a stunning hotel with cracking views of the hills and loch, food was excellent but the only downside was the wine was out of our price range however i would definitely stay again regardless. There was a nice log fire burning when we arrived in the lounge, our room and facilities were just splendid, can't comment on the breakfast because we didn't want to get out of such a nice bed.

We stayed here for a night on our honeymoon on a whim as we were dining at the nearby Loch Bay restaurant, but we were surprised at how lovely this hotel was. The staff had upgraded us to the Rum room at no charge - despite not knowing it was our honeymoon - which was extremely kind. The room was large and well decorated, and very clean. The en-suite bathroom was also clean with a spacious shower and a free standing bath. We particularly enjoyed the sitting room downstairs which was cosy with a wood/coal fire and comfy leather sofas. We had a drink there and I think could have stayed the whole evening if we didn’t have dinner plans. The staff were very friendly and warm. We would love to stay here again!

Greshornish House was absolutely stunning. Driving up to it but like a scene from a movie as it’s nestled in the countryside of Isle sky far removed from busy city life our way in we encountered roadblocks of sheep as we made our way down the road. The hotel looks out to a beautiful loch. The staff was incredibly friendly inside. There are two parlors with roaring fires where you can play games talk with your friends or read a book. Their service was excellent and I highly recommend having dinner on the property. There was only one thing that I could critique, and that was the plumbing in our room. The toilet pressure was not very strong. Other than that, I would happily stay there again.

We LOVED our stay at Greshornish House Hotel! First off, the location was great! It was more on the remote side, but that was a huge part of its charm! It was so nice after a day of exploring Isle of Skye to drive down the road back to our charming home away from home. It was so peaceful and relaxing! Also, the staff was amazing. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. And the restaurant on site was delicious, you must eat there at least one night! We also loved grabbing a drink and sitting by the fire after dinner, recounting the day. Greshornish House Hotel was one of our favorite places we stayed the whole trip. We would highly recommend it!!!

Greshornish house it’s quite an experience. It’s an uncomfortable road to get there, so make sure you arrive before nightfall. It’s a very old property that has been somewhat renovated. The rooms are small and the layout is awkward. The bathrooms are a little more up to date. Having said that, the property sits on beautiful grounds. It has very pretty views, great for pictures. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Connor was specially attentive. Our dinner was delicious as was our breakfast. Not exactly what we were expecting, but definitely worth the drive because it made for an unforgettable experience.
