Welcome

To Greshornish House, a very special place on the Isle of Skye - more a home from home than a hotel - an ideal place to unwind as you please and to enjoy the peace, tranquillity and gentle pace of island life.

Greshornish House, on a secluded loch-side site, is surrounded by 10 acres of its own gardens and wooded grounds amongst the spectacular scenery between Portree and Dunvegan Castle. Dr Johnson, travelling through Skye in 1773, did not deem the house, which dates from c.1740, suitable accommodation. But how things have changed! In the mid-19th century, Greshornish was the home of Kenneth Macleod, a wealthy and influential landlord who did much to improve its comfort. The house was fondly remembered a century later by Otta Swire as, "a typical Skye manor house: low and white, well guarded from storms by a belt of thick trees, its front door is always open as is the hospitable tradition of the island, ... and the view from its windows are unsurpassed. It is also properly furnished with a haunted room and a ghost".

Today, Greshornish House is a happy and comfortable home offering excellent food and an ideal place from which to explore the whole island.

Greshornish House has been nominated as finalist in the Most Excellent Waterside Hotel category in the Condé Nast Johansens 26th Annual Awards for Excellence, and specially commended as "Good for the Soul" in the Hotel Review Scotland awards.

A wise man once said: "Skye is not a place, but an intoxication".
