Isle of Skye’s Skeabost Country House Hotel, a 14-bedroom hotel with 23 acres of own ground and the home to one of the island’s two golf courses, is set to change hands. Selling agent Colliers International is inviting offers around £650,000 for the property, which was originally built for the MacDonalds as a Victorian hunting lodge.
Located on the edge of Loch Snizort, a few minutes from Portree, the largest town on the Inner Hebrides island, the Skeabost Country House Hotel has earned a reputation as a popular leisure destination. Its golf course, with natural features and hazards, has nine holes and 14 tees, providing plenty of variation for an 18-hole game, and the hotel also owns fishing rights on an eight-mile stretch of the River Snizort and netting rights on Loch Snizort.
The property, which was built in the 1870s, benefits from contemporary additions, such as a conservatory restaurant seating 80 guests; a bistro café; two lounges and two bars, as well as a billiard room. These are complemented by staff accommodation, including a separate bungalow. Buildings to the rear of the property, close to Loch Snizort, offer additional opportunities for development.
Alistair Letham, a director with selling agent Colliers International, said: “Skeabost Country House Hotel is an ideal business for resident proprietors to take on the challenge of this already well-established hotel. The property is everything that you would expect of a Scottish Victorian country house hotel, built in the late 19th century, and still exudes the graciousness of Victorian splendour, along with a relaxing appeal. Owned by London-based private investors since 2006, Skeabost has been run entirely under management in the intervening period and has enjoyed excellent turnover. The new owner has the opportunity to create a truly high quality leisure destination utilising fully not only what is already on offer with Skeabost but also the delights of the Isle of Skye.”
Colliers International is inviting offers around £650,000.
