Greshornish House Hotel -
Greshornish House occupies a secluded loch side site, surrounded by 10 acres of gardens and wooded grounds, between Portree and Dunvegan Castle. The oldest part of the house was built c.1740, but Dr Johnson, in 1773, deemed the accommodation unsuitable at that time. How things change! By the mid-19th century, the house was the home of Kenneth Macleod, a wealthy and influential landlord who cared deeply about the welfare of his cotters and did much to improve the comfort of his home. This 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 offers excellent food and is an ideal place from which to enjoy the peace, tranquillity and gentle pace of island life, and from which to explore the whole island.
