What Makes Edinbane Inn One of the Best Hotels on Skye?
Featured in National Geographic as one of the best pubs in the UK for a winter’s evening. Because it doesn’t try to be. No spa. No infinity pool. But the rooms are pristine, the food is a favourite with locals, and the welcome is warm. And in the end, it’s the simple things that make our inn stand out.
- What You'll FInd
Pub Restaurant on Skye That Locals Actually Recommend

Bake our own bread. People from Portree drive up just for Sunday lunch. And yes, you’re are best to book ahead. We’re also the only inn on Skye serving food all day in summer.
Skye Hotel with Plenty Going on
Sky Sports shown in the bar, regular theme nights. Locals pop in for a pint, visitors settle in for the night. It’s that rare mix: genuine atmosphere, good music, great food, and a calendar that keeps things lively without ever feeling crowded.
