As the owner of Sonas Hotel Collection, Anne Gracie Gunn has always been passionate about creating warm, welcoming spaces that celebrate the beauty and charm of Scotland.
‘Hospitality has been in my heart for as long as I can remember, and I take great pride in offering guests a truly personal experience across our four boutique hotels: Skeabost House, Duisdale House, Toravaig House on all on the Isle of Skye, and Knipoch House Hotel near Oban. With a background deeply rooted in the hospitality industry, I’ve always believed that a hotel should feel like a home away from home – where guests arrive as strangers and leave as friends. Each of our hotels reflects this ethos, blending elegant comfort with genuine Highland hospitality.
Sonas means happiness, so whether it’s a romantic escape, a family celebration, a dream wedding or an adventure amongst Scotland’s breathtaking landscapes, our dedicated team is committed to ensuring every guest experiences the magic of Sonas”.

Skeabost – A historic Scottish gem
A historic Highland country house with a rich and fascinating past. Originally a Victorian hunting lodge, it has stood on the banks of Loch Snizort for over 150 years, beside one of the best salmon fishing rivers on the island. From classic afternoon teas by the fire to West Pier Restaurant’s unmissable dishes and delectable private dining in the Billiard Room, makes eating out at Skeabost an experience in itself.
Duisdale House Hotel
Perched on Skye’s stunning Sleat Peninsula, Duisdale is a charming Victorian mansion offering a blend of elegance and island warmth. Surrounded by lush gardens, this boutique retreat is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service. Thoughtfully designed rooms, the inviting ‘Chartroom’ lounge with a crackling fire, and an intimate 2 AA Rosette restaurant make Duisdale a perfect Highland escape. There are stylish rooms, luxurious lodges, a master suite and a garden cottage for a little extra space – each one with plenty of special touches. The relaxing hot tub and swim spa offers the perfect retreat after a day spent exploring Skye.
Toravaig House Hotel
A charming and intimate hotel on Skye’s Sleat Peninsula, with a rich maritime heritage that has evolved into a multi award-winning boutique hotel, offering a cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Expect delicious flavours using the very best local ingredients. Its prime location next to Torabhaig Distillery tops off the whole experience.
Knipoch House Hotel
Nestled on the shores of Loch Feochan, near Oban, Knipoch House Hotel is a haven of warmth and tranquillity. This historic country house boasts breathtaking views and exceptional service.
