Skaill House is situated near the west coast of Mainland overlooking the Bay of Skaill and Skara Brae, and close to St Peter's Kirk.
It is described by Historic Environment Scotland as the "most complete 17th century country mansion in Orkney".

The oldest parts of the building surrounded three sides of a central courtyard, and were constructed in the early 17th century.
The building is predominately two storeys, with some three storey sections, and is rendered with harl.
Parts of the gables are crow-stepped.

There is a stableyard with a brewhouse and harness room, to the north of the main buildings, and a dovecote dating to the 18th century beside the house.
The south wing is partially built on an old, pre-Viking burial ground, thought to be Pictish.
