There are glorious views across the Sound of Sleat from this dog-friendly 19th-century inn, with restaurant and bar serving gastropub fare from the surrounding estate and local waters.
Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
New to Nick Dent’s Original Collection, and revelling in its Gaelic heritage, this traditional 19th-century inn almost dips a toe in the Sound of Sleat, with sublime views to the hills of Knoydart. Characterful bedrooms have a cottagey feel (ginghams, florals, period furniture). After days of country sports or wildlife spotting, return to sample Gaelic whiskies by a roaring fire. Labradoodle Ginny and cockapoo Pippa welcome visiting pooches. In the bar and panelled dining room, gastropub fare includes estate venison, fish and shellfish landed on the stone pier on which Jacobite heroine Flora Macdonald was arrested, and there’s a separate menu for veggies and vegans. (See also Forss House, Shieldaig Lodge, Lewtrenchard Manor, Widbrook Grange.)
