The Old Inn Gairloch

Originally only planning on staying one night here but ended up staying 4. The hotel is in such a beautiful and quiet place we decided to finish our trip here and get some much needed relaxation days in.The hotel was cheap in comparison with other hotels on the coast and while it was basic it was really nice. It was clean and tidy and exactly what I expected for what I paid.Food in the restaurant is not cheap but is phenomenal - did not have a bad meal here and would thoroughly recommend.The Scottish lady that works on reception and the bar was particularly nice. She made our stay much better and was extremely welcoming, going the right extra mile to make things nice for my partners birthday was a nice touch!

Had a lovely meal here. Portions aren't massive, a bit on the small side for the price to be honest but very tasty .Service was quite slow, only one person behind the bar to serve and wait on . Maybe I caught them on a bad day .

Nicely situated old Inn but in serious need of room renovation. Everything was clean but during our stay the room was an actual sauna due to poor insulation with no chance of cooling it down during the night. Our window faced the rear of the Inn and once opened to try and cool the room down we had the smell of the kitchen extractor hood. Breakfast was basic and considering the price for one night we definitely had more lovingly prepared food in other places. Overall I would try and stick to a B&B as we found them to be a lot more visitor orientated.

Last night we had our final highlands meal. It was at The Old Inn, where we ate 5 nights in a row. Why?Because their chefs is an absolute wizardBecause their staff are utterly lovelyBecause their bar is outstandingBecause their owners are terrific folksBecause the place is as old, dark and classic as it getsAnd because the vibe (for lack of a better word) was really special in a deeply Scottish way.

We stayed here in June. The food was absolutely amazing, very memorable. The dock leads to the most amazing beach. Staff very friendly. Down to earth pub atmosphere we were looking for.

Beautiful pub, idyllically situated by the river. Cosy ambience, very friendly and quick service, delicious food in large portions, tasty cider on tap. On the picture: Salmon sandwich for 11£

Signage wasn’t great, we had to walk around the building to find someone to check us in upon arrival. The room we had was large, clean but quite dated. The bunkbed was rickety and we wobbled a lot when our daughter got in and out. The bedding quality was poor, pillows had definitely seen better days.Evening restaurant food was great, good choice in food and very tasty.Disappointing breakfast, the choice for hot food wasn’t good. Boiled eggs, bacon roll and a couple of pastries. The layout was confusing, from having to search for our room number on a table across 3 rooms to finding where different cereals/hot food were in the buffet room as they were dotted all over the place. This would’ve been easier and a better experience if a staff member explained things and or showed us to our table.Overall we wouldn’t stay here again,

We have been for lunch a few times, but decided to treat ourselves to a couple of nights stay. The room was clean and spacious, with a big comfy bed. They kindly supplied a dog bed, too, although it was much too small for our lurcher.Food in the restaurant was good, but it is not at all clear that food should be ordered at the bar, which led to a longer wait.Breakfast was plentiful, and not rationed as another reviewer has stated.There was a WiFi outage one morning, but everyone rallied round to continue to provide lunch service.

Great service. Nice food. Perfect if you are in a campervan over the road in the harbour. Don’t forget to walk to the waterfall!
