Hotel information

They say, ‘see Gairloch and you’ve seen The Highlands’. With a landscape rich in wildlife and unspoilt shores, lochs and mountains, there is certainly some truth in that.

Our hotel is situated at the centre point of Gairloch Bay, giving wonderful panoramic views out to the Isle of Skye. Restful, beautiful and brimming with Highland hospitality, the tastefully appointed Gairloch Hotel stands in a superb location. This charming hotel is just minutes from the beach.

The hotel has had a number of rooms upgraded to Superior and Premier status for those who wish to match the impressive backdrop with a more luxurious stay. Enjoy dining in the wonderfully tasteful restaurant before settling down to an evening of great entertainment in the comfortable Grand Lounge and entertainment room. It’s a true taste of Scotland, distilled.

The hotel has a car park located to the side of the building.

Local Insight

Gairloch, with its fine sandy beaches, has been popular with visitors since Victorian times. It is still the main centre for exploring a of coastline, with attractions such as Inverewe Gardens at Poolewe. There are wonderful beaches all along this section of coast from Red Point in the south right up to Gruinard Bay in the north. Just as fine as the coastline is the hinterland of little-visited rocky mountains. The highest summits here are magnificent peaks, set well back from the road in one of Britain's remotest wilderness areas.

  • Attadale Gardens
    Started by Baron Schroder in the late 19th century, hill paths meandered through 20 acres of conifers and rhododendrons. Totally transformed after the 1980 storms by owner Nicky Macpherson, it is an artist’s garden designed to frame the magnificent views of Skye and the surrounding hills. Waterfalls, Monet bridges, meconopsis, bamboo and candelabra primula are reflected in dark pools. Sculpture lurks in unexpected places.

    Housed in a complex of old farm buildings, Gairloch Heritage Museum is a record of life in the area from pre-history to the present day. The award-winning museum was established in 1977 and has much to offer both the casual visitor sheltering from the gentle Wester Ross rain, and the more serious student of history and Highland life. Children and adults will love the working models, quizzes and hands-on activities, while researchers will find rich resources in the library and archives.
