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.

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.

    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.

Wonderful Holiday

We have just had a wonderful five day holiday at the Glenburn Hotel, with Shearings coaches. The Ferry trip took 35 minutes. The food was good, hot and more than ample. We were served quickly. There were 4 coaches in but no trouble getting seats for the entertainment in the ballroom. The water was very hot, the room clean and very warm. Rothesay has a long road round the bay to walk. A good selection of shops. Flower gardens and palm trees. We will definitely recommend this place and hotel.

Wonderful Surroundings

Our first time at the Gairloch hotel and very satisfied. Staff friendly and food good and always served piping hot. Service in restaurant very prompt-perhaps a little too quickly! Otherwise a most enjoyable break. Will look forward to returning next year

Stunning Situation

Wonderful stay, stunning view from our room of the isle of sky. All staff were excellent. Food excellent, good choice, very good & quick service from pleasant dining staff. Our room, we upgraded to a sea view, was comfortable, slightly in need of an update, but was well serviced daily, so no complaints. Would recommend this Hotel very much, Thank You, all staff for a very enjoyable holiday.

Fantastic!

We were very dubious about this – if it went wrong, we were a long way from home. Our first time with Shearings! However, the pick-up and journey were well organised. The overnight hotel in Cumbria A+++, but best of all was the Gairloch Hotel! There was not one complaint. The food was great, the room excellent and the location and view to die for!

Gairloch Hotel is the Best

I went on my second visit to the Gairloch in August and as usual we didn’t want to leave. From Tony the manager to the brilliant waiting staff they make your holiday so relaxing and welcoming. The hotel is spotless, the food delightful, staff amazing, already booked another holiday there same time next year.
