The Old Inn

Hotel situated in a lovely location. Friendly welcome on check in. The room was homely and clean. Breakfast was substantial and well cooked. We had one evening meal here and enjoyed the offerings….nice friendly ambiance in the dining areas and bar . The Hotel is in well suited for short day trips out to the many nearby attractions. Gairloch Harbour is literally across the road from the hotel and within easy walking distance. The sidewalk leading up to the harbour is adorned with seafaring items filled with colourful plants and flowers.There are seats all along this part and the volunteers do a lovely job maintaining this attraction.

Arriving at the Inn, we were easily able to find the reception desk and staff to check us in. Upstairs brought us to our large room overlooking the garden, creek and parking lot. Had our breakfasts and dinners in the restaurant. The food and service were good. Spent a rainy afternoon in the lobby lounge reading in front of the fire. Very cozy. Inn is within walking distance of the pier, golf course, beautiful beach and waterfalls. Staff were friendly and helpful, recommending sights to see.

The hotel is very tired and needs an update for the cost. They seemed to be short staffed as there was no one at reception for 15 minutes. We had to ring their phone number to get someone. The meal was ok but expensive but I suspect they have a captive market. Overall sadly I wouldn’t recommend this place. It could make a lovely place if it was refurbed as the location is stunning.
