Hotel & Restaurant.

Located on the shore of Applecross Bay and enjoying stunning views across to the Isle of Skye and Raasay, the Applecross Inn is reached either by the longer scenic, unclassified coastal single track from the north via Shieldaig, or via the A896 from Lochcarron in the south over the highest vehicular ascent in Britain.

The Bealach na Bà (Pass for the Cattle) rises a spectacular 2053 ft in six miles, with 1 in 5 gradients in places; naturally it is not for caravans, learner drivers nor the faint hearted. The high road to Applecross is one of the Grand Challenges of the Scottish road network.

Either route is well worth the journey, to reach this great place which has been owned and run by Judith Fish since 1989.

Applecross Brewery ales feature on hand pump plus an extensive range of bottled ales, served alongside an extensive malt whisky selection. Accommodation is available and local seafood is a specialty in the busy multi award-winning restaurant.

Food is served from midday until 9pm. The Inn now operates an online booking system.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome and handy, community-owned 24-hour petrol and diesel pumps are available close by.

As you draw up to the pub, you will probably be amazed to see a converted 'Airstream' caravan which is the 'Applecross Innside Out' offering ice cream.
