West Highland Hotel, Mallaig

*** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***

This imposing building up the brae and five minutes walk from the ferry and rail terminals enjoys excellent views over to the islands of Skye, Rum and Eigg.

It offers accommodation and food in the restaurant is locally sourced.

The bar, to the the right of the main entrance and reception, sports two hand pumps dispensing ales from Orkney brewery and Glen Spean brewery near Fort William.

Like other places in the village it can become busy when the Jacobite steam train is in town.

Closed for four weeks over the Xmas / New Year (Winter) period annually so if visiting over the festive season, phone/email ahead for availability.
