Hotel & Restaurant *** 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 popular and award-winning family-run hotel and bar is sheltered by mountains at the edge of Loch Carron. Fanned by warm North Atlantic Drift vapours, the palm trees along the quay are a result of the unique eco-system this creates.

The hotel boasts breathtaking views across the bay, with a lounge bar area to the front, two dining rooms and across the road a garden overlooking the inlet. The village itself has much to offer and is a regular haunt for outdoor enthusiasts.

Seafood is the speciality on an excellent menu that also features locally-reared beef and Highland venison.

Five hand pumps (three in the lounge, two in the bar) feature ever-changing beers from Scottish micros, usually including various brews from the Highland Brewing Company's Swannay Brewery (Orkney), Cromarty Brewing Company and Fyne Ales.

Their occasional 'Plockton Ale' is a house ale produced for the hotel by Inveralmond Brewery in Perth, not the nearby Plockton Brewery.

Beers are available as tasting platters of three thirds of a pint 'paddles' and in two-pint carry-outs.

Closed throughout January.

[Update 21 May 2025: Beers on Swannay Orkney IPA & Scapa Special, Williams Bros Fraoch and Cromarty Happy Chappy.]

[Update 25 May 2025: Changing beers today are Fyne Ales - Avalanche, Williams Bros - Fraoch Heather Ale, Fyne Ales - Jarl, Cromarty - Happy Chappy and Loch Lomond - Bonnie and Blonde, four hand pumps active. Plockton Brewery beers on now and then.]
