*** 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! ***.
The Priory Hotel has a long history, taking its name from the home of the 13th Century Cistercian monks who chose Beauly as an ideally tranquil location for their secluded meditation and worship.
In the same family since 1972, the hotel is located at the heart of the small Highland town of Beauly, next to the ruins of the priory and overlooking the bustling town square with its array of local shops and eateries.
Food and drink are served in the lounge or restaurant, as well as the in-house public bar – The Comm – where you can enjoy a roaring fire. The food is popular with both residents and locals alike, and includes All-Day, Lunch, Supper, and A la Carte dinner menus, as well as a Sunday lunchtime carvery.
[Update 26 Jun 2024: "No longer serves real ale. The Cromarty Happy Chappie is on keg font now (and had run out anyway) as are also Cromarty Hazy IPA and Red. No bottle alternatives. Staff not knowledgeable about any of the beers either."]
