On the edge of Loch Gairloch, framed by the dramatic landscapes of Wester-Ross, lies a destination that appeals to anyone with a love for natural beauty and outdoor adventure. From The Old Inn, it takes only a short walk to reach sweeping sandy beaches such as Redpoint, where the horizon opens out towards Raasay, Skye and the Western Isles. Sunsets over the Minch are an unforgettable sight, casting colour across sea and sky. Along the rugged shoreline, there is ample opportunity to explore, and with a touch of luck, whales and seals can often be spotted offshore. Looking north, the scenery gives way to the striking volcanic peaks of Assynt, a backdrop that feels both wild and awe-inspiring.

At The Old Inn, tradition and hospitality come together with pride. The bar showcases an impressive selection of Scottish malts and gins, inviting guests to sample some of the country’s finest spirits. Its location on the west coast also ensures access to fresh, sustainably caught seafood delivered directly from the local harbour. Langoustines, lobster, mussels and scallops regularly feature on the menu, each dish a celebration of the surrounding waters. Whether visitors come for a light lunch or choose to stay for a weekend of walking and discovery, the inn’s team ensures a warm welcome and memorable experience.

Accommodation at The Old Inn combines comfort with thoughtful attention to detail. Each room offers non-smoking facilities, en suite bathrooms, flat screen televisions, Wi-Fi, tea and coffee-making amenities, central heating and heated towel rails. Guests can look forward to daily housekeeping, king-sized beds with fresh linens, bottled water and cots available on request. Ironing facilities are also provided when needed, ensuring that every aspect of a stay is designed for ease and relaxation.

The village of Gairloch itself, along with its surrounding landscapes, offers a true taste of the Highlands. The Gairloch Museum introduces visitors to the area’s rich history, while to the east, hills and mountains rise around Loch Maree, leading into the expansive wilderness of Fisherfield Forest. Behind The Old Inn, views extend towards the Flowerdale and Shieldaig Forests and even reveal a striking perspective of Beinn Alligin, the most westerly of the iconic Torridon range. It is a setting that reflects the very best of Scotland: natural grandeur, cultural heritage and a spirit of welcome.
