Good Pub Guide Recommended

Lovely setting on northern corner of Skye, welcoming 18th-c inn with good, simple food, and lots of whiskies; a rewarding place to stay

This is Skye's oldest inn and stands just above a sheltered inlet on the island's west side with views out to the Hebrides; the sunsets are glorious. The unpretentious original public bar has great character, with its sturdy country furnishings, flagstones, beam-and-plank ceiling, partly panelled stripped-stone walls and coal fire in a grate between the two rooms. There's a games area with pool table, darts, board games, dominoes and cribbage, and maybe piped music. Caledonian Deuchars IPA and a couple of local guests such as Isle of Skye Red Cuillin and Orkney Golden Amber on handpump, 11 wines by the glass and over 125 malt whiskies. Good service from smartly uniformed staff. There's a lively children's inside play area and showers for yachtsmen. All the bedrooms have sea views and breakfasts are good - it's well worth pre-ordering the tasty smoked kippers if you stay.

Good Pub Guide Food

Using local fish and highland meat, the short choice of good, simple and very sensibly priced food includes lunchtime sandwiches (the haggis toastie and the seasonal crab are extremely popular), hot smoked salmon platter and breaded haddock, with evening choices such as steak in ale pie, pork chop with walnut and blue cheese butter, duck breast with a creamy cider sauce, venison pie, and a fresh fish dish of the day.
