Kilchoan House Hotel in Highland

Stayed here for one night before getting the ferry to Mull. Perfect to break up the travel, and a delicious meal for dinner. Helpful staff, comfortable large room, was worth the recommendation to head out to the lighthouse in the morning before the ferry, thank you.

We had a fantastic meal here during our holiday, I can thoroughly recommend. We both had the house curry which was delicious, but the menu was very varied with lots of options. Great drinks selection as well in a great pub.

The location is stunning, nestled in a beautiful part of Scotland. The drive is a bit long, with single-track roads for many kilometers, but the journey is well worth it. The natural surroundings are breathtaking. Besides Mingary Castle, this is the only hotel in the village, so there's not much choice. It's a decent place to spend a couple of nights, essentially a pub with rooms. The staff are incredibly friendly. Our room was spacious and clean, but a bit dated and missing some basic conveniences, like having only one plug and no towel hooks in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, though. Breakfast is a highlight – you pre-order and choose a time the day before, and they prepare it just for you. The food quality is excellent, and the service is friendly and efficient. I enjoyed my visit mainly because of the beautiful nature and the warm staff. However, the room itself felt overpriced for what it offered. Given there's no other option in the village, it's understandable, but it still feels a bit steep.

Don’t judge it by dated decor.. the staff are really helpful and nothing is too much trouble,, they are very attentive all evening.. we ordered pizzas which were really tasty and fresh.. the prices are fair especially for the location… the lady serving even put a sparkler in the dessert and initiated a rendition of Happy Birthday, we had a lovely evening. The background music was definitely our taste and we felt comfortable to return 3 times more on our holiday…. Thankyou

This is an absolutely brilliant hotel / bar. We have just returned from a Grand Tour of Scotland. One of the hotels we stayed in was the Kilchoan House Hotel on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. As soon as we walked in (tired after a 7 hour drive) the manager was really helpful and the rest of the staff couldn’t do enough to help. The room (No. 6) was loverly and very spacious. We had dinner in the hotel. I had the beef pie and my wife had the fish – both were really nice. Oh and top marks must go to the breakfast. Oh one other point – if you have not been there before you have to try the local ale – I did a few times 😊

A lovely place to stay, worth spending time in Ardnamurchan. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had dinner, B and B and it was a special treat for a 70th birthday! We would definitely go there again.

We stayed for three nights and were impressed by the helpful and hard working staff. Accommodation good and good food. Recommended

What a great welcoming place this is after a long journey due to ferry problems. Rooms were comfortable, clean and warm and spacious. The food was tasty and the helpings huge. Best of all was just how downright friendly and welcoming every member of staff is. Nothing was too much trouble and they were great to chat to. This was our second visit in a month and it was a cracking stay each time. It is a real haven at the end of a beautiful but long road.

A perfect location for exploring the Ardnurmurchan Peninsula . Also close to the ferry to Tobermory on Mull if wanting a day out on foot. The staff are welcoming and friendly with the food being good honest home pub food.We had 4 dinners and all were excellent and good value. Very comfortable large room with a lovely view over to Mull . Slightly tired decor but more than made up by all the positives.

Perfectly clean and well run hotel. It's not luxury, but the staff are welcoming, food is good and the rooms are fully equipped with everything you need for a short stay.

We booked to eat out on our last night in Kilchoan and the hotel was nearby. The ambience wasn't the best. The bar area looked very tired and in need of a refresh. We were given a tiny table opposite the dartboard in a very dark area. We could see the practically empty dining room but were told that the tables were all reserved (at 7.45pm). So we accepted a conservatory table (entrance to the hotel). The food was good - a steak cooked as I had asked. Hubby had the salmon - lacking seasoning for him. A table of men also in the conservatory spoiled our experience though. Clearly on a trip and very, very loud with liberal use of foul language. It would have been pretty pointless, I think, to ask for a bit of peace. This was, sadly, very far from our best memory of Kilchoan.

We stayed 4 nights and when we booked in March, we asked for a ground floor room because my wife has mobility problems. I repeated the request by email in June. On arrival we were told that there aren't any ground floor rooms. I think we should have been told that when we booked. We had also asked for a room with a walk in shower. We were given a room on the 2nd floor, a climb of 40 steps so not so good. On the plus side the evening meals were first class and the staff very helpful, friendly and efficient. A good hotel for dogs but not for anyone with mobility issues..

The starter was well made and the staff were very friendly. In addition, the main was quite nice and enjoyable.

We arrived without a reservation and were accommodated by a couple of very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of local beers and good quality pub food. We both had burgers sourced from local suppliers and both were perfectly cooked,

At present this lovely little hotel is not able to accommodate you for food if you are not a resident . Apparently it has been like this for approx 5 weeks . I am only reviewing so you do not make the same mistake I made . Expecting a meal out ,while you are staying in the area. I had also only bought food for approx 4 days ,presuming I would eat out the rest of my stay. Sadly this is not mentioned on website. Perhaps an update would help ....?

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and drinks in this lovely, older-style local pub. What's not to like! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the meals were good value for money and very tasty. We would certainly return if we're ever back in the area and will recommend to anyone visiting the area. Wonderful to see businesses like this survive the tough times.

The website for this hotel makes it look far better than the reality. Rooms are at best stark, no welcome pack, nothing to explain any services but that’s hardly surprising as they don’t really have any. WiFi was at best intermittent on the night we stayed. Found ghastly, let’s just say chips, chips and chips plus for the stayed home cooked actually read Homeprude cook in sauce. Ran out of lemons, ran out of items on menu, ran out of gin! Staff running around smiling and doing their best in a badly managed dump of a place. We paid for two nights but ran away after one, it was worse than a jail sentence. Customer service... I don’t think they know what it is.

Great Hotel As usual welcomed by friendly staff Nothing a problem to sort when asked. Room A1+ Breakfast Tasty Excellent views 15 minute walk ferry to Mull Stay again when get a chance Great selection of food and beers

We had the langoustines, not cheap, but you get a generous portion of lots of 'em; the plate looked superb! They had a couple of other specials (not on the app. menu) too which looked excellent. All the deserts seem to be made on the premises. The staff were genuinely personable and helpful. I really can't recommend this place more highly. Whilst they don't have any cask ales on draft there is good selection of Scottish bottled beers and a choice of different local whiskys too - if you don't fancy paying £50 a bottle for the Tobermory or Ardmanurchan distilled Scotch but still want to try!

delicious food. for started we had the prawn cocktail and soup of the day (which was celeriac). for mains we had haddock and chips and a veggie burger with chips. delicious food with generous portions. excellent service. covid protocols followed well. remote but worth a visit if you're near by

We stayed 2 nights at the Kilchoan Hotel and booked in for dinner on both nights with friends who were staying in the village. We arrived at 2.30, a little early to check in but it was no problem at all. We received a warm...

We had perfectly cooked crispy squid for starters and for mains, a large portion of delicious langoustines in lemon butter and a fresh tasting Thai prawn curry. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Everything was spotless. The walls are decorated with superb, oversize photographs.

In KIlchoan, we stayed at “Liz’s Place” (which we have already reviewed on Airbnb, highly recommended) and ate both nights at the local hotel. There wasn’t much else to choose from in the village, but we had no complaints. The food, standard pub menu, was...

Even with Covid going on the welcome was friendly. Large enough for social distancing with a good selection of drinks and friendly staff. We stayed for a meal but the full menu isn’t available every night as they do speciality nights like fish and chip...

Visited during restrictions for an early dinner and was not disappointed! Party of 4 adults, one young child and a teenager who all enjoyed a good meal. Great service and lovely food.

Great to see that this Hotel is still providing great service and lovely food, all the staff were as always cheerful and helpful. Best to book because of Covid

During Covid, strongly suggest you book a table in advance, especially as dining options are limited (non existent) this far west. Had a decent steak pie with real home cooked chips on a Thursday night, but sadly Friday nights menu is restricted to over priced...

Horrible weather in Ardnamurchan but a warm welcome at Kilchoan. Good Covid adherence without being over the top. Bar meals, homemade and very tasty., good choice , reasonably priced. Great staff.

Nice meal. Friendly staff and dog friendly too. The venison burger was really tasty and the battered haddock nice

Nice (only) pub in the area. We had the venison burger with chips and salad - the burger was absolutely amazing! Would get it any time again, the chips were good but not the best. The other ppl in the group loved them tho. The...

This is a perfectly nice hotel with friendly staff and good food on the whole . It isn’t anything fancy, which is fine , is clean and comfortable. We paid a little more to stay in the four poster room with a lovely view. The...

Popped in here a few times during our week in a cottage in Kilchoan. Always open for a pint, and we went in to eat on Friday for the chippy supper special which we enjoyed. Decent portions.

This place is nice enough, friendly staff behind the bar (the guy bringing meals was less so - I saw him trying to get past customers and it didn't seem to occur to him to say "excuse me"). There was a mix of locals and...

We ate here a couple of times whilst on holiday in the area. Food was good on each occasion. Second time weather was so good we ate outside!!! Good, friendly service too. Would recommend the surf and turf and the Tuscan salad!!

Fish and chips were great (like the fish and chip shop, but not greasy) - Real ale was limited choice but one I had was very nice - service was friendly, seating options are many, also a hotel for those over-nighting - mix of 'real...

Nej nej nej. Det är slitet och nedgånget överallt. Möblerna från Ikeas billiga sortiment. Heltäckningsmattan i badrummet har rest sig på flera ställen och buktar upp. Vatten rinner från det inbyggda badkaret och mot dörren. Taklampan i badrummet har nakna kablar. Döda spindlar i fönstret, könshår i sängen, sängen som för övrigt är så gammal att den knarrar, gnisslar och låter som pulveriserad skumgummi. Fläckar på väggarna. Vet inte om de har lyxigare rum på övervåningen eller varför alla ger så högt betyg men detta är bland det sämsta jag varit med om. Maten är under medel. Lägg inte pengar här.

Whilst staying on the peninsula my wife and I decided to call into the Kilchoan Hotel for an evening meal and we were greeted by friendly staff and shown to a table.The menu caters for all tastes, everything is locally sourced and cooked to perfection, with a freshness to the vegetables that only comes from being a product.The staff are all very professional and polite and nothing is to much trouble.

Visited the pub for lunch one day and we knew it was going to be a favourite! Dogs also allowed in which is fabulous Had cling and dinner and then the Friday night boxed takeaway dinners - loved them allGreat friendly service and pub a good atmosphere tooWould recommend a visit here if in the area

Stopped in here two nights on the trot for a sly ale after a hard day's waking.

Went for evening family meal & drinks. Well presented, plenty choice, pleasant staff & not to forget dog friendly.

We had a fantastic time in this friendly hotel and restaurant. The rooms were cheerful and bright, clean and well-appointed. The food was excellent. And it was conveniently located for walks, the lighthouse, the castle, and the Tobermory ferry. Would absolutely stay there again.

Considering that chips are a basic staple of Pub Grub very few places seem to make much effort to get them right. So often bought in frozen and with an added coating to try and give a crunchier outside, they need no skill and usually fail to impress. So it was rather nice to have a meal with proper chips ‘like mother used to make’. We have eaten here a few times on our visits to wonderful Ardnamurchan and have always been happy with the service and the food. This time we had the Tuscan Salad and the Beefburger made from local beef - both delicious. Returning on Friday evening for Fish and Chips night you couldn’t fault it. Fresh fish, superb batter, and those chips! Good prices, good ambience, and the added bonus of a group ( banjo, fiddle etc) playing on the back terrace. Love Ardnamurchan, love this pub.

Stayed for one night on a mini-tour along the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. We were in a family room (double and two singles) on the second floor.

The nearest hotel to a lot of accommodation around Kilchoan. They do offer rooms as well. I believe they have 9 available. A great spot for exploring the peninsular and very close to the car ferry to Mull. We dropped in for lunch and had a delicious soup. It was off peak season so quiet. The staff advised us that it gets very busy during the summer.

We’ve holidayed twice in kilchoan... Had a few evening meals and a couple of drinks on each holiday, food and atmosphere are great highly recommend giving it a try.. ian / Amanda ( Doncaster)

Very nice meal. The food was well cooked well presented, portion size was good but not too much and a very good standard. It is not Michelin standard but it was a very nice and very enjoyable meal. Desserts were very nice and all home made, Not out of a packet.

We ate here on our way to Ardnamurchan Point. I think it is the nearest place for a sit-down meal. Food was above average ... nice vegan chickpea curry served with slices of sweet potato and a pork and apple burger, which, we were told, had been made with locally bred pork. Kids food was good too. Served quickly by friendly barmaid. We were the only people there in mid October ... given how beautiful the area is, deserves to be better frequented.

Not much to chose from in the area, but the food was very good at this place. It was quite packed, however, the service was good. They have table service here. Great food.

freundliche Mitarbeiter, guter Kaffee, Abendessen umfangreich, und schmeckt gut (wir hatten Curry), freitags gibt es spezielle, preisgünstige Angebote

Ate here three times during our stay in Kilchoan. You need to book as it gets very busy. Worth waiting for as it is freshly cooked. The fish and chips are to die for, the curry has a great flavour.

Repas copieux, très généreusement servi, confectionné à partir de produits de qualité. Cuisine familiale. Prix modéré. Service sympathique

Enjoyed two evening meals here with friends. Generous portions. Friendly service. The bar fridge wasn't working well so refridgerated drinks (cider, beer) were not cold. White wine by the glass was served with ice in it! Desserts were very good.

De passage, nous avons pris un petit déjeuner dans ce établissement. Cadre un peu vieillot mais cuisine correcte et prix accessible. Rien d'incroyable, mais de quoi se poser avant de poursuivre son voyage.

We visited on several occasions while staying in Kilchoan and found the reception very friendly. The food was excellent and the "fish and Chip Friday " menu outstanding! Good range vof beverages and free wifi.

Maybe we went at a bad time but our fish and chips were distinctly average, well that's being nice about it. It was as if it had been reheated a few times to be honest. We didn't bother complaining, we had done a lot of travelling and just wanted to get back to the tent.

The staff were helpful when the midges forced us indoors as we just started our meal.

Huge portions served in a box. Popular on Fridays for its fish. Not sure what they serve the rest of the week

Just happened upon this remote hotel. Well worth a detour - will come back.Prices were correct and portion generous. Hotel accommodation looks good although we did not stay there.

Un lieu où l on se sent bien, merci pour votre générosité dans les assiettes aux saveurs authentiques. Bière excellente ! n'hésitez pas arrêtez vous

We enjoyed our meal of fish and chips. The portion was huge but it was very tasty. It was quite quiet when we visited but I reckon it was because it was 'out of season'

While staying at The Saltings, we went to The Hotel for dinner on Christmas Eve. The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. There was an extensive menu for adults and kids. The food was amazing. Would definately go back.

Nice hotel serving some really good evening meals at reasonable prices. We would be very happy to go back. They do a great breakfast as well. Staff friendly and helpful.

The local pub serves great food and of course cold beer. worth a stop for a bite if you are passing through.

Out in the middle of nowhere, so there are few places to eat, but this is definitely worth the stop. A selection of meals, including specials we found they were served very quickly. Plenty of parking and offers accommodation as well.

Are here twice during our stay as we could take the dog in either to the bar or conservatory but not the main restaurant, meals very reasonable with good choice very pleasant staff and locals also very friendly

No nos quedamos en el hotel, pero cenamos en el pub dos veces. Disfrutamos muchísimo. La comida era buena, el personal era amable y eficiente. Pero lo mejor de todo era que los patrones amable y siempre amable comunicativo y. Tenía una sensación muy hogareña...

Frequented this lovely hotel several times during our wee in Kilchoan. Lovely refurb throughout and nice extension to front. Staff helpful and friendly, food on Friday fresh and plentiful. Lovely atmosphere and quite busy for Kilchoan. Would recommend

We stopped for lunch, which was very nice. We stuck to ordinary pub food - Scampi and chips and a steak pie. good portions, friendly service. We had our coffee in the garden at the back, very peaceful with lovely trees and plants.

We went to the hotel for dinner and weren't disappointed. The food was really good (particularly the venison burger) and the menu was varied with changing specials. Would happily eat there again, particularly if the weather was good enough to eat outside given the nice garden out the back.

Good. On a sunny day it would be lovely to sit in the beer garden. We sat inside as it was a little cool (the sun did come out later but we were already settled in the conservatory area). Nice views up nearby hills. We had a typical pub lunch - calamari, scampi and chips, halloumi (yum!) and a special - langoustine. Not the best food we had of late but we have been spoiled (in Mull and nearby Mingary Castle) and it was good enough with friendly and efficient service. They have a large menu offering other things like venison burgers and other food typical of the region and are reasonably priced. I'd recommend for lunch and a drink if in the area.

The only pub for miles in a wonderful location - but oh what a shame.No draught beer - and even managed to run out of the only decent bottled beerVery average menu - do not go on a Friday unless you like boxed chips - other times have a slightly better menu but still poor quality . Crab cakes with no crab taste at all . Possibly the worst surf and turf I have ever seen - luckily i did not order it .A couple of great staff keep the place running . But if you are staying near here make sure you stock up with food and drink at a supermarket !It could be so good if someone sorted it out !

Sorry but this was not good. We stopped here on our way out to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse a we were starving and had not passed a place to eat for many miles. While the scenery out in this direction was stunning you really are in the middle of nowhere and unfortunately this stop to eat was not a good one. I ordered the prawns which were small and what little meat I could get out of the shrimps which I had to peel was crumbly and not good. I was still hungry by the time I left. My husband said his steak was horrible. While my son said his pizza was OK I tasted it and I didn't care for it. Stop way before this area to eat if you are heading to the Lighthouse or pack a picnic!

Restauration classique sans plus, des assiettes bien remplies mais la qualité est modeste et c'est relativement cher.

We called in here one evening whilst staying at the vastly overrated Mingary Castle down the road. The pork chops were large, hot, tender and tasted heavenly. The gravy was superb. The accompanying mash and vegetables were good and the price reasonable. This is a clean pleasant pub in a nice village with very efficient and pleasant staff.

Reasonable menu at fair pricesStaff very nice and helpfulEnded up being in restaurant on our own as busy with other function in hotelFood was ok and well presentedPartner had pie and veg which was well cookedmyself had the Languistines

Visited this place a couple of times, the food is typical pub grub, nothing too fancy and reasonably priced, decent pint too.Nothing much else around on this part of the peninsula so they have a captive audience. Good outside seating should the weather be favorable. Pretty much what you expect in a pub these days, not fantastic but not bad either.

We were camping so found this along the road. It is busy you might need to wait for a table. Quick friendly service. Meal wasn't too long in coming. A bit more expensive than some places. But then it is in the back of beyond. Meal was lovely would recommend and return also

Decent pub food. Excellent service. Generally a cheerful local place. The mainstay local for our holiday.

Ate here several times on our recent stay and can recommend a visit to anyone in the area.Pizza's are great along with the rest of the menu.Give it a visit !

The Kilchoan House Hotel has been getting better and better over the last few years. You get a consistently good service (especially from the lady and South African guy in the bar), and good standard of food. Lovely seafood specials on our last visit in October.Many locals use it so that says a lot.Never stayed here as we always stay in a cottage or lodge. Will be back next year.

Had good value fish and chips meal. Service was friendly and quick. We sat in the conservatory which was heated and comfortable. Would recommend.

Ate here whilst on holiday, quaint old fashioned hotel but food was good, I had the langoustines in lemon butter and my husband the steak, cooked well and service was ok.

We were staying for a week self catering in Ardnamurchan and ran out of food with nowhere to buy much for dinner so, we ventured into Kilchoan and called at the hotel. Once for tea with our dog outside then two nights running inside with our dog. Great food, especially the fish & chips on Friday and very friendly staff, especially the young South African guy. Couldn't fault it. Great atmosphere, lovely local people, great food and wifi (we had gone a whole week without! Bliss!!). Would definitely recommend.

Friday night is fish supper night at the Kilchoan Hotel. There is a choice of fish, chicken, black pudding, fishcake to go with your chips. We had the fish and it was excellent. We ate in but you can order a take away. Friendly staff and good quick service. It was quite busy so would be a good idea ot reserve a table if you want to guarantee a table.

Whilst holidaying in Kilchoan, we had two evening meals at the hotel. Both occasions were very enjoyable with good service, enjoyable food and reasonably priced. The beef pie was good and the Friday fish and chips excellent.

A thriving local pub/hotel, a real hub of the community. Excellent fish and chips, great ale, friendly atmosphere. Will visit again.

Called in for lunch. Menu is pretty much bog standard pub food at lunch time. Scampi and chips was well cooked and presented. No complaints. A useful place as there is not much else around.

Locale carino,ottimo cibo,servizio veloce,scarsa selezione di birre ma comunque nel complesso promosso!

We had been turned away from the Sonachan Cafe because it was closed so went to this Hotel. It was early May and the place was deserted. I am a coeliac and so need a gluten free diet. The only thing I could eat on the menu was the salads. But I wasn't disappointed. It was huge with a great mix of salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber and onion and tuna. The dressing was absolutely gorgeous and i think homemade. I was very full even after a salad. The service was faultless. It is a very limited lunch menu with no specials. That would be my only complaint.

We had fish and chips for the adults and chicken nuggets and chips for our children. Food was tasty but was fairly "standard". What made up for an average meal, was the friendly staff member from South Africa who served us and the restaurant allowed us to bring in our dog (we were seated in the 'front porch' area).

We arrived here after a day at Sanna Bay, popped in for a pint and to share a snack as camping up the road for the night.Staff were nice, not over friendly, I had a scallop starter which were nice but did not require the sauce and were a little sandy. My husband ordered the special ribs starter, couldn't finish them, tough and tasteless.The place looked like a good local, well worn in, but cosy. Maybe on another evening it might have been great, looking at other reviews but not the evening we visited.

Staying in Kilchoan for two days, literally 100m from this hotel. Hadn't booked a table but was offered a table in dining room or in the bar area, sat next to the bar and what an excellent place to sit as staff were passing us every 2 mins so very attentive and made sure our glasses were kept full and plates were cleared quickly, I had pork loin in cream sauce and my wife had scampi. Both dishes were lovely and my wife even managed to squeeze in apple crumble. All in all a very enjoyable night. Probably be back tomorrow !!!!

une adresse à éviter !!! le personnel n'est pas souriant, ambiance tristounette, radio au son très fort dans les oreilles... de plus les plats sont tous frits, importés et congelés ! un service médiocre dans un si beau cadre, quel dommage !

During a recent week-long stay in the area with friends and our dogs, we had two pleasant evening meals at the Kilchoan Hotel. On the first occasion the burgers, lasagne, etc. (i.e the bar menu classics) were all of fine quality and very reasonably priced. A dish we ordered from the restaurant menu, however, was less accomplished; the duck breast, after a fairly long wait, arrived extremely overcooked. Fair play to the staff, however, and especially Ross, the excellent duty manager, who offered another to be made. Given that we didn't have time, he insisted instead on providing free drinks and removed it from the bill. On Friday nights it's fish & chips night. Book in advance if possible, as the whole village descends on the Kilchoan Hotel, and creates a convivial atmosphere! The Kilchoan Hotel is an excellent village pub, with good food, and I would definitely eat here again if in the area.

Ate at this traditional small hotel twice as enjoyed it so much the first time. Lovely welcome and very good service from staff. Friday evening is fish & chip night and the place was packed with locals - not surprising as the quality was excellent. Our dogs were welcomed in the garden room at the front and in the bar (just not in the dining room).

Sans doute la viande la plus dure que j'ai mangé de ma vie! Une véritable boule de viande dans mon burger. L'accueil, le wifi gratuit et la situation rattrapent un peu mais je ne conseille pas d'y manger. Un pub sympa dans un coin magnifique quand même!
