Plockton Inn in Highland

We stopped here for a meal. The hotel and restaurant had been recently refurbished by the new owners, Highland Coast Hotels, to cater for tourists on the North Coast 500 driving route. The menu was simple but the prices were expensive with £35 for a starter and a main and another £8 for a dessert. At these prices we had high hopes for a gourmet dinner. The starters were good and round the corner at the Plockton Hotel and any where else in Scotland would have been £8. This left £28 for the main. The Highland Burger Main when it arrived was not worth half the £28. It was small, dry, dull and chewy with the most parsimonious handful of chips you could get away with. Still hungry I ordered the sticky toffee pudding. It was a tiny tray baked dry portion of cake with barely enough sauce to moisten a mouthful. It was the meanest serving I had seen. The staff on the other hand were friendly, charming, efficient and helpful. They were praiseworthy. I think the poor food and the mean portions were down to the management of the owners who wanted to fleece the tourists for all they could get and instructed their staff to maximise profit. It is a shame as this short sighted approach will damage any reputation.

Had dinner and was not impressed with quality or quantity of the food. Sad to see this place decline as last year it was much better

This was one of our favourite hotels but we were very disappointed on our recent visit. We were in Sorley's House, where we have been on previous visits, but this time on the top floor. The room was small with combed ceiings, which we read about, but hadn't expected it to be so cramped. The bathroom ceiling was so low that my husband had to bend over to shave! Walk in shower was a bonus. Food was alright but sadly not the standard of the previous visits and tables were very close. Breakfast was in the Haven which was disappointing too. Sadly a bad experience and an expensive one at over £300 BB for a night. Hopefully this was them having a bad day as the Inn has been excellent and in a lovely area.

Although tasty, the Fish Broth was not quite as described by the waiter as a meal? A mere bowl of Scotch Broth with some flakes of fish thrown in. At £19.50 plus 10% service charge it really was not good value for money! There was very little choice on the menu. I left feeling very disappointed.

Well I have positives and negatives of our 2 night stay. Firstly we did not stay in the Plockton Inn as booked but we were moved to the building next door 'The Haven'. The room was nice enough but the outside wall looked damp and there was mould at the window but the room seemed clean enough but not as per the advertised photos. Dinner at the Plockton Inn was lovely and an amazing soup to start. Breakfast was basic, a continental help yourself buffet but again looking online I had seen menus with options and no information was given that this was a buffet style so I felt it was over priced for what it was. Staff were lovely and friendly and the area is stunning but for the price we paid per night and the room we stayed in I wouldn't be going again.

Excellent restaurant. L’atmosphère est très locale: les habitants du coin y viennent beaucoup. Décoré avec goût. Service très sympa et la cuisine est top. Tout est fait maison et très bon avec des produits choisis. Laissez vous tenter même par un fish & chips. Si vous aimez les moules, faites le détour. Et n’oubliez pas de réserver (sur internet, ça marche très bien)

Mooi restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. De vis- en zeevruchten zijn super lekker en super vers. De wijnen en cocktails zijn wel heel duur. Lekkere suggesties ook. De rekening was uiteindelijk redelijk prijzig voor 3 drankjes, 1 sharing gerecht en 2 hoofdgerechten maar we hebben dit met plezier betaald. We waren tenslotte op vakantie en zijn niet elke dag gaan eten ;-)

Staff and service excellent couldn’t do enough for you. Food amazing quality local produce cooked to perfection. Local beers, ales and quality wines all reasonably priced. Friendly place and dogs welcome in the bar, well worth a visit when in Plockton.

Service souriant et efficace. Cuisine correcte avec bons dessert ( delicieuse tarte avec creme à la vanille tiède). Tarif assez elevé

Excellent dinner in the very special village of Plockton. The tuna special main course was outstanding - probably one of the tastiest seafood dishes I've had in years - nice one chef; the mussels were delicious and the service was brilliant. Very highly recommended.

Première surprise : plats commandés 24h en avance. Manque de personnel en cuisine ? Difficultés d’approvisionnement des différents ingrédients ? Malgré des avis positifs sur tripadvisor, je vous recommande d’éviter ce restaurant si vous avez une langue et un palais fonctionnels. Le burger, véritable madeleine de Proust, m’a remémoré les meilleurs steak hachés en plastique du restaurant universitaire de la faculté de médecine de la Timone. Le pain à burger, servit froid, est si sec qu’il faudra prévoir un tube de vaseline pour pouvoir l’avaler. Mon voisin aura commandé un saumon qui n’a probablement jamais vu la mer de sa vie. En accompagnement une salade issue d’un sachet Liddle dont vous pourrez retrouvé un exemplaire plus copieux à la carte sous le nom de « vegetable salad ». Pour finir d’autres convives ont commandé du colin qui lui, à défaut d’avoir mauvais goût, n’avait pas de goût du tout. Je comprends la cause vegan quand je pense aux animaux morts pour être servis dans cet horrible restaurant . En bref si vous souhaitez bien manger dans le petit village de Plockton, je vous recommande de vous orientez vers d’autres restaurateurs.

Really enjoyed pur stay at the Plockton Inn. A great room and fabulous decor with a funky twist yet inkeeping with the surrounding landscape. Great food too.

Stayed here last year and enjoyed our stay so returned. Again very comfortable, friendly staff and excellent food. We will return again!

Could not fault our 2 night break in March. Staff were friendly and welcoming, our dog was treated like a VIP, local beer was delicious, food excellent, room comfortable and locals and fellow guests were friendly and entertaining. The scenery was wonderful with great walks from the doorstep and even the weather was good.

Lovely comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated with real attention to detail. Cleverly done as whole hotel modernised, immaculately clean but authentic feel. Staff obviously care and were very friendly. Dinner was a surprise, really top quality. The apple crumble was the best we have ever had. We had a lively time exploring Plockton and Raasay in a cold, windy but bright two days in February. The ferry from Sconsor was only 40 mins away. We will definitely come back.

We spent new year at The Plockton Inn ,staff went out of there way to make the 3 nights we were there comfortable and fun food was excellent the music on New Year’s Eve was the best looking forward to our next visit.

Our stay at the Plockton Inn was the best of our trip through the Highlands. The design of the rooms were great. You can tell there was significant care put into renovations. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We loved that our family room had its own garden. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. The dinner was lovely. The drinks were fabulous and the food delicious. We had great service and recommendations from the waitstaff. The breakfast was also delicious. Staying in Plockton was kind of random, but we are so glad to have gone. The town is gorgeous. In the months since our trip our whole group said Plockton was our best night.

The Plockton Hotel is a fantastic hotel, great staff and great restaurant. We stayed two nights and had the wheelchair accessible room which was excellent. The only criticism was that the bed was too large for the room which made moving around a little difficult. But still a fantastic place to stay and eat. Probably needs a steak on the menu for people who do not like seafood.

Had another amazing meal in the Plockton Inn last night. The food was so tasty and beautifully presented and the service was spot on from the lovely Debs and Ian behind the bar. Love the new decor in the former lounge ❤️

Nice cozy place for some nice food. They had some fancy dishes but at reasonable prices. I had the duck and it was very good. The staff was lovely.

We ate here on consecutive nights - food on the second was better than the first. Portions were smaller than elsewhere as well as more expensive, but still pretty good (and there seems to be little choice in the area). Service was OK. Very busy restaurant though where booking in advance is recommended.

Head chef has gone on holiday. Waiting 50 minutes for meal as they have run short in the kitchen. Meal not as good as ordered last week. A disaster in slow motion

What have they done to the menu. Famous seafood platter gine poor choice very disappointed stayed specially for restaurant and it isn't a patch on what it was

Great visit to the Plockton Inn. Really well presented accomodation in picturesque village. Had a lovely evening meal. Mussels were superb and slow roasted lamb also excellent. We also had cod dish which was first class. Breakfast in the morning was also excellent and service from the team was great and were all interested and engaging with us. Highly recommend location and hotel

Da Milano alle Hightlands una piacevole sorpresa. Ottimo cibo, personale gentile ed accogliente. Persino un buon espresso.

We stayed in the hotel and also booked dinner there (breakfast was included with our stay). All the dishes on the menu including the specials looked amazing. It was hard to choose. Then again, any choice would have been excellent, I’m sure. Very friendly service. Breakfast was nice as well. We can also recommend a stay at the hotel, very lovely room. So overall we had a great experience!

First visit since their renovation, enjoyed the new look in the bar and the restaurant. It now has a more upmarket seaside feel but not ostentatious in anyway. The restaurant is now a comfortable relaxing space. Service was extremely personable but was quite slow, however you have to factor in its August and the place is super busy. Loved the range of specials, appreciated that they are trying to offer a few different dishes and flavours from the typical menus. Wine list was pretty good too, and thankfully not that expensive. All the food was well executed and flavoursome, great cookery on the fish. Would be delighted to visit again.

Arrived and were taken to our table, service was excellent! The four us all agreed the food was superb. I had mussels followed scallops and pork belly, which was really very good!

Het is een prima hotel en geschikt als uitvalsbasis om het eiland Skye te bezoeken. Wij hadden een gezellig kamer in het hoofdgebouw, naast de achteringang. Het eten was lekker, maar duur; £35 voor een steak met frites en de drankjes héél duur: £18 voor een pint Guinness en een - weliswaar groot - glas witte wijn.

I really enjoyed the inn and the restaurant. We were in room six which was the highest one and a little bit tight for space. I could see in other rooms and they had much more floor space, and even desks. We had small suitcases, and can only open one on the floor at any given time. I was able to fit mine in the wardrobe, and my husband had to open his on the bed and then close it to put it at the side of the bed. Again, other rooms seem larger. The room had character in a lovely shower. The breakfast was excellent and I highly recommend the smoked fish plate. The restaurant was quite nice in the evening, although we didn't get Langostinos either night – fishing issues. The staff was very nice and the town was darling.

Delicious lunch and friendly staff made this a very pleasant experience. Our sandwiches were excellent and we look forward to sampling their evening seafood menu.

Una auténtica sorpresa. Esta pequeña posada es, sin duda, la mejor opción para una corta estancia en el encantador pueblo de Plockton. Cuidan hasta el mínimo detalle. Se nota que han renovado y adaptado el establecimiento recientemente. Es acogedor, cómodo y el descanso está garantizado. En cuanto al restaurante nos sorprendió el nivel tan alto y la oferta basada en productos locales. Cocina creativa y a la vez tradicional . El personal amable y servicial. Muchas gracias por hacer nuestra estancia tan agradble

Back after the Inns upgrade. Food was excellent but watch out for the wine........extortionate £31 for a bog standard pino available in the shop for £6. That's some mark up. Would definately return but have a pint rather than wine.

Plockton is a fabulous destination for seafood and, for us, this eatery took the (hard fought) crown. My langoustines had been landed the same day and were fresh as can be, and the mussels my husband and son had were the best they’d had in...

The dog friendly bar was very nice and modern. That’s where the good part of my review ends! The starter came very quickly and my husband enjoyed his clams though he thought they had a weird tasting sauce. I was looking forward to my 10...

So it’s a mixed story. Lovely service from good staff and really nice surroundings. Nice we have moved away from tartan everywhere yet display local art. The food was definitely a mixed bag. Nice buttery lamb and well prepared langoustines in garlic butter, trout cooked...

Fantastic stay at this quaint inn. The bed was comfortable. The pillows are plush. Beautiful bathroom. The shower was HUGE. There was a wee view of the loch. The sea bass and venison were delicious and beautifully presented to us. The Chilean sav blanc was...

Food was delicious. Service was lovely. Disappointed as the heart is no longer in the place. It definitely needed renovation but the changes are too corporate. Bring back the old Plockton Inn.

Pesce freschissimo, piatti abbondanti e molta scelta nel menù. Raramente si trovano in ristoranti di pari livello pesce di così...

Stayed here as I'd heard good things from colleagues about the accommodation and the food, and wasn't let down. Rooms are very clean and surprisingly spacious. The breakfast was tremendous, and fresh seafood for dinner well worth the trip alone. Would recommend.

We had a very nice evening meal here and took full advantage of the wonderful local seafood on offer, including king scallops, langoustines, monkfish and haddock. Very friendly and efficient service too. It's a tad pricey but the food is very good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. My scallops were delicious and prepared perfectly. The servers were friendly and attentive.

Nice enough place,good service but overpriced. £9 for a single malt! Main courses overpriced. Difficult to see how some prices are justified. Bit of a shame as food and service were good.

Wonderful dressed crab salad Good position of outdoor seating, some covered, for views over the bay Good selection of beers

Expensive prices, not unusual in the current climate. But clearly I paid extra for the rudeness I was shown. I ordered Cullen Skink as a starter, which was excellent. And the Plockton Prawns (starter size) as my main. Rather than prawns, I was delivered of...

Enjoyable lunch. Good friendly service. Excellent langoustine and mussels. Pricey but good quality and amount.Refurbishment needed

We had pre-booked and pre-ordered our food. When we arrived we ordered drinks, but they did not arrive. No explanation was offered when I went to the bar. The food started to arrive in a very random order. Some soup arrived, some did not, some...

Menu was awesome, staff great, food 5 Star.. Treat yourself if your in this area, it worth it. And take a stroll in the village afterwards and soak up this magnificent highland ambience.

I visited the Plockton Inn twice before (2016 and 2018). It was fantastic, tasty, good value for money and friendly. This time was strange on all accounts: - service was disorganised - food was ok but nothing exceptional - prices were overdone given the kind...

I was excited to be going back to the plockton inn after enjoying it several years ago but was very disappointed with our dining experience. The first surprise was the massive increase in pricing. We’d looked at their menu on their website before coming down...

The food was fine, though "fine" is as enthusiastic as I'd get about it. About as good as a mid-tier pub dinner, but priced well beyond that. Selling £6-7 bottles of wine for £31. Or £10 per glass in a grubby glass (the same ones...

Having been a regular for dinner in the Plockton Inn for the last 20 years we were feeling a bit nervous about going back to dine under new owners. But all we can say after tonight’s dinner, is wow. One of the best meals we...

After a very disappointing dinner on Saturday 25th June, we were encouraged by Manager Abi to return and give the Inn another chance. We returned for dinner on 30th June and were very impressed by the standard of food and level of service. The scallops...

What has happened to this place? We’ve been coming here for the last few years for food and drinks and since it’s been taken over it’s gone downhill. Our evening meals were cancelled due to covid issues but we managed to eat here for 1...

Lovely food and great hosts. Food was prepared in timely manner. The only let down was that one of our party was ill after the meal, we believe it was due to the chicken liver pate (as that’s the only thing that this person had...

Tired and unkempt. Just under new ownership - they have work to do. The new manager did welcome feedback and would give it another chance.

Friendly village pub for an evening meal, Make sure you book if travelling in the busy season as it seemed very popular. Hearty honest food.

This is a lovely restaurant - and only one of 2 in the area. well worth a visit, but booking is advised. If you have the langoustines, they are particularly messy, but thoroughly tasty. rem

We had a fabulous evening meal. Langoustine as a starter with garlic butter- delicious; king scallops in a creamy sauce (I had chips which went very well with the sauce), 6 enormous scallops well cooked and tasty; monkfish with asparagus, a generous portion; all washed...

Had just changed ownership and has not got their act together. No choices of draft ale etc. But a nice local inn.

This was the best meal I’ve had in Scotland so far. The gravadlax starter was wonderful, and as for the langoustines, I have no words… Best I’ve ever had. My husband also really enjoyed his mackerel fillet and lamb shank. Good wines and a great...

Great dog-friendly bar, lovely food, friendly atmosphere, quality staff and the highlight for me; Starboard! Ale from Plockton Brewery. We were staying for a week at The Shed, which is just a two minute walk away. Our dog, Glen, was made very welcome in the...

Wonderful small town atmosphere with friendly staff and great, fresh seafood. The bartender knows his whisky and they have a great selection. There are. Only a few places to eat in Plockton and we were so glad this was such good food. The sticky toffee...

Brilliant seafood lunch.... Mussels and langoustines were delicious. Burger was apparently excellent as well. Service was delightful. As a family we eat a lot of seafood and can easily say this was great quality and well cooked. Can't wait to come back!

We have just spent a week in Plockton and visited four times. One meal was disappointing and they had no real ale on tap. But two days later the locally-brewed real ale was 'on' and it was fantastic. My party of four had a good...

We visited last night. The table next to us were raving about the food and said they had driven an hour out of their way to have a meal at The Plockton Inn. How right they were!! The food was absolutely superb...cannot recommend it enough....

Have just returned from a short stay in Plockton,staying at the Inn close to the village centre. The whole experience was first class, the staff were very professional and friendly and made our visit a very pleasant experience , one we would be keen to...

The best cullen skink you will ever sample. Had the pork main which was also top notch. Great service and dog friendly which is always a bonus

The Plockton Inn is a "must" if you are visiting Plockton. Very friendly and helpful staff that would all go out of their way to make you feel special. Superb seafood and Scottish cuisine cooked to perfection. The attached photos reflect a very high quality....

We visited the Plockton Inn for dinner on a windy, wet October evening. It was great to retreat to the cosy indoors, and the staff were warm and welcoming. This was our first visit, and we were really impressed. We were seated in the separate...

We ate here a few times whilst staying in Plockton and have done for the past few years. We have always found that you can’t go wrong if you stick with the seafood. The Plockton prawns were delicious as was the fish pie and smoked...

This is a small pub, in a very small Highlands community; one wonders what some visitors expect in these places given some of the comments I've read about "tired decor" and the like.... Anyway. I'm here to tell you how good the Skate Wing in...

We'd been recommended to eat here and the food was great - seafood platter to start was delicious, followed by skate wing in brown butter. Excellent. However, the restaurant area itself is very tired looking and a bit dismal with a dark atmosphere, we left...

The best langoustines, simply cooked served hot with melted garlic butter. Then a perfect lemon sole with chips. Vanilla icecream with hot butterscotch sauce to finish. All perfect. You could order more complicated food from the menu, my friends did, and they were very happy...

Had a surprisingly good dinner here- wasn’t expecting much in this off-the-beaten path inn, but the food was well prepared and tasty. Seafood options were beyond fresh and tasty - had my first try of what I think was Cullen skink - it wasn’t called...

Stunning food. Lively but relaxed atmosphere. A warm and efficient welcome and a bustling bar. The food was quite superb and the service faultless. The oysters were everything an oyster should be and my Halibut in brill and cream sauce one of the best dishes...

Plockton was recommended to us whilst on our NC500 Tour. It’s important to say the weather for our day here wasn’t good, grey, wet and miserable, so not conducive for positive thoughts. The bay - location is lovely but it’s a small community so B&B...

Stayed here and the room was great, basic but very clean, wonderful hot, powerful shower. The guy servicing the rooms and serving breakfast is lovely, along with everyone else (except one bartender in the evening). Had a good meal, shared starter then prawns and scallops....

We stopped in for lunch and were really pleased with the service and food. All the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered the cauliflower soup, mixed seafood starter, skate wing and halibut - all so tasty and great portion sizes. Would...

We ate here twice whilst staying in Plockton and the food is exquisite. We were very lucky to get booked in as they are very busy so it is advisable to book ahead but will be worth it. The staff are friendly and welcoming and...

Worth every penny you spend from your pocket. The restaurant and chef serve exactly what you have ordered. It’s fresh locally sourced and delectable . So good I have booked us for dinner tomorrow night. I wish they continue to serve this way as they...

Wow! what a fantastic meal. Restaurant was busy but we were still served in a timely manner by the welcoming and friendly staff. Myself and my partner both had starts and a main. One of the best meals we've had. That salmon with seaweed and...

One of the nicest meals I've had for a long time. Had the prawns and skate. Wonderful little place I will be back Outstanding

We were passing by Plockton for lunch during our journey from Inverness to Skye. There seemed to be very few restaurants in Plockton, and even fewer that were open for lunch. Not being particularly convinced by any of the options, I made a booking at...

Dinner was the seafood sample plate, a specials board sea bass with mussels sauce and the cranachan ice cream for dessert. Service was very good and I enjoyed the meal. The cask conditioned beer was also very good.

Took a wee detour to Plockton to see the harbour etc and went up to the Plockton Inn to see if we could get a table. No tables inside but we sat on the terrace and had a nice bite to eat and a drink....

Great meal. Came here for dinner and had a wonderful meal. We had the seafood sharing starter followed by scallops and mussels. It was so fresh and absolutely delicious. The menu choices were good and there was also a good selection of wines. Great service...

Had an evening meal here Saturday 14th August. The smoked mackerel in the salad was very crisp. Disappointed that the pasta with the venison ragu wasn’t fresh, for the price it should have been. Crannachan ice cream very good. Friendly staff but one of the...

We ate a spectacular lunch here with our family and friends. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the staff could not have been more helpful. The seafood platter had a generous selection of local delicacies and my sole with smoked salmon was perfect. Gluten free options...

Good food and good service. The salmon was very tasty as well as the Crannachan ice cream. We enjoyed the meal and would go back.

We had a lovely family meal here after a long day exploring Skye and Eileen Donan. The food was generally very good. High quality, plentiful and served promptly. The service was generally very good - though some staff were more attentive than others. The atmosphere...
