The Clachan in Highland

We have been to the Clachan many times. The atmosphere is great and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is also exceptional! Would highly recommend.

Personale molto gentile e disponibile, il pub è piccolino e si riempie subito. Abbiamo atteso 30’min. quindi consiglio in alta stagione di arrivare prima… abbiamo preso una zuppa del giorno molto buono (7£), un trio (salmone affumicato, salmone cotto e 3 cozze) con insalatina, un Fish e chips (18£) non dei migliori assaggiati sinceramente ma le patatine molto buone. Totale in due 41£

Très bon repas dans ce pub tout près de Eilean Donan Castle. Le plat à base de Haggis est à tomber. Le sticky stuffy pudding également Le fish and chips et le plateau de fromages aussi Nous recommandons vivement mais pas de réservation. Il faut y venir de bonne heure 18h pour être sûr d'avoir une table.

Estrema gentilezza che ci ha consentito di cenare poco prima della chiusura della cucina (21). Cibo locale ottimo! Consigliato il salmone! Musica e intrattenimento tipico di un pub scozzese di paese. Garanzia “like a local al 100%”. E se volete conoscere gente… una punta al bancone!

Delicious food and a good range of drinks in the local pub. All 3 of us were delighted with our choices and portion size was good.

We were staying nearby and went two nights in a row at the urging of a neighbor there. I had a meat pie and the crust was magic ... as was the Smoky Old Fashioned. Superb. This was one of the best restaurants in our tour around Scotland. I long to go back, and we DID find the staff very friendly and accommodating. Very busy and for good reason, so do book before going there.

My family stayed in Dornie for two nights. We ate at the Clachan Pub for dinner both nights. The food was great, and the staff was amazing. With five people eating two meals, we sampled most of the menu. It was all very good!

We didn’t even know the existence of this place because we’ve arrived the same moment just for a fast visit. It was the only open pub, I asked if there was the possibility of a table and the waitress asked me if I booked a table. I said I didn’t because obviously we weren’t from here and also that everything else was close so we didn’t have got anywhere else to go. The answer was the same “we did have to book”

Well there are almost no alternatives in the vicinity.... The place is busy so do make a reservation. The staff is friendly and trying to be helpful. Still we got the feeling we are just the next (best) customer. The selection of bar food is okay. The quality is average, unfortunately not the price. Would we go again? Most likely not.

Wonderful atmosphere and great food. We even had impromptu folk music on both times we visited. Would highly recommend booking as many without reservations were turned away

During our visit to Skye we had dinner at The Clachan on two successive nights. Our party of four tried most of the entree items were totally satisified with each meal. The Sticky Toffee Pudding is absolutely fabulous. We highly recommend this place.

I had seafood starters for starter and main and my wife had a panco chicken burger. We shared a banana sticky toffee pudding. Everything was fresh and delicious with friendly service in a bar frequented by locals (always a good sign). As we have a holiday home locally we will be very happy to return frequently. Happy to recommend to all comers!

Lovely local pub in Dornie we visited with friends over new year and stayed close by It is 2 minutes walk to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. Friendly owners and bar staff the chef has a great reputation. Would recommend as a great pit stop. Checking opening times online

We came one evening when the Fish & Chips van was there, we took our meal inside and had a drink. Good atmosphere. Good solution for food some nights to deal with staff shortage in the area.

The Clachan bar is excellent. We visited three times during our week in Dornie. The food was fantastic, the staff were really friendly - and the music on the Tuesday evening made for a great night out. A “must-visit” if you are in the area.

We had an evening meal during our one night stay in Dornie, The food was really good, service was warm and friendly. It really lifted our experience of a difficult day .

We stayed at a house nearby for a week so visited the Clachan several times whilst we were there. They offer evening meals several nights a week (check the board for details of when) and are open every day from 4pm for drinks. The Clachan had a music night when we were there which was really good, and they had a fish and chip van outside serving fresh seafood and fish and chips on the nights the kitchen was closed. We booked a table for our last night and the menu was classic and simple with choices for everyone, each meal was cooked to perfection, lovely and fresh with generous portions. The pub gets very busy, both with tourists and locals and we could see why as the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was brilliant. The nicest pub in the area for sure, we are looking forward to coming back.

Lovely food, friendly atmosphere, efficient service. Would easily recommend, and will definitely be back. Booking recommend to ensure space for reservation as it is a popular place.

We had dinner tonight at Clachan Pub with Burger, Garlic chicken and Monkfish as main course and the soup of the day as starter and strawberry cheesecake as dessert, really delicious and very friendly personell, would always come again and thanks for squeezing us in;...

They couldn’t not be more friendly and helpful. Dietary requirements covered. Staff are amazing food was equally amazing. We will be back!!

A great local with good service, friendly staff and fabulous food. Great to see a wee pub full again with locals and tourists. We reserved our table for 4 adults and 2 kids for 6pm. Limited kids menu but absolutely fine for a 3 year...

Excellent atmosphere and food Scallops and langoustines were tasty and well prepared Fish and chips as well as monkfish were also very good To be recommended without reserve

We visited this amazing restaurant yesterday evening and words cannot describe how wonderful the food and service was. This cosy restaurant serves up delicious home cooked food using the finest ingredients. Having visited several Michelin star restaurants the food was truly comparable. Very reasonably priced...

Booked this based on reviews and not disappointed. Food amazing…..sadly back home to Cornwall tomorrow but next time we’re up we’ll defo be back

A very warm welcome with great tasting food. Lovely views. If staying in area it’s worth a visit. Need to book for food always busy.

What a lovely surprise to find a small local pub with such a fantastic chef! The food was to die for - venison steaks done to perfection. We never uttered a word to each other whilst eating which is high praise indeed and has never...

Stopped off by chance and was pleasantly surprised. A modest looking place although brightly painted. Very spacious inside and comfortable. Not a great choice of beer but the food was really good. We’ve lowered our expectations everywhere these days but this place is an exception...

We had two excellent meals here during our stay nearby. Lovely food with a good choice of dishes (more than you’d typically get in a pub). Staff were very friendly and the service was flawless. Definitely recommend! They were very busy so make sure you...

My wife and I were staying in a nearby B&B where we have stayed many times. Called in to hotel for a drink on Friday evening but we hadn’t booked a table and it was very busy. The staff team made sure we got a...

Tasty food, good value, nice wine. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, we had duck, poussin and lamb,all were delicious and portions were good, Definitely returning.

Cosy local pub. The staff were friendly, welcomed our dog and they had angostura bitters at the bar. My ham hough and pea terrine was delicious, the cider- glazed poussin was tender and full of flavour, would certainly eat there again. Massive telly was a...

We were staying close by so made this our local pub for a drink after a day of exploring and also had dinner on the Friday. The pub is welcoming with friendly staff and locals. As we visited outside of the season food was only...

What you would expect from a small local pub! Not the nicest looking interior but the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was worth the visit! Would recommend you book in advance! Would definitely go back!

Mid-winter is not the best time to find places open in this relatively remote place so choosing this place for a meal was more necessity than choice! But, what a good choice it was with a charming ambience, cosy bar with tables and an interesting...

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Only serving food Fri-Sun due to January/covid but menu looked excellent.

We were suggested this place to eat by the campsite we stayed at. So walked across the bridge. When we arrived the barman said the kitchen was shut. So decided to just go in for one drink. Just as we got settled the barman came...

Turned up an hour early due to circumstances (largely) outside my control. No problem for the staff who were flexible and found a table for me. Food was great (lovely fish and chips) and they had localish beer. Locals friendly and I even joined some...

Well, I’m a 59 year old curmudgeon, so naturally when I read the reviews I thought the food can’t be that good. Wrong. Food was fantastic, so different from the usual “highland fayre”. Service was excellent too, very attentive. Book or suffer. I have taken...

Lovely friendly cosy inn, busy every night with a fun mix of locals and visitors alike. Fabulous food (especially the super fresh langoustines) great service from the manageress who made sure we didn’t have to wait too long for our meal despite a very large...

It would be very unfair of me to in any way criticise the food or the location as both looked amazing. However the fact remains that we were massively disappointed. We were travelling to the area from Manchester, a trip of some 350 miles. My...

Unfortunately for us we visited this place on the last night of our stay in Dornie. Had we found it earlier without doubt we would have been back for more! There were 6 of us in our party and every meal was absolutely delicious. The...

Five of us had a delicious meal at the Clachan, I'd particularly recommend the scallops and the monkfish.

Was a great treat to have something different! Soup of the day is always vegan, had Pea, potato and leek which was delish! The Vegan platter was massive, vegan cheese, salad, Mediterranean veg, tempura veg, fries and pear, all with great dressings. Chocolate fudge cake...

Great welcome, nice table squeezed next to the bar. Good beer with decent menu. I had the Steak and Venison Casserole and my wife had the pan-grilled garlic chicken. Not too long a wait, great food, full of flavour and good portion. Well priced and...

Amazing food, great atmosphere and friendly service - seafood platter and venison were perfect! Highly recommended.

Excellent service, amazing food, helpful and friendly staff. Gluten free option for starter, main and dessert.

We were a demanding family of 7 but our every whim was attended to efficiently and pleasantly. We were staying in Dornie for a week but we were so impressed by this establishment that we dined with them for 4 nights. The staff were extremely...

Had a lovely meal tonight with family and friends could not fault anything and lovely helpful staff will be back soon 😊

We visited the Clachan twice during our week long stay in Dournie. Firstly, we went on Tuesday night for the live music evening, it was fantastic! Secondly we went for a meal, the food was Incredible, even for our vegan daughter. The staff are very...

Amazing! Just popped in out of the rain for a quick drink on a walk with the dog at 6pm. Tried the local gin and then moved on to starters! Amazing food! Every dish that came out looked stunning! A bottle of wine and 2...

Staying nearby and looking for somewhere to eat, a local recommended The Clachan - we were not disappointed! When we rang to enquire about reserving a table we were told to "roll in and roll out, no need to book" so as we approached the...

This pub is beyond lovely. Delicious food, good wine and the best service. A view if you sit outside and an overall great atmosphere.

Fantastic wee pub in Lochalsh. If you like langoustines you won’t get any fresher. You might even see them being landed in the evening. I had the steak and red wine pie for my main meal. One of the tastiest pies I’ve ever eaten. Pastry...

I recently rented a cottage at Inverinate in Kyle of Lochalsh. Before going I decided to book a meal for our last night, and discovered the Clachan in adorned a couple of miles away. We drove through Donnie and saw the pub/restaurant from the outside,...

Fabulous staff. Most enjoyable evening. They couldn’t do enough for us even though they were very busy.

Just AMAZING. Service was fast Staff are efficient and professional The food 5 star So relaxed and friendly Highly recommended

I was here with my fiancé for a meal, and we were blown away! Steak pie was the best I've tasted. The staff were amazing too! Place was rammed which is always a good sign 😊

Booked a table as there was 8 of us , from the minute we arrived service was first class even although they were very busy . 6 had scallops starter ( amazing ) then we all had different mains , Diane & David had the...

Fantastic place to eat, all the staff are friendly and helpful, the food is fantastic, well worth a visit, the langoustines on the starter menu to die fir and the steak just melted in your mouth.

Great meal. Lovely Vegan platter. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very friendly pub with a great atmosphere.

Came up from London to visit relatives after such a long time. They told us about this place that had just been taken over and wanted to try it. I have to admit we were there every night and were never disappointed by anything we...

I would recommend the Clachan, Dornie 100%. Our group consisted of 4 adults and toddler. Superb attentive staff were brilliant and the meal was to die for. Great selection of everything. We will definitely be back often

My husband and I absolutely loved this pub. The food was some of the best we’ve had in Scotland so far on our trip and the staff were all very lovely. The roast monkfish tail in particular was delicious. Would highly recommend!

We were staying in the Air BNB opposite the clachan so decided to pop for a drink .. We ended up eating here the same night and both visits were out of this world . From the staff to the gin and then the food...

We visited the clachan tonight as a family of 4, very accommodating place the staff were welcoming and very friendly and efficient, nothing was a problem. Really cosy west highland pub. The food was out of this world and very well priced. We will certainly...

Lovely wee restaurant, I had the the pan fried duck, and wife had the burger, both were Beautiful dishes. Our dog Jeffrey loved the staff too.

We visited the Clachan bar tonight which was recently taken over by new management. The food was of very high quality at reasonable prices. Very friendly and efficient staff. Would recommend to all.

Ah first of all, This pub has had a make over, amazing what some paint and a great team can achieve. The staff are very friendly and all covid rules in place. Our drinks and meal arrived quickly too. Now the food, what a great...

My partner and I had dinner here last night! Could not fault anything, food was delicious, staff were charming, what more can I say. We'll be back.

This pub was great it was so authentic and genuine. The staff were lovely and helpful even though they were totally overwhelmed with staff shortages and more and more customers, they polite and professionalism they maintained all evening. The food was pretty good as well...

We couldn't recommend this place enough. We arrived as service for meals had just finished but they still offered us a meal. We had a very long walk from Balamacara where we were staying and the young girl behind the bar offered us a lift...

We had dinner in this pub yesterday. It was a cozy pub and it had a good atmosphere! It was crowded, and the girl behind the bar worked really hard and efficiënt. We ordered our food and had a really nice meal! Fantastic steak and...

Great food - steak pie to be recommended- and good portion sizes. Friendly atmosphere and nice to see the male staff wearing kilts!

I had a dinner with my wife. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Beers and ciders were also good. The food is really below average. Se had cheese burgers and it was one of the saddest that i've ever eaten. Very bland in taste...

Maybe we caught them on a bad night when the place was full but it took over an hour for the meal to arrive. Food average. Great staff. Very apologetic!

Stopped in the village here for a week ,on our first night we ate here 4 of us dined .The hospitality service etc could not be faulted and a credit to all involved. Our downside was the food quality .The traditional Haggis dish was nothing...

We visited this pub for evening meal, it was early and so very quiet, the staff were friendly with a nice greeting. The menu is fairly limited, I chose haggis, neaps and tattles a truly traditional Scottish dish? Mine came the haggis having being formed...

Quick and delightful service. Well stocked bar. The bar is bigger than it looks and the area is beautiful.

We ate at the Clachan (pronounced Clah-Han) twice during our visit to the area and had a great experience each time. The staff were friendly and remembered us upon our second arrival. The food is delicious and they have a great drink selection.

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious traditional food. Nothing too fancy or pretentious, just hearty, filling, well made comfort food. Exactly what my family and I were looking for on a damp, chilly May evening. Located a stones through from Eilean Donan Castle in the...

Four of us had dinner here two nights running and really enjoyed our meal. Our only criticism was that it would have been nice to have had the opportunity to have fresh fish.

My steak and ale pie had a frozen puff pastry crust cooked blind on top of a pie filling that had load of real carrots and celery with not a lot of steak the frozen mini carrots were surpassed by the green beans and fresh...

We had dinner over there on our stay to Dornie. Very nice staff. The food was excellent and very typical from Scotland. The Scottish music that was played was very nice as well.

Our tour group stopped by for a drink after touring Eilean Donan and found it to be charming with a friendly staff. If we were staying in the area, I would have gone back.

Typically Highland Scottish decor! Patient bar-lady guided us through a couple of their Scottish whiskeys, that set us up for a straight forward meal that was tasty and filling.

We ate here for dinner as it was close to our B&B. Arrived just in time to get a table. The staff were friendly although we had to wait some time for the main course. Well situated, easy to find and could walk around Eilean...

Was here on Friday the 10 th august for a family meal while in dornie for a family wedding quaint wee pub food was amazing

Superb meal amd hospitality received very freindly pub and staff do tge best to feed everyone who turns up.. May have to wait for a short while for a table but the food is worth it, I tecommend the Guiness Pie had it two days...

Food is very good, well prepared, tasty and typical. Staff are great, pricing is mostly reasonable. TV on the ceiling is great fun!

We went into The Clachan for an evening meal. It was quiet when we arrived but was soon v busy. The staff were friendly and attentive. The meals were served quickly and were v tasty. It had a lovely atmosphere and I would recommend it.

Reasonably priced, friendly staffand lovely fresh vegetables. Good option for the arrival night at our apartment in walking distance.

The desserts cost as much as our whole meal. We didn't realize this until the check came. Ridiculous!!!

Stayed in a room bed and breakfast at the home of the owners. Lovely en- suite room, very clean. 5 mins walk to Eilean Donan Castle. Fab views and great breakfast. Lovely people. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for your hospitality...

We came here to eat dinner. A very cosy pub with a nice variation of drinks. It was quite crowded when we came so make sure to come early or reserve a table. The meal was lovely as was the desert.

I dropped in late after a very long day of driving and seeing sights. Ate some chips and drank a beer at the bar. The bartender was friendly as was the couple next to me. Wish I had more energy to stay but had a...

My family and I recently had the good fortune to visit The Clachan in Dornie, it's beautifully situated with stunning views, friendly, helpful staff and a wonderful menu. I ordered the Balmoral Chicken - delightful, I only wish I lived nearer so that I could...

Although the main courses were very average (stock cube mushroom casserole and dry chicken breast), the desert was FABULOUS and honestly the best sticky toffee pudding I've ever had! Staff were super friendly, drinks were good and the ambiance was very cosy and pleasant. Good...

A busy and friendly pub, not bad for a drink and natter in the sunshine, but also not remarkable in any way. The food is OK but again not remarkable (or especially cheap). On the other hand, if the owner wanted to develop a foodie...

Fantastic place to eat and drink with some great choices of Ale and Whisky. The food choice is a little limited although there was something for everyone. The staff where very helpful, kind and was on the ball throughout the evening was as there. The...

The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. We enjoyed tasty dinners on the two evenings we ate there. I particularly enjoyed the mushroom and ale pie - not something I'd come across before. They had a good range of malt whiskies to choose from...
