The Lochcarron Hotel, Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands

The Lochcarron Hotel is a family-run hotel standing in a superb loch side position with magnificent mountain and sea views. It is located in the village of Lochcarron in the heart of Wester Ross on the West Coast of mainland Scotland, one of the most beautiful areas of the UK which featured in the recent BBC2 series "Monty Halls' Great Escape". Applecross, where Monty and his dog, Reub, made their home in the series, is only some 18 miles from here and is reached via the spectacular Bealach na Ba, the Pass of the Cattle, views of which appeared several times in the TV series.

The hotel has 11 bedrooms, all with private facilities and one having wheel chair access and an en suite wet room (More information). There is a homely lounge bar with a welcoming open fire and a comfortable restaurant from which there are stunning views across Loch Carron. The hotel is open to non-residents and good food is served in the lounge bar as well as the restaurant. Seafood is a speciality and is locally sourced whenever possible. There is usually a choice of at least 2 traditional real ales served on handpump as well as a wide selection of some 60 single malt whiskies. We accept most major credit and debit cards. We now have free wi-fi Internet access available throughout the hotel.
