Pet-friendly hotel with harbour views - Gateway to the NC500 and Wester Ross
Rooms
The hotel offers well-appointed ensuite rooms, some with views across Gairloch Harbour towards the Isle of Skye. Family rooms and twin/double options are available, with select rooms featuring a separate downstairs entrance for guests travelling with dogs. Each pet-friendly room includes a dog bed, food and water bowls, and the beds are comfortable - though some rooms have two single beds pushed together rather than a true double.
Amenities
An honesty bar allows guests to serve themselves drinks from the lounge, with a simple self-service system. The hotel has extensive landscaped gardens and outdoor areas for relaxing, plus a drying room for wet gear after Highland walks. A large car park with free parking and free Wi-Fi are available on-site, and the lounge offers board games and books.
Dining
Breakfast is served in a room with panoramic views, using a pre-order system to reduce waste - hot items are ordered the evening before and supplemented by a self-service buffet of cereals, cheese, ham, and yogurt. For evening meals, guests receive a discount at the sister hotel, the Old Inn, which is a 5-minute walk away and offers seafood and fish dishes. Packed lunches can be arranged, and a packed lunch can be requested for day trips.
Location
Gairloch Highland Lodge sits on the outskirts of Gairloch, a short walk from the harbour and beach, and is a key stop on the NC500 route. Nearby attractions include Inverewe Garden, Victoria Falls, and the Gairloch Museum, all within a few miles. Outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and golf are accessible, and boat trips depart from Gairloch Harbour.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are welcome in designated rooms and can even accompany guests to breakfast at a separate table. The hotel provides a dog bed, water and food bowls in the room, and the surrounding area offers walks right from the doorstep. Pet owners are asked not to leave dogs unattended in the room, and the sister hotel (Old Inn) is also dog-friendly for evening dining.
