What We Say

I can make all kinds of extravagant claims for my inn, but the opinions which matter are those of my guests - the ordinary people who sign my Visitors' Book and the professional writers and critics whose living it is to visit restaurants and hotels. Recently, I have been refurbishing and upgrading the inn in an attempt to retain its character and charm whilst providing the best hospitality I can with food that is good but not over the top. That's all; there is no drama to it. I am very fortunate, however; I have a great team behind me, a young staff who give me a lot of support and who are great fun to be with. What I especially enjoy is a working environment that is second to none, that and the support of my friends, the people of Applecross Peninsula, who, as one couple from Colorado said, are "lively and lovely".

Chefs at the Applecross Inn always try to use local produce on their menus, this includes of course the seafood from Applecross Bay itself, Prawns, Squat Lobster, Crab and Lobster, Local Scallops, Oysters, Mussels and Smoked  Salmon. Applecross Estate Venison and as much garden produce as possible, veg, fruit, and herbs. Cheeses come in from the West Highland Dairy.

The Chefs produce a variety of specials for our blackboard menu, which changes daily – if you can see past the haddock & chips or Applecross Bay prawns. To finish there are a gre-at selection of homemade puddings.

As quoted by Monty Hall in
BBC's Montys Great Escape:
“Three reasons to visit Scotland, Edinburgh,
Stirling Castle and The Applecross Inn."

We would like to remind residents that the Applecross Inn is a lively bar and this does generate some noise, which can be heard in the bedrooms. Also please note that the bedrooms do not have T.V.s, only CD radio alarms.

We serve meals all day from 12 noon to 9pm.

Please Note: We book tables for residents automatically discussing time on arrival, and also for parties of six or over, (which must be for 6pm or 8pm during the season on Friday and Saturday evenings).

All others are seated in turn on arrival, it is better to avoid peak times as we serve a full menu all day.
