Restaurants
There are several places to eat nearby and we've listed a few of them below.
We do our best to keep the opening dates and times up to date. Due to Covid-19 restrictions some restaurants were closed in 2020 or serving takeaways only. We will update this page as and when we learn of plans for 2021. We have included links to their websites to make it easy to make your own enquiries as the situation is constantly changing. We will also do our best to send the latest details prior to your stay.
Most of them are on TripAdvisor so you can check them out there too.
We recommend booking/ordering before you arrive to avoid disappointment.
Many places operate shorter opening hours (or close completely) between October and the end of April,
so it's always a good idea to enquire ahead.
Scourie Hotel
The Scourie Hotel is just a few minutes walk away and is open to non-residents from around Easter until the first week in October.
There are two options when eating here;
Option 1 is a 4 course dinner in a single sitting at 7.30pm so we recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
Option 2 is their Eagle Bar where they serve food in the evenings from 6.00pm until 8.30pm. Booking will also be required in the bar in 2021 due to social distancing measures.
