Pool House

Food & Drink

The dining room at Pool House is called ‘North by North West - named after the hotel’s geographical position. Located close to the river and the sea, guests can often observe seals, otters and a wide variety of birds whilst dining.

Full dinner is available twice a week, with informal dining available on the other evenings such as platters of fresh locally caught seafood and shellfish. There is also a delightful barbecue house for al fresco dining overlooking the bay.

In the summer evenings the dining room is illuminated by the vivid colours of the glorious sunsets for which Scotland’s west coast is famed for.

Our head chef, Will Hay has worked with some of Britain’s leading names including Gary Rhodes. As head chef at various establishments within the Rhodes & Co. Group Will also assisted Gary Rhodes in writing one of his best selling cookbooks.. Will's commitment to using the finest Scottish produce and local ingredients is reflected in the very appetising menu featuring Tortellini of Squat Lobster with Rabbit Kidneys, Poached Fillet of Scottish Beef with Cannelonni of Veal Breast and a Croquette of Pigs Trotter, Osso Bucco of Monkfish with Morels , Red Wine Poached Turbot with Pomme Mousseline Spinach.

Caramelised Puff Pastry with Poached Pear Spiced Red Wine Syrup and Lime Leaf Panna Cotta, and a selection of Scottish Cheeses with Chutney of Quince Walnut Toast and Handmade Oatcakes are just a few of the options to complete a delightful evening meal.

The North by North West Dining Room has been featured in Lady Claire Macdonald's new book "Scottish Highland Hospitality" as being one of her top 20 places to dine in the Highlands and Islands.
