Holidays are so very important these days: A time to recharge our batteries, and re-awaken ourselves to the more natural side of life. Any of the Gairloch hotels are well placed for you to take advantage of the beautiful surroundings. Feel the soft sea breeze on your cheek, the sand playing gentle between your fingers, and the sun warming your back; hunt for shells, build sand castles; fly a kite; dive with the jelly fish that enjoy the warmth of the Gulf Stream; go bird watching; sailing, with the swell of the sails and the spray of the salt on your lips; fishing for sea trout and salmon; but most of all, feeling free and alive again. Throw off the shackles of humdrum holidays and see seals and dolphins play in the water from a golden sandy beach that you could pretend was all your own, with no one to disturb you. Gairloch was a very popular Victorian holiday resort, with travellers arriving by boat from the south, and enjoying, as we do today, the serenity and calm of this beautiful location. Today there is a superb golf course, as well as horse riding and pony trekking, and amazing walking trails through the surrounding mountains.
In Victorian times the visitors to the area stayed in the grand Gairloch Hotel, built in 1872, which still stands proudly on the shore and welcomes guests with a wonderful charisma and charm. We have selected for you the best accommodation in the area to help you make the most of a sublime holiday, in this absolutely delightful and tranquil area.
Naturally all the accommodation options that are featured here are excellent by any standards, and you will find a warm Highland welcome in all of them, no matter how big or bijoux they are. You will find ample parking space for your vehicles, and your hotel may also have a safe lockable area for bikes, surfboards, pushchairs, and other sporting goods that you may have with you. Take advantage of the fresh air and delightful scenery, and ask for a room with a stunning view, there are plenty of them to choose from. Your hosts will be more than willing to assist you with special requirements that you may have for your stay such as diet or access, and of course it's always a good idea to mention these at the time of booking.
Your hotel may have a restaurant or bar for lunches and evening meals, but with a copious Highland full cooked breakfast to accompany your stay, you could be full up for the rest of the day. All the local produce is of the finest quality: Try real Scots porridge, the way it's meant to be eaten.
