You'll find Poolewe Hotel set in the picturesque village of Poolewe on the shore of Loch Ewe, near Gairloch, in Portree, Isle of Skye. Originally a coaching inn, the principal building dates from 1570, and the hotel offers a resident's bar, restaurant, EV charging point and guest parking. The dining room looks toward Inverewe Gardens, clearly visible from the hotel dining room, and during the second world war senior naval personnel were accommodated here while Arctic convoys assembled in the loch. You can enjoy hill walking using maps available in the hotel, alongside fishing, whale watching and other pursuits. Nearby, visit the Gairloch Outdoor Museum and the Russian Arctic Convoy Museum.
