Award-winning historic inn in Glencoe with over 400 malt whiskies
Dining & Bars
Clachaig Inn offers three award-winning bars, including the Boots Bar, which features live music and a wood-burning stove. The bar selection includes over 400 malt whiskies and a rotating choice of craft ales, with the brewery on site for some of these beers. The restaurant serves local Scottish dishes-such as haggis, neeps, and tatties-alongside vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, with an electric vehicle charging station for guests who drive.
Accommodation
Family rooms in the inn feature mountain views, private bathrooms, and daily housekeeping services. For guests seeking more space, the hotel provides luxurious self-catering chalets located within walking distance of the main building. All accommodations are non-smoking and offer heating, with some rooms designated as pet-friendly.
Activities & Location
Guests have direct access to on-site hiking, skiing, and fishing in the surrounding Glencoe landscape, with trails starting from the parking lot. The inn sits 3.9 km from the Massacre of Glencoe memorial and 13 km from Loch Linnhe, with Ben Nevis Whisky Distillery less than 15 km away. A children's playground and kids' outdoor play equipment are available on the property, along with live music performances several times a week.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Clachaig Inn welcomes dogs in its two bars-the Boots Bar and the main bar-and in designated guest rooms. Pet bowls are provided, and the hotel offers packed lunches for walkers who want to take their dogs on the trails. The property also has outdoor furniture and ample free parking, making it easy for guests traveling with animals.
History & Awards
The inn has operated as a coaching inn for several hundred years, serving travelers through the Highlands since the 18th century. It was named Best Walkers Pub in the UK by Trail Magazine and received TGO Awards for Best Outdoor Bars in the UK. The hotel's three bars each have a distinct character, with the Boots Bar recognized specifically for its climber-friendly atmosphere and malt whisky collection.
