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.

The property also has outdoor furniture and ample free parking, making it easy for guests traveling with animals.

History & Awards
