Assynt
Kylesku Hotel Restaurant
An inn by the old ferry slipway at Kylesku, with a restaurant of local seafood and croft-reared meat and a bar of single malts, looking over Loch Glendhu.
Welcome
At the end of the little village of Kylesku, where the ferry used to land before the bridge was built, a grey timber-clad inn sits on the rocky shore of Loch Glendhu, its reflection doubled in the still water.
The Kylesku Hotel is one of the great stops on the road through the far north-west.
The restaurant is all about what is close at hand: shellfish straight from the loch, fish from the nearby coast, and pork and beef from the crofts around, sustainably produced wherever possible. Window tables look right out over the loch and the hills.
The bar is relaxed and welcoming, with a fine collection of single malts, local ales and Scottish gins. There are rooms in the hotel and at Kylesku House nearby. The restaurant opens every day from late morning until late evening.
