Stayed in Glenelg last week and went to eat at the Glenelg Inn on our first night as it's the only place around without driving 20 mins back over the hill! First impressions very good, however attitude of the barman was distinctly off and he seemed to favour socialising with the locals rather than serving! When we did get served... More

Stopped here for lunch with a large group of 20+, however we had booked in advance. The staff were not unpleasant but service was merely functional not stunning. My order was taken incorrectly and I had to wait until the entire party had finished eating before mine arrived with a simple "Sorry wrong order". The wait at the bar was... More

Food was ok but expensive for what it was. Needs revamping and cleaned up a bit. Fantastic location and would love to be able to recommend it but its not nearly as good as some of the reviews have stated.

This is a very attractive looking pub/ hotel from the outside and inside there is an equally attractive pub with friendly staff. We were able to eat outside in the garden. The food is high quality at reasonable prices with an emphasis on local fish/ shellfish. I was driving so did not drink any of the beers but my companions... More

The glenelg inn is an inn that is located very nicely on the whatershore wit nice views, as being an in the attached pub is a very nice place to eat or have a drink. Food quality is excellent. In short very recomendable to stay for a few nights as the surroundings also havea lot to offer and explore

We visited the glenelg inn several times for dinner and drinks during our stay in the vilage. The food was wonderful. Fresh seafood was always available. The eating area and bar itself is cosy and has a fantastic friendly atmosphere. There is a big log fire and patio doors into a wonderful beer garden with breath taking views.

I stopped here for lunch on the way to Skye. The menu wasn't over-long and I think if you didn't like seafood you would have found the choice a bit limited. That said, I had a huge bowl of lovely mussels, and a well-kept pint of Caledonian 80/- (there were three real ales on tap). Recommended if you fancy a... More

This is in a most beautiful position overlooking the Sound of Sleat and the Skye hills, reached by a lovely narrow road across the hills. Friendly people and a nice room let down by touches like missing light bulbs and a see-through bathroom blind falling in pieces. Very quiet location . ( not the pub !)Food is OK - good... More

This review is just about the bar, which looks absolutely cosy but since we were almost ignored when we came in and it seemed that both service people didn't care about any new guests we left straight! We would love to come back and have dinner at this place but please dear service people - learn to smile and to... More

Stayed here for three fabulous days. The scenery is outstanding as you would expect. The hostelry was just what it should be, welcoming, warm, non judgemental and cosy. The food was quite simply sublime. Natural, locally caught and prepared seafood which gives a flavour of the sea without being masked by the cooking. The scallops were the best ever. Great... More
