A warm welcome is extended to climbing and fell-walking clubs and we offer a discount for young children. Wedding buffets can be catered for and we also offer meals to non-residents by advance booking.
We enjoy cooking and maintain a fine wine cellar, so the accent is very much on home-made meals, and we provide an excellent dinner served in the comfort of our dining room. Our chef who has been with us for 12 years serves a wide selection of home-cooked food using the finest local produce, to satisfy your appetite after a day of activity. Over the years, we have also gathered quite a collection of Scottish Whiskies, along with our beverages on tap.

Residents Lounge
Relax your senses as you enjoy the sound and aroma of an open log fire burning in the resident’s lounge. The lounge is spacious and comfortable for you to enjoy morning coffee or afternoon tea with some delicious home-bakes, to prepare for or after a hard days walk.
Residents Bar
The Resident’s bar is quieter than the walker’s bar to allow our guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings over a pint of finest traditional ale, chosen wine from our large cellar or a dram from our wide and varied selection of Scottish malt whiskies.
Hikers Bar
Most guests call in at our Hikers Bar first, where a selection of real ales provides a just reward after a long drive or a hard day of fell and rock. However if real ale is not your first choice, there is a large selection of the finest Scottish whiskies and a large wine cellar. We often have live entertainment, in the form of occasional open music nights where we encourage anyone to get up and play. The Bar always has a friendly, lively spirit about the place, where people enjoy sharing experiences of the local walks and climbs conquered.
Food is served throughout the day in the Hikers bar from 12pm until 9pm.
I was totally blown away with the glorious views – p.s. the enormous fly pie was great too!!!
