Eat at The Glebe Kitchen Restaurant
The Glebe Kitchen is the award-winning in-house restaurant at Eddrachilles Hotel, with dinner served each evening during the season.
Set within the stone walls of the original manse kitchen, the restaurant looks west over the cottage garden. Menus are shaped by fresh Scottish ingredients, including Scotch beef, Highland venison and, at times, ultra-local crab from Badcall Bay.
Our fixed-price menu changes in full at least twice a week, with some dishes changing more often. We cater for dietary requirements, allergies and intolerances with advance notice.
After dinner, guests often move through to the sun lounge or settle by the wood-burning stove in the Colonel’s Lounge for coffee, a dram and the last of the evening light over the bay.

We have invested to provide broadband but you may find it slower than in the cities. it’s perfectly adequate for social media browsing, emails, audio calls, and checking bookings etc. It’s not as good for high volume streaming.
There’s limited mobile coverage, none in the older parts of the building and it also depends on your provider. Vodafone is generally the weakest while 3 E is reportedly much better in the rounds.
