Eddrachilles is a small owner-run Highland hotel overlooking Badcall Bay near Scourie, Sutherland. Most guests stay three or four nights with us, using the hotel as a peaceful base for exploring Assynt, the North Coast and the wider landscapes of the North West Highlands.
We sit within the North West Highlands UNESCO Geopark, at the north tip the Assynt-Coigach National Scenic Area and roughly midway along the North Coast 500 route. A peaceful place rich in wildlife, history and remarkable coastal landscape.

Eat at The Glebe Kitchen Restaurant
The original stone walls date to the early 1800s and are infused with the stories of previous generations..
The Glebe Kitchen is the award-winning, in-house restaurant at Eddrachilles Hotel. Dinner is served in our restaurant each evening during the season.
The Glebe Kitchen is set within the stone walls of the original manse kitchen, looking west over our cottage garden. Menus are shaped by fresh Scottish ingredients such a Scotch beef, Highland venison, and ultra local crab from Badcall Bay itself.
The fixed price menu changes in full at least twice a week, some dishes more frequently, and there’s plenty of variety each night. We also cater for dietary requirements, allergies, and intolerances
After dinner, guests often move through to the sun lounge or settle by the wood burning stove in the Colonel’s lounge. There’s nothing finer than that last coffee or a dram from our well stocked bar as the evening light lingers over the bay.
