Expertise you can trust, quality you can rely on
At Lairg Highland Hotel, we pride ourselves on providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. Our family-run hotel has been a staple of the Lairg village community for over two decades. We have grown from a small pub with rooms to a 10-bedroom hotel with a bistro and two bars, offering a range of comfortable and well-appointed guest rooms.
Our Story
Our journey began in April 1996 when Allan and Annette Hamilton, together with their then six-month-old son Allan, identified the need for a small informal inn in Lairg village. With a passion for hospitality and a commitment to providing exceptional service, we set out to create a haven for travelers and locals alike. Over the years, we have continued to grow and refine our services to ensure that every guest has an unforgettable experience.
