Originally a coaching inn, (the principal building dates from 1570) the Poolewe Hotel has a long history of providing the best in highland hospitality. During the second world war, senior naval personal were accommodated here, as the great Arctic convoys were assembled in the loch itself before leaving for the ports of northern Russia. The hotel can be found at the head of Loch Ewe where the River Ewe rushing down from Loch Maree meets the waters of the Minch. The setting is magnificent; it looks both down the Loch to the open sea, and across to the world famous gardens of Inverewe. The hotel has been extended and re-appointed over the years and during this last winter the guestrooms have been delightfully refurbished.
