Eddrachilles Hotel, Badcall Bay, Scourie

On Scotland’s Northwest Coast | AA 3 Silver Star | AA Rosette Restaurant

Eddrachilles is an award-winning, owner-operated hotel on the spectacular coast of Northwest Sutherland. This heritage B-listed manse overlooks Badcall Bay from three acres of woodland gardens leading directly to the shore, where seals often inspect walkers along the shoreline.

Named Best Hotel in Scotland by the Good Hotel Guide (César Award 2023), recognised as Best Small Romantic Destination at the National Hotel Awards - Scotland 2025, and a three-time Good Hotel Guide Editor’s Choice for Dog-Friendly award (2019, 2024, 2026), we offer genuine Highland hospitality in an historic setting where views and food both deserve the journey.

Come for the Views, Return for the Food

Six of our ten ensuite rooms overlook Badcall Bay toward the mountains of Assynt. Our AA Rosette restaurant, The Glebe Kitchen, serves modern Scottish cuisine in the former manse kitchen, where our professional chefs prepare locally-sourced dishes that have earned us a reputation well beyond our hotel guests—one-third of our diners now travel specifically for the food.

AWARD-WINNING DOG-FRIENDLY HAVEN

We’re proud three-time Good Hotel Guide Editor’s Choice winners for Dog-Friendly accommodation (2019, 2024, 2026)—the only category we’ve won three times. This isn’t just about allowing dogs; it’s about genuine,welcome for your best friend(s). Five of our rooms accommodate canine guests, and our 3 acres of grounds (with dog-proof cattle grid), curated walking maps with Gaelic name interpretations, and outdoor warm-water washing station make this perfect dog-walking country.

£20 per stay (not per night) includes welcome pack, towels, bowls, and a quality breakfast sausage served wrapped in foil at breakfast.

FOR SAILORS: PRIVATE GUEST MOORING

Eddrachilles offers a private mooring in Badcall Bay for guests arriving by sea—unique in the Northwest Highlands. For over two centuries, the white walls of this manse have guided sailors through waters studded with reputedly 365 skerries and islands. Today we welcome “guests from the sea” with AA Rosette dining, warm hospitality, and the local knowledge.
