The Old Inn

About

The Old Inn is a free‑house pub perched on the shores of Loch Harport in the small hamlet of Carbost on the Isle of Skye. The welcoming highland establishment offers a relaxed atmosphere steeped in Scottish hospitality, free Wi‑Fi and an impressive selection of local ales and whiskies, including the famous Talisker. Food is a true highlight – from breakfast at 7:45 a.m. to a full‑day menu featuring fish & chips, burgers, vegetarian and gluten‑free options, and a rotating specials board. Live music plays throughout the year, ranging from traditional folk to modern rock, and a cozy bar fire keeps guests warm on evenings. The inn also provides comfortable accommodation. Bespoke bed‑and‑breakfast rooms with sea views and ensuite bathrooms, as well as a 24‑bed bunkhouse with shared facilities, are available for overnight stays. Online bookings are managed via the Freetobook portal, and free parking is available near the property. From its favourite terrace overlooking Loch Harport to award‑winning food and local drinks, The Old Inn is an essential stop for anyone exploring the Isle of Skye – whether for a quick pub stop or a relaxed base for island adventures.
