   Food was the quality we expected, but the quantities were way too small for the price, especially the cheese board. Such a shame to leave disappointed when we have enjoyed so many good meals here in the past

   I am sorry to say the food was mediocre at best and thats being generous! We would not recommend eating here.We have had some fabulous food while travelling in Scotland over many years but this is one to avoid. The hot/smoked salmon starter was not good and frankly I have had larger smoke salmon starters on an aircraft meal! The portion of salmon was an incredibly small amount and also had tough sinew through it. The salmon with rice and vegetables main course meal….although the taste was nice/o.k…it was poor overall…microwaved pre-prepared rice (you know those ones you pop in the microwave for 2 mins) and greasy vegetables. We had expected more quite frankly. It had been a long day and we were looking forward to a pleasant meal but this experience resulted in us just eating some, paying and getting on our way. Needless to say we would not go back and would not recommend eating here to others- it was poor and hugely disappointing, plus-not cheap! They need to up their game considerably.

    We visited on a warm June evening mid week and the premises were fairly quiet, though did get a bit busier as the evening wore on. A great atmosphere in the bar, casual and welcoming. Some great beers to choose from. We ate in the adjoining conservatory. The friendly and helpful staff member voluntarily moved us from our reserved table to a better one with the fantastic view of the sea. An extensive, reasonably priced wine list. A great meal, more than adequate portions and we finished with cheese and biscuits on the balcony outside almost on top of the water. To sum up, great atmosphere, great food, helpful and very friendly staff. Pity we live so far away...

    We actually went to the Inn three times this week. We had stag & dough pizza on the deck, a Birthday celebration meal in the bar area and then rebooked for the following night in the Boat house outside. All were great occasions with attentive and friendly staff, with everything you’d hope for from a good Inn atmosphere. Specials board was expansive and each night everyone enjoyed their individually selected courses.

    The ambience was unpleasant due to drunken clientele shouting and swearing at the bar. The service was very slow. The pub had clearly taken more bookings than the staff were able to cope with. Our server was pleasant but the food was average. Not an overall good experience.

    The Badachro InnResponded on 6 June 2022Carol Im so sorry you had a bad experience, we have run the Badachro Inn for 22 years so the booking system and tables are booked on a system that works for the Inn. Our food has been getting fabulous revenues as you can see I can only think that we had a lot of people enjoying jubilee w/e and the weather in the bar and on the decking which created a very busy surrounding and its not something pleasing to your self. Im so sorry you did not enjoy your experience Regards Martyn Pearson MD

    Nice food, lovely staff that were obviously overworked and struggling to keep up with orders. They were trying their hardest but could either do with more staff or offers less covers.

    A hidden gem in the Gairloch area. Lovely situated at Badachro, harbour, this place is a must visit when in the area. On a sunny day, enjoy the views from the decking, while have a drink and a bite to eat. Great selection of beers and ales on draught. The food is outstanding. Local caught seafood, best cheesplatter ever. Went back the next day for wood fired pizzas. To top it all, the staff was extremely friendly. Till next time!!

    We visited Gairloch in early June '22. We ate at Badachro Inn twice. The experience was excellent both time. Even though we had an early table on the first occasion (18:00) the pub was very busy. This created a great vibe - many groups of people each having their own good time. The staff were very well organised. We were seated with drinks and menus quickly and without fuss. The menu offered a good range and we had no trouble choosing some excellent dishes. We liked it so much that we booked again for two days later before we left. Given how busy it seemed when we were there booking would seem essential.

    Absolutely wonderful! We arrived 30 mins late for our booking due to a longer than planned walk but the staff were so friendly and accommodating that we instantly relaxed. The service was excellent and the food absolutely delicious. We were in heaven looking out across the bay whilst eating a plate of delicious langoustines. Our children had really good quality burgers too. An excellent place that is clearly very well run. We’ll be back!

    Booking was easy, the food was excellent and well presented. Service was dreadfully slow took us 50minutes to be served during this time other guests were having the same delay and even a simple request for an update was responded to very sharply by the front of house manager The inn was very busy, and the best excuse given was small kitchen with only three staff - perhaps less bookings would preserve the name of Scottish hospitality However despite all of the above we had a great night and would definitely return

    The location is stunning. The food was tasty. Hygiene needs work. I would prefer a friendlier welcome. I personally find it annoying that people who arrived after us were served before us. It could be amazing with tweaks.

    The Inn is the only place for miles to eat but that’s ok because it was fabulous. The food. The wait staff the vibe all made us feel welcome in a strange place. We recommend it. Anything on the chefs daily list is worth a try. We had mussels and halibut plus starter seared scallops. Fantastic!

    Attentive staff without being overly so. We arrived and weren’t quite ready to order as my partner wanted to watch the end of a rugby game on his phone… we were left to drink our drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. When it came time to order food, the landlord recommended the monkfish to us which did not disappoint! Incredible dish from the chef! Given the starters were also delicious we ordered dessert which we absolutely didn’t need, but equally didn’t want to miss out on another awesome dish!! Lovely to see the staff have a great rapport with the locals also. Thanks for a lovely evening, we will be back :-)
