Property Information
You follow the road for 13 miles of single track road through magnificent landscapes - down the glen around the loch, past Blaven ("Blue Mountain") and around the hills to Elgol. Our chic little restaurant with rooms is waiting for you near the end of the track. Our home has a cool rustic style and Iain's ambrosial food flies from the kitchen. Tea and coffee with a sweet treat from our kitchen are available on arrival. The breakfast room runs along the front of the house with a string of windows that frame the view. Lime-washed walls, up-cycled and antique furniture, vintage design fabrics, a large day-bed in front of a fire.... Our airy rooms have big beds, white linen, robes in quirky bathrooms, slipper baths in The Steading... You can dine in our restaurant where a wood-burner keeps things cosy; lobster bisque with Clare's bread fresh from the oven, sole and squid with lemon thyme veloute, venison musselburgh suet pudding and fillet with sea kale and foraged wild mushrooms, dark chocolate mousse tart with sea-buckthorn sorbet, handpicked wines from around the world (our passion is French Burgundy - over 70 on our exquisite wine list!), an array of single malt whiskies, Highland gins. Drop down 2km to Elgol harbour, where Bonnie Prince Charlie fled for his life, and gaze upon the mighty Cuillin rising from the sea. Stags roam the hills, otters can be seen on the shores, eagles soar in the skies and boat trips to Loch Coruisk and the beautiful Small Isles of Rum and Canna can be arranged after a sumptuous breakfast of home baking.... Heaven! Our gorgeous thatched cottage An Nead, is available as self-catering or on a bed and breakfast tariff. All ready for you to reserve online!

We will ask that all guests can show, and will agree to claim on, travel insurance for a cancellation fee if for any reason a booking has to be cancelled by us or by a customer for reasons that are not within our control, including but not limited to government restrictions on travel and/or any limits on the services that we are able to provide in terms of our accommodation and the restaurant.

Terms and Conditions
Bed and Breakfast Tariffs
Our bed and breakfast tariffs set out on our website do not include the cost of dinner. Just so you know, the price is per room and not per person. For bookings where all of our rooms are reserved, a higher bed and breakfast tariff will apply to allow us to bring in additional staff to accommodate and serve a larger group at one time. Please contact us for details. There is a maximum occupancy of two people per bedroom (only the Upper Steading Suite as advertised can accommodate two, three or four people with the number expressly given at the time of reservation). Our bedrooms, suites and en-suite shower and bathroom facilities are for the exclusive use of the occupants whose name the reservation is made. Friends, family and other non-resident guests associated with resident house guests are welcome to use the common areas in Coruisk House itself, available to restaurant guests, but not the residents’ sitting rooms, bedrooms, suites and their en-suite facilities. The tariff for An Nead - our thatched cottage right next to Coruisk House - on our website is the self-catering tariff. Breakfast is available every morning except Tuesday mornings when Coruisk House is closed, for an additional charge (£25 per person) and if reserved before guests arrive at the cottage.
Tariffs and prices for Coruisk House set out on third-party websites and in third-party publications will not be correct and the only tariffs that apply to a stay and dinner at Coruisk House are those set out on our website and in our literature.
The cream iron bed bedroom has a low ceiling (5 feet and five inches in height) between the room and the en-suite shower room and is therefore not suitable for guests with restricted mobility.
We are sorry but we are unable to accommodate children under the age of 14 years in the rooms in Coruisk House and The Steading. Our cottage An Nead is suitable for children and a crib can be provided on request
We have one dog-friendly accommodation. One well-behaved dog is welcome by prior arrangement (p[please telephone us on 01471 866 330) and if our dog-friendly accommodation is available. We have three labradors on-site at Coruisk House.
Our labrador dogs live in the house and will have access to some of the common areas of the house (the conservatory and dining room). We do suggest that our premises are not suitable for guests who do not like dogs.
Restaurant Reservation and Cancellation Terms
The restaurant is open by advance reservation only from 1 March 2024 until 30 October 2024. The restaurant is closed on Mondays. (Please contact us for details of limited restaurant opening - tables of four or more diners - for the restaurant during the winter and early Spring. The restaurant is closed over Christmas and New Year). Reservations at least 24 hours in advance (in quieter off-season a week's notice is required) are essential and may on occasion be limited to house guests only. We are a small family-run restaurant in a remote location. All dishes are cooked to order and we seek to provide the highest standard of food and service for our restaurant guests. We bring guests into our restaurant at 7 pm and offer a set four-course menu at £90 per person. There is a cancellation fee of £90 per person where a restaurant reservation is cancelled with 48 hours or less notice.
Wedding and Entire House / Entire Restaurant Reservation and Cancellation Terms
We are delighted to cater for small, intimate weddings and ‘elopements’ (maximum 12 diners). For groups of ten or more diners, we ask that all of our accommodations are reserved by the group for the evening of the dinner reservation. For groups of six or eight diners, we ask that two or three of our rooms respectively are reserved by the group for the evening of the dinner reservation. Where all of our rooms are booked the cost of the accommodation becomes non-refundable 90 days before the date of arrival. The cost of the meal where the entire restaurant is reserved, is due and payable 60 days before the date of arrival and again becomes non-refundable on that date.
Restaurant Service Charge
The prices on our restaurant menus are exclusive of a service charge and the payment of a service charge is at the discretion of our customers. For groups of four diners or more, a discretionary service charge of 12.5% is added to the bill.
Room Reservation Terms
To allow us to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests there may be occasions where we have to ask guests to take an alternative accommodation to that reserved and we reserve the right to do so.

The completion and submission of a Contact Us form on our website does not constitute a reservation. An email from us enclosing the completed Contact Us form does not constitute a reservation and acts simply as a record of your enquiry and request.
A reservation is only complete following our receipt of funds equal to the cost of the entire stay at Coruisk House and upon your receipt of our email confirming your reservation. We are not able to hold rooms pending receipt of payment for the accommodation. We will ask for card details on arrival to secure all liabilities under our terms and conditions set out on this web page.
