About Chlachain Inn
Just three rooms make up the Chlachain Inn, a small pub-hotel on Davies Brae in Mallaig with views out towards the surrounding mountains. It's a compact set-up rather than a sprawling hotel, which suits those after a straightforward base near the harbour without extra fuss.
Each room comes with an en-suite bathroom and drinks provided, and guests can order breakfast, packed lunches, and kids' meals as needed. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar with outdoor seating, plus a games room for evenings in, and reception is staffed around the clock. Meeting rooms are also available for those combining business with the trip, and pets are welcome to stay too.
Mallaig itself makes a practical launchpad for reaching the Isle of Skye and the wider West Highlands, and there's plenty to do close by without needing a car, including golf, fishing, and further pubs, bars and restaurants in the immediate area. It's a modest, well-placed spot for those who want to explore rather than linger indoors.
Diners like this pub's delicious and hearty food, especially the fresh seafood dishes like mussels, scallops, and fish and chips, with many gluten-free options available. They also highlight the warm, friendly, and welcoming staff, as well as the cozy atmosphere with a fireplace and bar games. Guests mention the reasonable prices for both meals and comfortable, clean rooms, which include breakfast.
