Welcome to

THE KILBERRY INN

THE INN

Our unassuming little Inn is an antidote to today’s busy lifestyle. We sit on a 30-mile single-track coastal road in Argyll which gives stunning views of the islands. Inside the Inn lie a warm welcome, casual comfort and fabulous food.

THE RESTAURANT

Our seasonal set menus reflects our terroir: garden herbs, Gigha milk, Kintyre eggs, Knapdale venison and beef, Kilberry lamb and fresh seafood landed daily in Tarbert. We also serve interesting wines, local beers, Scottish gins and whisky from all over, especially from our Campbeltown and island neighbours.

THE ROOMS

We have five stylish double bedrooms, perfect for a romantic escape or a small travelling party. Set around a small courtyard with seating for sunny days and a fire pit for chilly nights, all rooms have independent access, en-suite shower rooms, and quality bedding and toiletries.

AROUND ARGYLL

The Inn offers an ideal base for exploring Argyll, which has something for everyone — historic monuments, scenic walks, cycling, championship golf courses, sailing, excursions to the Islands, abundant wildlife, bird and otter watching, deserted beaches and spectacular sunsets.

ABOUT

The Kilberry Inn’s history is punctuated by numerous accolades, beginning in 1996 when it was honoured as the ‘Scottish Dining Pub of the Year’ under the stewardship of its founding owners. This marked the beginning of the Inn’s commitment to excellence, a value that has been upheld and nurtured for over 30 years. The dedication to fine local cuisine and welcoming hospitality has been a hallmark across all generations of owners, with each earning recognition that has contributed to the esteemed reputation the Inn proudly holds today.

For over 15 years, the Kilberry Inn has held a Bib Gourmand awarded by Michelin for great food at a reasonable price — one of only a handful of establishments to be recognised in Scotland. It has also won a ‘César’ from the Good Hotel Guide (called the “Oscar of the hotel industry” by The Sunday Times) and we are proud to be included in The Good Food Guide and Pete Irvine’s ‘Scotland the Best’. The Inn was named the “Best Scottish restaurant with rooms” by The Times in 2009 and one of its “Best 30 Scottish hideaways” in 2020. It has also been featured in The Glasgow Herald, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times, Scottish Field, Harper’s Bazaar, Condé Nast Traveller, among others.

Over the years, the Inn has hosted famous opera singers, acclaimed authors, sporting legends, political pundits and has had journalists in multiple continents waxing lyrical. There are unconfirmed reports that the late Queen dined here during her 80th birthday cruise. Every guest, however, can expect to receive a royal Kilberry welcome.

In early 2024, the Kilberry Castle Estate assumed stewardship of the Inn after it had been on the market for some years. This was motivated by a commitment to safeguarding the future of this beloved establishment and preserving the legacy built by three generations of previous owners. Under the Estate, the Inn continues to support the local community, produce, and traditions, while championing a farm-to-table ethos.
