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 menu reflects our terroir: garden herbs, Gigha milk, Kintyre eggs, west-coast venison, Scottish beef and 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 reputation the Inn proudly holds today.
For over 15 years, the Kilberry Inn has held a Bib Gourmand awarded by the Michelin Guide — 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 is 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 actors, celebrated musicians, 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 Estate assumed stewardship of the Kilberry Inn to help safeguard this beloved establishment built by three generations, and a valued part of the community. For over 30 years, the Inn has offered an experience defined by authenticity, local flavour, and genuine welcome — a traditional style of hospitality that faces growing challenges in today’s fast-paced, centralised industry. With the Estate’s support, the Inn continues to champion rural business, uphold local traditions, celebrate regional produce, and offer the same warmth that has long defined it.
