The "North by North West" dining room has one of the most unique settings in the Highlands.
This beautiful room has a nautical theme with thousands of hand painted stars on the ceiling, zodiac fresco and seafaring charts. The main centrepiece, however, is a seven-foot hand gilded compass. Situated just a few feet away from where the river meets the sea, few restaurants can offer such a wonderful opportunity to observe seals, otters and a wide variety of birds whilst dining. During the summer months this room is transformed during the evening by the vivid colours of the glorious sunsets whilst in the winter months flickering candles reflect the gold leaf painted walls.
Chef Dan Hall has a wealth of experience having worked in top establishments world wide including positions in Napa Valley California, Sydney Australia, Andalucia Spain as well as being Head Chef on the Royal Scotsman and for Nick Nairn at Braeval and Nairn’s restaurants. Dan brings a modern approach to his cooking relying on an extensive number of local and national suppliers to provide him with a varied and interesting selection of produce. Seasonality is of paramount importance to his food as each new season brings its own fantastic bounty.
"To eat in such a setting as the Pool House dining room, with its lovely views and unique décor, is a real pleasure and the warmth of welcome the Harrison's exude is an example of hospitality at its best." - Lady Claire Macdonald
"For those lovers of the outdoors with real time on their hands there is an enormous range of activities that will work up an appetite to do justice to the skills of Head Chef Daniel Hall whose modern European food is innovative and beautifully presented. In a location with such a formidable array of talent and ingredients, there is ample space for constant fluctuation on the menu - no standard bill of fare here. To imagine anything other than a wine list of exceptional talent would be churlish indeed, and expectation is entirely up to scratch. Yes, there are some very pricey wines here in which to revel, but leaving on one side the sheer delight of studying the list, there are real bargains to be enjoyed also. A good range of half bottles and some very interesting bin ends only serve to add lustre to a list which, if to be found in London would cause a stampede" - Richard 7th Earl of Bradford
