| What a find! In out-of-the-way Altandhu on the Achiltibuie peninsula there is this great little pub. The interior is dark and atmospheric, with lots of curiosities on the walls. The owner is friendly and chatty. She is a member of the family that have been running this pub for ages. She is now - February 2011 - providing a campsite down to the sea across the road from the pub. And the beer is good! There's nothing this good for 45 minutes in any direction. rolandsj - 4 Feb 2011 21:54 |

| Gavmel, I'm sorry to read that the Fuaran bar didn't live up to your preconceived idea of what a Wester Ross bar should be like. Maybe the owners should employ you as a stylist so you can mould it into the Brigadoon-style fantasy you doubtless crave. I like the place. It's not the best bar in the world but I've always found the food good, the beer fine, the staff very friendly, once you get talking to them - what you don't get is the faux-bubbly, gushing corporate b.s. you get in other places. Maybe this is because it's a REAL pub, run by REAL people who possibly have days when (like most of us) they're bored stiff and hate their job. As for your assertion that the entire area is "spoilt" by the bar, you are clearly utterly deluded - if they plonked a McDonalds and a Starbucks in the Hydroponicum it wouldn't totally ruin the Coigach peninsula would it? And re the presence of a pool table and satellite TV in a bar..sheesh, whatever next..dominos? (pun intended) patanegra - 2 Aug 2009 19:30 |
| This is the only proper PUB as opposed to the public bar of a hotel within a twenty mile radius. The interior is dark and atmospheric, as pubs in the wilds of Scotland should be. There is a newish outdoor drinking area which commands great views. Right, that's the positive part of the review. Behind the bar is a charmless young man who can't even muster a smile as we enter the pub. My 'hello' is met with a stony silence. No words are exchanged as I order and pay for our drinks. He stands, virtually motionless, for the duration of our visit, eyes fixed to the TV screen opposite the bar. Maybe he's been lobotomised. I have a pint of Red Cuillin, the only ale available. Although completely clear, it tastes bloody awful. I have no doubt that I will come here again, but this was a disappointing visit. holbornboy - 17 Jul 2009 23:10 |
