How to find Kylesku Hotel
Kylesku Hotel is in Sutherland on the northwest coast of Scotland, on the North Coast 500 coastal route. You’ll find us in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, on the banks of Loch Glendhu, not far from the iconic Kylesku Bridge.
To get here, first reach Inverness by train, car or plane and drive two hours through breathtaking scenery, or come by sea and anchor in the bay.
- Tip: Fill up with petrol in Inverness, Scourie or Ullapool.

- At the the Ledmore T-junction, turn left on to the A837.

A local bus service, the Far North bus, operates the 804 service on Tuesdays and Thursdays from May to October. It runs from Ullapool to Durness and back (via Lochinver), and can drop people off at the Kylesku turn-off at the top of our road.
By Sea
If you have a boat, you can find a sheltered spot easily enough within the loch. The slipway is good for mooring, but don’t leave the dinghy unattended as it gets used quite a bit.
