Each day begins with a generous breakfast offering — from a traditional full Scottish to continental favourites, along with freshly made omelettes and pancakes. All meals are prepared using high quality, locally sourced ingredients that reflect the region’s culinary strengths.

Afternoon tea at Dungallan is a highlight in itself. Lovingly prepared on-site, these elegant offerings are enjoyed by residents and locals alike, served in the inviting lounge bar, peaceful library or on the scenic wraparound patio overlooking the bay. As the evening settles in, guests may also choose from a refined selection of cold platters, presented in the same relaxed and atmospheric spaces.

The day ends in Dungallan’s lounge bar, where an impressive collection of over 220 whiskies awaits discovery. This is complemented by a curated selection of Scottish island gins, hand-picked wines, prosecco and Champagne, offering the perfect conclusion to a day of exploration or relaxation.

With its rich history, thoughtful hospitality and spectacular setting, Dungallan Country House offers a unique blend of luxury and tranquillity in one of Scotland’s most beautiful coastal locations.
