The story
The Kilberry Inn, a cherished destination in the remote landscape of Argyll, is currently closed as it undergoes its first comprehensive renovation in more than thirty years. This marks a pivotal moment for the establishment, which has long been recognized for its warm hospitality and high-quality cooking.
The renovation encompasses the restaurant, guest rooms, and wider facilities. The aim is to restore and enhance the spaces to create an even more memorable experience, all while preserving the traditional character and timeless charm that have made the Inn such a beloved stop for travellers and locals alike.
Before its closure, the Kilberry Inn held a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award that celebrates good quality, good value cooking. This recognition placed it among a select group of restaurants in Scotland where the cooking is both skilful and accessible, rooted in the best of Scottish and Modern British cuisine. The kitchen’s reputation was built on a philosophy of letting superb local ingredients speak for themselves, served in a setting that felt both special and genuinely welcoming.
The temporary closure is described as an exciting new chapter. While there is no set reopening date yet — as the team notes, good things take time — the promise is of a renewed and improved Kilberry Inn, ready to once again offer its distinctive blend of Scottish hospitality and refined, Modern British cooking.
