Wife and I dined Sat 12 Jun - chose scallop main - best we have ever tasted ; even more so given we understand - chef had been employed fir two days + this was her first attempt at the scallop dish . Entre was also most enjoyable . Service matched quality of the food
Went here for dinner on a Sunday night. Staff were amazing. Went above and beyond with service. The Landlady was just great. Food was beautiful and the locals made us feel at home. Awesome people. An absolute pleasure and a must if passing through. Highly recommended. Thanks to everyone.
We found this pub by mistake, but they made our trip, really good food, cheap drinks, free pool, good music and friedly guests!
Their food is cooked with local products which is amazing when you can eat that and also have a beer with the fisherman who caught that fish or the farmer who grew that lettuce. Amazing!
I definetly recommend it for everyone!
We stayed at the Dunollie Hotel for the entirety of Covid 19 lockdown (8 weeks), and for a further 7 days in June, with our two young girls.
We found an oasis; a home away from home. Ross and Lynette are terrific hosts, with a tremendous knowledge of the local history and great social connections to the community. Throughout the lockdown, our girls had toys to play with and cooking to help with, and space to run around and be themselves. With Ross and Lynette's unwavering generosity, the Dunollie Hotel transformed what should have been an arduous couple of months into a much-needed break from life on the road.
The showers are excellent, the food is excellent, the beer is excellent, the prices are excellent. As well as the quiet and calm living area, there is a lively and welcoming community around the bar.
To stay here is to be immersed fully in West Coast hospitality and culture. Ross and Lynnette are legendary publicans, and the passion they put into the Dunollie Hotel makes the place sing. They are the best hosts we found during our 7 month tour of New Zealand. We live on the other side of the world, but we will be back.
So Myself and a Friend went travelling around the South Island in New Zealand, we had nowhere to stay for the night, found the Dunollie Hotel on Google, as soon as we arrived, Lynette made us feel extremely welcome, had dinner when we arrived which was excellent, and stayed at the Bar for Drinks after, everyone was so friendly, had afew games of Pool with the locals and had great conversation with everyone, Lynette and Ross were great hosts and cannot recommend them enough for the friendly atmosphere they provided. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be staying for the night and to grab a drink with all the great friends myself and my friend made that night.
Fantastic.
