Pool House - Poolewe, Scotland

Our extensive WW2 collection is open to the public The interior of the house is predominantly 19th century in style.

Pool House is an historic house requisitioned during WW2 as a Royal Navy Command HQ for Russian Arctic Convoys and also overseeing the North Atlantic and Icelandic Convoys that gathered here in Loch Ewe. Move through 300 years of rich history and discover the dramatic events that have taken place within these walls and the many notable people that visited the house over the years. A courthouse in

the 1700’s, the setting for a marital battle that scandalised Victorian society, through to becoming a WW2 headquarters; there is something to delight, engage and captivate in every room. If your fascination lies with the paranormal, then you may hope to catch a glimpse of one or more of our three phantoms. You will find Victorian bathing machines, Chinese marriage beds and many collectibles and curiosities of the time giving an insight into the upper middle class lifestyle of the Victorian landed gentry.

We are commemorating VE Day today with some Homity Pie! This WWII recipe can often be found on our cafe menu and is as popular now as it was during wartime.

Wish you were here? Well you could be. Take a look at our unique self catering with shepherd’s hut kitchen/dining room and boathouse bedroom, sitting room. With a vintage 40’s vibe, you will still find all mod cons and a wood burning stove for cooler days. The “Wren’s Nest” is so called after the 175 WRNS that served at Loch Ewe in WWII.

Trying very hard to concentrate on baking cakes for the cafe tomorrow but can’t help being distracted by the view through the window. One of the big problems you face living in the North West Highlands. Looking forward to all the sympathetic comments. 😀🪟🌅🌊
