🍕🍻 The season is winding down at Ocean View! 🍻🍕

We’re definitely starting to feel the end of the season creeping in, and as things get a little quieter, there may be occasions this week when we close the bar and restaurant earlier than our usual hours.

So, if you’re planning to join us, we’d recommend making a reservation or giving us a quick call before you set off just to check we’re still open.

We’d hate for anyone to make the journey over only to find us closed! ❤️

We’d love to see you before we finish up for the season, so come and enjoy a pizza, a few drinks and one last visit to Ocean View. 🍕🍺🌊

🍕🍻 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡! 🍻🍕

Well, here we are… our last Saturday evening open this season! Our very last day will be next Friday, so if you’ve been meaning to pop in, now is your last chance to join us for a delicious pizza, a few drinks and a good old chat before we close our doors for the long winter.

For us, this has been an absolutely incredible first season in our adventure of running a hotel, bar and restaurant. We have loved every single minute of it. ❤️

In such a short space of time, we’ve had some truly wonderful people through our doors. It’s been fascinating meeting people from all over, all with their own reasons for exploring the Highlands, and honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as I have over the last few months! 😂

A huge part of what we’ve managed to achieve over these last few months is down to the fantastic team here at Ocean View. We genuinely would not have managed without you. Whether it was a day when something decided to stop working, a leaky pipe that needed dealing with, or one of the many unexpected challenges that come with running a hotel, you’ve all mucked in, helped us get through it and, most importantly, laughed about it with us along the way.

You are very much appreciated — thank you! ❤️

So, whether you’ve managed to visit us already or haven’t quite made it yet, why not pop down tonight or next Friday and share a drink, a pizza and a chat with all of us before we close up for a long winter.
