Pool House - Poolewe, Scotland

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.

In October 2008, a group of veterans travellled to Poolewe for a ceremony to hang the Russian Arctic Convoy Bell inside Pool House, their former Command Headquarters. The event was very well attended but one of those who could not come in person was the actress Virginia McKenna. She did, however, send a letter and a photograph showing her portraying a WREN in the film, “The Cruel Sea”.

We were absolutely thrilled yesterday to receive a very large, signed poster to place alongside the photograph and letter. We received this through the kind auspices of television auctioneer James Lewis who is a close friend of Virginia and who requested she send a poster to add to our collection. We are absolutely delighted and hugely grateful to both of them.

One of our best sellers after our homemade strawberry is our Rhubarb and Ginger - we make as much as we can but it always seems to disappear 😋

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.

Good Night from Loch Ewe.
