an inviting atmosphere with outstanding service from staff like sue who makes you feel at home

A lovely experience with warm hospitality.

The staff were super friendly and made our stay super enjoyable! The location was best for exploring the beach! Just a heads up, the dining hours can be a bit short.

The dining experience shines here, particularly with the Red Pepper Restaurant's fresh local seafood that truly elevates the stay. Breakfast is a highlight, featuring a traditional Scottish spread that’s worth waking up for.

Room size varies significantly. some feel like broom cupboards, lacking proper space and privacy, especially those overlooking fire escapes. The bathrooms need an update, with fans inadequate for humidity and some toilets sporting flimsy seats. Limited power outlets make it inconvenient to use appliances, and the noise from the street can be bothersome into the early morning hours.

The family room was super clean and really comfy. We felt right at home! The bed was great, and there was plenty of space for us. Just a perfect little spot to crash after the music festival. The decor was pretty basic but honestly, it didn’t bother us at all. It had everything we needed, and we had a wonderful stay! Nothing negative to mention, just a solid experience all around.

Had a great time with friends! We loved how close the hotel was to the beach and attractions like John O'Groats. The rooms were clean and well-decorated, and the staff were super friendly. Just a quick heads up, remember to check the dining hours, as some places may close early.

Lovely family spot

Could use better sound insulation between rooms.

I enjoyed the genuine warmth of the staff. They were friendly and made every effort to ensure my stay was comfortable. The room, although compact, was clean and tidy. I appreciated the good shower pressure. The restaurant impressed me with its locally sourced menu. The fresh fish dishes I tried were exceptional. The atmosphere felt cozy, great for a relaxing evening. Parking was limited and a bit tricky due to poorly parked cars. The early closing of the bar was , especially after a long day. Sound insulation between rooms could be much better. I could hear conversations from the next room. Still, the overall ambiance and location were excellent, making it easy to explore the town. I would consider coming back for the food and service.

I spent two nights at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals served in the restaurant. both the fresh seafood and the traditional Scottish breakfast were top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home, always going the extra mile to assist. The room was clean and comfortable, though the bathroom could use an update. a very satisfying stay that I'd happily repeat!
