Top Achmelvich Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Achmelvich

The Drumbeg Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming and friendly. Superb food and wonderful view from the dining area. No deer on show for us just a badger strolling down the road. As others have said either route to the hotel is challenging if you are not a confident driver but well worth it. If you want modern and pristine this is not the place for you but it is clearly a labour of love for the couple that run it and we loved it."

Inchnadamph Explorers Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a twin room which came with a sink and shared bathroom facilities. Lovely location. The staff were very friendly and there was lots of information on local walking routes. Well stocked shop and a nice simple breakfast which we hadn't expected."

Suil Na Mara

10/10 Excellent

"The pod was cozy and well equipped, with a nice deck and patio furniture. The space was well designed and accommodated two adults well."

Scourie Lodge B&B and Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"We pitched up on a dull afternoon and were delighted with our room. Spacious and with a bathroom with a bath. The chef was sick so we decided having a few options to have some food in the room and enjoy the tv. A nice tray was brought up with soup and cold meats focaccia etc. All very nice in the circumstances."

Torran Cottage - The Highland Cottage with a Piano

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent host thank you"

Traditional Highland Cottage With Stunning Panoramic Mountain And Sea Views

10/10 Excellent

"Great views, quiet, we had an excellent week."

Davar

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful host and a wonderful place to have breakfast with a view. Would highly recommend this place as you travel the north coast 500."

North Coast 500 Pods

10/10 Excellent

"Very lovely stay in the pod. It was clean and cozy and comfortable. We did not receive the instructions for how to check in but contacted the host and solved the problem. It was stressful because there is very little internet access in that area. The beautiful beach is a short walk away."

A pretty detached single storey cottage set in its own grounds.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a quiet week over New Year there. The cottage can not be faulted, and the view is stunning! You do need a car, of course, and be comfortable with single-track roads in the mountains. It's actually a fairly modern building, with underfloor heating (and an environmentally friendly underground heat pump), but the wood burner helps getting cosy in the evening. Neighbours are at a reasonable distance."
