Recent Reviews in Melvich

Bettyhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location of hotel. Food amazing amd staff very friendly. Would stay again."

Pentland

10/10 Excellent

"Spotless despite the age of the building. Well done. What lovely helpful staff. I overheard conversations between seniors training new starts. Such gentle voices in keeping with the care they take when training."

Premier Inn Thurso

8/10 Good

"Rooms are kept far too warm."

Strathy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Strathy Inn is the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying with friends - extremely hospitable ones! It doesn’t look much from the outside and is not in one of the bigger villages but the rooms are very clean, cosy and comfortable and have everything you need. The bed was one of the best we’ve slept in on our trip around North Scotland. Meals are also home cooked and delicious. I would highly recommend a stay here."

The View by BIDE Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"L’hébergement est situé à côté de la plage de Thurso. La chambre est spacieuse et a une petite cuisinette ce qui nous a permis de se faire quelques repas."

Amazing NC500 Croft House. Perfect for couples and families

10/10 Excellent

"If there is a better place to stay in this area I'd love to hear about it because this one is hard to beat. Rural serene location. Ocean view. Cows to view. Go to The Store in Bettyhill after visiting the museum. Both are amazing."

Garvault House

8/10 Good

"What a place to stay at Garvault House! It's literally in the middle of nowhere, no light pollution and views of pure wilderness for miles around- amazing location. Food provided was very tasty and dinner becomes a very social setting where everyone is on the dining table, although you can sit privately next door if you wished! Rooms could do with a bit of modernising albeit not too much to take away from the charm of this 'off grid' location. No TVs either, but WiFi and phone signal still good if that bothers you during your stay"

Beach House 2 Bedrooms Close to Beach

8/10 Good

"Having a washer and Dryer was very nice. It may be just me, but I really don’t appreciate having to take a full heavy garbage from previous users to the curb."

Sandra's Backpackers Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a really pleasant experience. The owners are so kind and friendly also. I will definitely come back next time I’m in town."
