Recent Reviews in Portskerra

The View by BIDE Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for what I wanted"

Pentland

8/10 Good

"I really liked The Pentland. Lovely old school hotel, with great character and a great old school fried breakfast buffet. The bed was extremely comfortable. Only complaint is that neither of the tellys in our two bedrooms worked."

Bettyhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The views from the dining room were amazing. The staff was very pleasant. Dinner and breakfast were both very well done."

Forss House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is special. It's like checking into a royal house and getting the royal experience for a couple of days. The house itself gives you a very warm feeling, and dinner experience was very fancy, following all the rules. They also have a great collection of whiskeys. All in all, we loved living the dream."

Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I only stayed one night but staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was warm and spotlessly clean."

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."

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."
