Top Altnaharra Hotel Reviews

Altnaharra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was a bit tired in places but the food was superb and we were very well looked after by the staff, especially Martha Location is stunning too"

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."

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"

Sangobeag - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"This property is absolutely stunning. The views are spectacular and the house itself was clean and tidy. It is so well stocked, especially the kitchen, and the puzzles and dvds provided gave lots of entertainment We had a really lovely week here."

"Just had a fantastic time in this remote Croft house in the snow wind with -4 temperatures the house is lovely and warm n cosy and has everything you need.We Stocked up at the supermarket in iInverness before we came and then relaxed and enjoyed the views of the rugged highlands in the warm with a nice meal and a glass of wine or beer just awsum.Great location for shooting and fishing and long beach walks with the dog.Tony and Diana"

3 bedroom accommodation in Rosehall, near Lairg

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was absolutely superb. It was like a tardis. Looked really small from the outside but was plenty of room on the inside. Garden was kept immaculately tidy. It's at least a 10 - 15 minute drive from the shops at Lairg but if you're looking for a quiet spot to relax then it's perfect for you. The house had everything we needed. Prepare for midges with plenty smidge spray or even a net if you want to go out and enjoy the area. Some days they weren't about, most they weren't too bad but the morning we left they were terrible. Myself, partner, 3 kids and 2 dogs loved it. We will be back."
