"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Albert Hotel

Albert Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is spotless. The staff are very friendly. The staff that clean and look after the rooms do an exceptional job. The restaurant staff were always cheerful even under pressure. The Italian lady on Saturday morning was a delight to meet. Saturday and Sunday evening Des and Dan ran it so smoothly. They were so welcoming and attentive. Excellent service. The breakfast was excellent. Great choice of buffet and excellent coffee. The hot breakfast is freshly prepared, not on the buffet. There is a list to choose from. The restaurant food is excellent quality. Five star chefs šŸ˜Š The Superior deluxe room was spacious. There is a kettle with a lovely selection of teas and coffee. Oat milk and semi skimmed milk sachets. A decanter of cold water and glasses. The bathroom was clean. The towels super soft. The dispensers for shampoo and shower gel a bit hit and miss. The hand and body lotion has a light fragrance. The sink surround is too close to the toilet. I hurt my elbow. The shower is over the bath.The screen needed to be pulled into the bath before stepping out. It wouldnā€™t be suitable for unfit people. Unfortunately the iron was dirty and leaked. The ironing board was good. The hairdryer was good. The room was light and airy with a balcony. The bed was super comfy It was a long weekend stay, thoroughly enjoyable .Thank you to all"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Gorseness?
The best area to stay in Gorseness is Gorseness Village itself, as it offers the most convenient access to amenities and local attractions.

Gorseness Village is the heart of the area, situated along the Gorseness Firth. It's a compact and walkable village, with the main street, High Street, running parallel to the water. Here you'll find the majority of the local shops, cafes, and pubs, as well as the Gorseness Museum and the historic Harbour Master's House. The village provides lovely views across the firth.

For couples looking for a relaxing getaway, staying in Gorseness Village is ideal. You'll be within easy reach of charming eateries for evening meals and can enjoy leisurely strolls along the waterfront path or explore the local craft shops. The proximity to the Gorseness Distillery also makes it a popular choice for those interested in local spirits.

Families will also find Gorseness Village very convenient. The village green offers space for children to play, and the Gorseness Beach, a short walk from High Street, provides opportunities for seaside fun.
When is the best time to go to Gorseness?
The best time to visit Gorseness is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its most pleasant.

During this period, you can expect longer daylight hours and milder temperatures, which are ideal for exploring the coastal paths, visiting the Gorseness Lighthouse, and enjoying outdoor activities. The sea breezes are often refreshing, making it comfortable for walks along the beaches and through the quaint village streets.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway will appreciate the extended evenings for enjoying dinners with a view and leisurely strolls. The natural beauty of the area, from the rugged cliffs to the expansive skies, is particularly striking in the summer light, providing a wonderful backdrop for a relaxing trip.

For families, the summer offers the best conditions for beach days and outdoor adventures.
