Top Strathy Hotel Reviews

Bettyhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Zack was very pleasant and helpful."

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."

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."

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."

Cozy Cabin Retreat in Halkirk

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic find! An idyllic treat in stunning scenery. It's so quiet! Andrea, the host, was lovely and introduced me to her property with such pride that I felt right at home. Bed was incredibly comfortable and the hot tub was a huge treat!"
