Very good food, and comfortable rooms. The beach is surrounded by fabulous sand dunes, and surf crashing onto a pristine sandy beach. more

Four of us stayed one night here on a motorcycle tour of the Highlands. The food in the hotel is excellent and the dinning room was very pleasant with great views. The owner was very nice and friendly and we enjoyed our evening there very much. The rooms are clean and modern and comfortable. I agree that the entrance is... more

This hotel is not as good as it looks on the website. There is limited off street parking and the entry is cold and unwelcoming. The newly decorated lounge is pleasant but the corridors were cold and there was a stale musty smell thoughout them which was very offputting. Our room was a master twin and was a decent size... more

While not wishing to address the individual points of this review, and indeed the previous one, we would like to deal with the issue that has arisen regarding our website. We are hugely proud of the work that has been completed on this building over the last two years. The team here at the hotel has striven to improve facilities...

I was quite excited about staying at this hotel as the website made the location and rooms look lovely - I was disappointed. Good points: the location is good, with nice views. We had dinner there on the first night and my steak was lovely. Bad points: the rooms are really small. They have recently been refurbished and are adequate... more

We stayed at the Melvich Hotel in May 2009 as part of a two month tour of UK and Europe. This was a really lovely hotel. It is not in Thurso, but about 24 miles to the west, along the coast road. It is in a very quiet locaion, overlooking some of the most beautiful scenery in that area of... more

My partner and I recently stayed here and we had a lovely couple of days. The staff were all excellent and really friendly, just like catching up with old friends. The views and surrounding countryside were stunning and the food was first class, especially the haggis and black pudding in whisky and shallot source starter and the new BBQ. The... more

We chose this small hotel due to the good reviews. We received a very friendly welcome on arrival and our standard double, en-suite room was very light, nicely decorated and clean. The only thing that let the room down was the quality of the bedding. It was very poor and the fitted bottom sheet " struggled " to even cover... more

It was ok

When we arrived we found the staff welcoming and helpful, the room was fine, clean and ready for occupation. We were slightly dissappointed that there were no guest lounge and that it was obvious the lounge and other areas were in the process of renovation, but it did feel that the work had being going on for some time. We... more

This hotel was rebuilt a year ago....well part of it and therein lies the problem. It is very much work in progress. The rooms are great. The restaurant gives the impression of a guest lounge come bar come restaurant. If they could get the guest lounge sorted out it would be worth the money. I hope they do as everything... more
