It is only half an hour’s easy drive to the ferry and we were pleased that we’d chosen to stay in Melvich rather than the fairly unattractive town of Thurso , which is five minutes from the port,...

From the several hairs in the expensive food ( I jest not) greeted with a shrug and no refund - ask about the limited menu in the cold and uninviting restaurant before you go, not afterwards - to the 'hot' breakfast served cold, to the prison block accommodation that mysteriously disappears from all the photographs - demand to see a...

Stayed at this fabulous Hotel whilst on a business trip. The trip was extended from four days to two weeks but the ever helpful owners and staff managed to accommodate the changes to my itinery, during an extremely busy period for them. The lengthened stay meant a room change for me which was accomplished with ease and with a smile... More

We spent two wonderfully relaxing nights at Melvich care of the superfriendly owners Jo and Rob during Easter 2011. What a place... on the top of the hill overlooking the beautiful bay, and with Orkney in the distance. The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring this amazing coastline. The room we were given was spacious and very comfortable, beautifully decorated... More

They have got it all right, the rooms are comfortable, the ambiance is excellent, the food is very tasty and well served, the whole package is more like staying with caring family than... More
