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

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

Having been disappointed by a hotel in Wick, we checked Trip Advisor for others and found this one. We were not disapointed! The young team are enthusiastic, friendly and helpful, as well as knowing exactly what they're about. Their reasonably informal approach does not detract in any way from their ability to make one feel welcome and the food is... more

We read the previous reviews, since the change of ownership, and thought we would be in for a treat. How right we were! The newly-decorated room was immaculate, well-furnished, and the bed was comfortable. Views over the bay were breathtaking – indeed, the beaches round here are fantastic and make the journey even more worthwhile. We were made very welcome,... more

The Melvich has been taken over by a wonderful young couple just over a year ago. They are full of enthusiasm and made us extremely welcome. We stayed in a really beautiful, recently refurbished room with an amazing view over the beautiful gardens to the sea and headland beyond. The room was very comfortable with a fabulous bath room, including... more

The hotel has been taken over by a young couple who are in the process of refurbishing it to a very high standard. We found the rooms very comfortable, and the service was friendly, efficient and second to none. The food was excellent, and it was our overall impression that nothing was too much trouble for the staff to make... more

If you book this expecting there to be real ale, you will be disappointed. It has been taken over and refurbished and now only serves the fizzy stuff. Apart from that, it is in a really nice rural location with great views over the sea / bay. It seems to have moved up market with it's refurbishment. Very friendly, foods... more

We arrived after a long drive to a very warm welcome from the new owners. They are in the process of renovating the hotel and are doing a lovely job, without causing any problems for guests. The view from our lovely bedroom was breathtaking and it was the same from the diningroom. The food was great -full marks for the... more

The new owners have really turned this place around.The rooms were extremely comfortable with fantastic flat screen tv's and fresh decoration with a beachy feel. Our room had a lovely view of the beach and hotel garden.The restaurant served great food including specials with local seafood and the puddings were second to none. We would travel this far north again... more
