Great location for the North Coast 500, beautiful setting with a fantastic sunset looking down to the beach. All the staff very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were incredibly clean and they have obviously recently renovated all of the bathrooms to a high standard. Dinner and breakfast were both to really high standard.

Disappointing element was that they do not permit corkage, particularly as I had phoned ahead and was specifically told this was possible and purchased a “special occasion” bottle of wine accordingly. Given that the Hotel had told me this was possible, I would have appreciated the Restaurant manager offering flexibility - but it was a hard no.

We booked several hotels around the NC500 route, and I have to say, from online pictures, this is the one I was most dubious of, but I am happy to say that it has been the best one we've stayed in so far.

The view from the front deck and restaurant are absolutely stunning. The pictures online do not dp it justice. The room was well kept, clean, and tidy. It was a little on the small side, but perfect for the one night we stayed.

For breakfast we asked for vegan, it was no issue, and really tasty. We even had vegan haggis. I've never eaten haggis before, vegan or otherwise, and was pleasantly surprised to discover how delicious it was.

I definitely recommend this hotel if you are traveling the NC500.

The hotel was particularly busy when we arrived, which meant parking was difficult. Our bathroom was down the corridor from our room, which was exclusive for our use, however it required a key code entry which my wife was not able to use due to her medical condition. It would much more sense to have the same lock on the bathroom door as the room, to ensure easier entry.
The staff were terrific and the food was great, so all in all we enjoyed our stat at Bettyhill

Stayed in the cottage as it was out of season, so the hotel was closed. Lovely cottage to break our NC500 journey - good facilities. Needed some support when the heating hadn't come on, and one of the owners was on site within 10 minutes of a text - brilliant service! Would highly recommend.

It was a very nice room. Comfortable bedding. Large washroom. Supper and breakfast were both very good and the coffee was nice and strong! The best hotel on our NC500 adventure.

A great stop along the NC500 route! The views were absolutely amazing and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, with a tasteful, minimalistic design that made the space feel calm and comfortable. We really enjoyed the tasty food, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s also very dog friendly, which made our stay even better. Would definitely recommend stopping here — it’s a perfect place to relax and take in the scenery.

Excellent hotel, would stay again

Great location, very clean room/bathroom. Lovely restaurant - good range of meals and good service. We stayed on a Saturday night, so the only downside was that the hotel bar was very busy with a few local rowdy customers. It would have been nice if there was a separate bar area for guests or table service, so that we could avoid dealing with people at the bar.

NC500 stop - lovely hotel

Excellent stop on our NC500 holiday. The room and bathroom were lovely and clean with the only thing letting the bathroom down was very limited storage for toiletry bags. The staff were all really friendly and the food was lovely.

Situated in a fairly remote location this hotel provided an oasis of calm. The rooms were excellent. The food in the evening was excellent although the limited choice of red wine by the glass was slightly disappointing. All in all an excellent choice for a night on the North Coast 500

Perfect place to stay

Fabulous place to stay. The hotel is on a hill with sea views in some of the rooms. Staff are great, service was excellent , hotel is spotlessly clean and we had dinner and breakfast here and both were delicious. Probably the best place we stayed on our NC500 tour . Get a sea view room if you can.

The owners did a pretty good job at renovating this place though some upgrades would help improve the quality. There was some damage on the wall behind the door and some of the shower surround wasn't properly fitted. However, the mattress was awesome, staff were absolutely impeccable, and the food was tremendous--some of the best we've had throughout Scotland. Would absolutely recommend.

There was also a really good breakfast service. The staff and hosts at the hotel were brilliant, very welcoming, friendly and efficient. We will definitely stay here again.
