Melvich

Melvich Hotel is a lovely place to stay when you’re driving along the NC500 in Scotland. It is located close to a beautiful beach that can be reached easily by foot in 15min. The staff of the hotel is super friendly and attentive, the breakfast was great and also the hotel restaurant offers a large variety of yummy dishes (including gluten-free options!)! They also have a bar that offers a large selection of spirits (with obviously lots of whisky 😉). Our room was a bit on the smaller side - especially coming with two large suitcases but otherwise there’s nothing we didn’t like. We can definitely recommend this place!

Firstly, amazing views in a beautiful location. On arrival the host was friendly and showed us to our room. The room itself was a good size and clean however the divan sheet (skirt) was absolutely filthy. Dinner was superb (extra) and highly recommended. Breakfast was good overall with good ingredients but no Orange Juice which was odd. All in all we felt it was good but could be a lot better as the place felt a little run down and drab. Also found it odd that the dining room windows were cluttered with dusty large ornaments that obscured the wonderful view. The bar was also the same clutter.

Had originally booked for road trip in 2020 & impressed with cancellation & refund decided to rebook. Great Dog friendly hotel & good location, near the main road but quiet. We were lucky to get a room with a sea view. I've stayed in many hotels of all grades over the years but never have I stayed in one before where there is absolutely nowhere to hang your clothes, not even a hook on the back of the door. We were lucky to be there in sunny weather but imagine if you were experiencing typical damp Scottish weather. Also no mirror at all in the bedroom only the bathroom. The bathroom was small with a cubicle and shower curtain. I imagine this is an oversight but as we stayed 2 nights hanging space would have been good. The locally sourced food & drink was good & a nice breakfast.
