- Verified traveler (6/5): Overated. - Very basic room, clean but no complimentary water in room. Reception was unmanned so access to service involved going into the bar to request anything.
- phil (10/5): - Great place to stay. 4 of us stayed one night, dined there, everyone really enjoyed the food, rooms and location. Loved it!
- Vickie (10/5): Excellent hotel! - Comfortable, quiet, attractive accommodations and pleasant staff. Great food and beverages.
- Anthony (10/5): - 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.
- Matthew (10/5): Good stop - Helpful staff on check-in. Room has recently been renovated so in excellent condition. Food in the restaurant is great, as was breakfast. The scenery around the hotel is breathtaking
- Stewart (10/5): - This is a superbly run family business. All staff do warm. It was so nice to have a hotel offer really nice food and certainly well priced highly recommended.

- Sammy (10/5): - Excellent experience and pet friendly.
- Iwona (10/5): - 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.
- Marion (10/5): - Beautiful location, charming property. Super friendly staff and excellent food
- Sophie (10/5): 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.
- Susan (10/5): A gem on a hill - Bettyhill is fabulous in every way--wish we could stay longer! The staff is super friendly and helpful, the views are gorgeous, it's clean and the food is delicious!
- Kevin (8/5): 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.
- stuart (10/5): Amazing stay - Amazing stay at a family Run hotel. So friendly, super Clean, food great enormous breakfast. Highly recommend.
- Peter (10/5): - 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
- Richard (10/5): - Lovely hotel with amazing views. If the Sun is shining and drink outside looking at the views is amazing. Good food, modern facilities, nice bar…highly recommend.
- Tiosha (10/5): - We enjoyed the cottage option for our family of five. The view from the hotel and restaurant is breathtaking, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and the food served on site was delicious. We hope to be back!
- Ed (10/5): - Zach was amazing!
- M (10/5): - Staff, location, veiws, all fantastic. I would recommend to all
- Sonya (10/5): 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.
- Dave (10/5): Excellent - Amazing stay in the cottage. Couldnt have felt more welcomed. Staff were brilliant and dogs very welcome

The area is beautiful and the staff was the friendliest we encountered on our entire trip! I hope to return and highly recommend it!
- Chris (8/5): - 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.

- Don W (10/5): Interesting experience. - We had a wonderful stay. Booked the family double room for its space and size. Amazing views from this room! Spacious, comfortable and clean. Only downside and did not realize when booking but the bathroom is private BUT … in the hall! You have a private corridor for your room and bathroom but the door is glass with see through curtains. A fellow guest opened the door to the bathroom on my wife and startled her. I’m sure an accident but unnerving .

We had 2 rooms with bathroom ensuites. They were clean and the beds were comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely again.
- Jacqueline (10/5): Definitely recommended. - Fabulous hotel.
