We had a lovely stay with Heather and Craig. Room 1 was ground floor, quite roomy and very comfortable. We enjoyed our evening meal which after dining out for a couple of weeks during our trip it felt like a perfect home cooked meal. We liked the options for breakfast and once again enjoyed our selections.

Homely, family-run inn offering excellent bed and breakfast. Our room was comfortable and brightly decorated and had an en suite shower room. Breakfast was excellent. We also dined at the bar/restaurant adjoining the B&B, which offers a good menu of delicious food prepared and cooked on the premises at reasonable prices. The bar is well stock with a wide variety of drinks.

Small country inn with friendly hosts. Rooms were clean amd comfortable. Breakdast was delicious. Ate in the bar on the evening amd the Venison casserole was famtastoc, especially followed by the fudge amd whosky cheesecake. All the food was freshly made by Craig amd Heather. Extensive range of local whiskies that are worth a look at.

First the good things about this property… it is clean and the owners are very kind and helpful and the food served in the bar and for breakfast is very good. I really would like to give this property a better review but I have to be honest. As other guests pointed out, it is in the middle of no where with only one dining option in the area being the restaurant at the campground. Dinner is available at the Inn and was very good but quite expensive for what it was. The Inn itself is old and the furniture is a mix of styles from the 70s and some antiques. The rooms are small and our bedroom was next to the small room that served as the sitting room and breakfast room which meant you could hear others in the breakfast room while try to sleep. My husband also complained that it had a musty smell. It also was quite expensive for what it had to offer, being the same price as the Gairloch hotel but not coming even close to the same standard offered. If you are looking for a clean hotel with friendly hosts and a good breakfast and decent dinner and are not concerned about your surroundings or the price than I would most definitely recommend the Strathy Inn.

Disliked: Amenities
The facility offers free wifi but the signal was very weak and dropped out repeatedly. For international travellers who rely on wifi for communication and planning will find it difficult to use. Breakfast is not offered early for travellers on an early rise itenerary. No wash cloths in the bathroom for showering. Lighting in the room was dim and one bulb did not work. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. Check in was fine.

Very limited options in this part of Scotland so I didn't have any great expectations prior to arriving, but was pleasantly surprised. Yes it is a bit tired looking in places, but looking past that, and far more important, it is welcoming, clean, comfortable and serves very good food. Everything you could want after a long day travelling or walking. The hosts are very dedicated and great to chat with. I would have happily stayed longer and would have no issues with staying there again should I be in the area.
