A gem on the NC500
Pros:

Drumbeg Hotel was an excellent stay on our NC500 trip. The road to it as described by others was very challenging but well worth the views. Hotel has parking and the owners were friendly and helpful. Dinner was amazing, homecooked. Bar well stocked. We stayed in two of the double rooms, Stag and Thistle and they were amazing! Beautifully decorated, beds very comfortable and views outstanding. We even got given a flask with fresh milk for tea. Breakfast offered a good menu and was of a really high standard. A boutique hotel! Would thoroughly recommend.

A Gem of a Place
Pros:

Quick and easy check-in and run by a lovely couple. Spotlessly clean. One of the highlights of our stay (and quite unexpected) was the little bar and free to play pool table providing a few hours of entertainment in the evening after a long day on the road! We also enjoyed a hearty, home-cooked dinner and breakfast too, both delicious and with a beautiful view!

Pros:

During our driving holiday around Scotland, we booked a stay at the Drumbeg Hotel in the Lochinver area, and it turned out to be a real highlight of our trip. The journey into Drumbeg itself is an experience – a picturesque and adventurous drive along some of the most scenic and narrow roads we've ever encountered.

The hotel has a rustic, old-world charm that immediately makes you feel at home. While the rooms are on the smaller side, they are clean, cosy, and welcoming.

One of the standout features is the dining room, which offers a wonderful view of the water – the perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. Speaking of meals, the food was absolutely delicious and comforting, some of the best we've had during our travels.

Highly recommended for anyone exploring this beautiful part of Scotland and looking for a place with character, charm, and great food.

Friendly Host, home cooked food.
Pros:

Our room was very humble but clean and set up with everything we needed for an overnight stay. The host was attentive and had a great sense of humour and useful driving tips. The road in and out is narrow and one lanes, but the scenery was outstanding. The home cooked meal was fabulous.
