We recommend the Dundonnell hotel as a great stop for anyone traveling the North Coast 500.
Pros:

The hosts were very gracious. The restaurant was really good. We enjoyed our dinner and a hearty breakfast the next morning. The beds were very comfortable in the room. It was a generous size and had a nice bathroom. We had an amazing view. The internet service was reliable.

Cons:

I can't really think of anything we didn't like.

Although the hotel is showing its age the staff more than compensated for this. A good place to stay on an NC500 road tr
Pros:

The staff were friendly, welcoming, proactive and dealt with the boiler failure that meant no hot water very fairly. The food was good, especially the breakfast

Cons:

The hotel has the feel of a slightly run down 1970s establishment. The avocado bathroom suite brought back many memories.

Excellent quirky hotel but really good
Pros:

The staff were great the food was excellent and there was live music which really added to the atmosphere

Cons:

The place is a little bit dated and could do with a refurb or at least a refresh. When we were there there was no hot water as the boiler had failed but that didn’t detract from our enjoyment

Very mixed feelings about this very retro hotel....
Pros:

The location is very convenient if you're on the NC500, as we were. Food in the restaurant was OK, which is a good job as there's nowhere else to eat for miles around! Good live folk music in the evening was a bonus. Room was spotlessly clean. The staff were working very hard to keep the place going.... see next section.

Cons:

We were contacted on the day to say that the boiler had broken, so no hot water or heating. They'd obviously tried their best to get it fixed, but not managed to. Not surprising on a Sunday in the Highlands, but extraordinary that there's no back up system in a hotel of this size. We were offered money off our evening meal in compensation.
The rooms are extremely old fashioned. No TV, ancient avocado bathroom and thin carpets. We felt transported back to the 1970s!
Overall, not good value for money.

Pros:

Un accueil exceptionnel par la mère de l'hôtelier malade ce jour-là. Toute la différence entre un authentique hôtel familial et une chaîne : une vraie chaleur humaine, le plaisir des rencontres, le sourire ; tout ce qu'on aime !

Great location, spacious room but old, cracking floor and thin walls.
Pros:

The room was at the end of the corridor so we weren't disturbed much by other guests walking in and out of their rooms. Staff were friendly, check-in was simple and the room (corner room) was very spacious with a lovely view of the Loch.

Cons:

The flooring and the doors were very old so there was loads of cracking walking up and down the room. The walls were also fairly thin so we could hear the neighbours talking.
