Strathview Lodge

Oh this place! Such a hidden gem! We stayed here on our day 3 of Scotland Road trip on the way to offshoremore and Ullapool. Oh wow. Its right next to the main road, so you don't need to have a detour. It's on a little hill so you have an amazing Highland view with the Loch. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was so very good and you can have more if you are not full. The room is spacey and the bed is comfy. Everything, literally everything was so very nice. Would love to visit again and 100% recommend!

At the start of our journey of the nc500 we were saddened when we went to check in to find out our booking was not honoured, despite all our paper work . After an hour, Gavin was finally convinced that it was their mistake and hugely embarrassed. However his partner throughout this time did not want to engage in reading their email confirmation and the fact full payment had been made, she was very rude. This was reinforced as we left the property with our deposit returned when during the time in the kitchen it was clear our booking would not be honoured even though we had an email from the b&b themselves. We were left to leave the property unescorted, and had to find our own alternative accommodation at this late stage in the evening. We were pretty shaken up by the ordeal, as a result we would not recommend this b&b to anyone. This is a measured response 3 days after and the benefit of having excellent b&b,s as we continue our trip.

It is just off North Coast 500 Road - excellent location just outside Dornoch The room itself was very light with views across the loch All facilities and amenities were provided in the room and toiletries of excellent quality The most important consideration for an overnight stay is a comfortable bed - all the bed linen was of highest quality with pillow protectors, mattress topper and down light weight duvet. The breakfast was excellent with expresso coffee and generous choice of full cooked breakfast or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs The owner was open to ideas and even though it was a constructive criticism regards access from carpark to house he responded positively It was quite a hike up narrow steps from car park to house entrance - possibly a little challenging in wet or wintry conditions.A one way system which enables you to drop your luggage off could be a winner I suggest a see through out but not in blind inanition to curtains to improve privacy as the windows facing the terrace and house entrance The last two points are minor discussion points but do not impact on rating

Amazing views from the patio doors of the room or step outside to get the real effect. A bed bedecked in fine white linen looked and proved itself for a fabulous nights sleep. Breakfast is served in a relaxing dining room with a freshly cooked breakfast of your choice. Beautiful white towels in the bathroom complement the decor and the thoughtful toiletries on offer. Honestly, the places we’re going on to stay in during our trip have a lot to live up to, this really is a jewel in the crown of the BnB world, congratulations to our hosts, you rock!
