Melvich Hotel

The antithesis of frenetic urban life, the Melvich Hotel is situated on Scotland's northern Seaboard, 18 miles West of Thurso on the A836 and 40 miles north of Helmsdale on the A897. The Hotel has 14 en suite modern bedrooms. These are fully equipped with colour TV, coffee/ tea making facilities, radio alarms, and shower with WC. The lounge bar with its peat fire has wonderful views over the bay to Orkney. There is also a games rooms with a Pool Table adjacent to the Public Bar where you can experience true Highland Spirits!! The large garden allows guests to take in the breathtaking sight and sound of the surf from the bay. In our Lounge Bar we are particularly pleased with our selection of 100 Malt Whiskies together with our own Real Ales and extensive wine list. Our menus cover all tastes and budgets. A main course ranges from £5.95 to £15.00 and includes local game, Melvich Lobster, Caithness roast beef, steaks and traditional pub food. The hotel hosts the UK's most northerly brew-pub. This is probably also the country's smallest micro-brewery. The beers regularly produced range from Real Mackay (3.8%), Split Stone Pale Ale (4.2%), Fast Reactor (4.8%) and our premium offering Edge of Darkness (7.0%) only available on prescription due to its mind altering qualities!
There are endless opportunities for walking, beautiful beaches in Melvich and Strathy, a links golf course only 10 minutes away in Reay, bird watching and wildlife with an RSPB reserve at Forsinard (Golden Eagle, Osprey, Badgers, Otters, Wildcat and Red Deer). We are also fortunate to have occasional visits from Whales and Dolphins.
Day trips to Orkney from John O'Groats enable guests to have a comprehensive tour of the island covering Scapa Flow, Skara Brae, The Italian Chapel etc all in a day. Alternatively for those wishing to take their own car and stay on Orkney there is a ferry from Scrabster.
For those feeling energetic there is the challenge of our local Munros, Ben Loyal and Ben Hope.
