The lengthened stay meant a room change for me which was accomplished with ease and with a smile... More

We spent two wonderfully relaxing nights at Melvich care of the superfriendly owners Jo and Rob during Easter 2011. What a place... on the top of the hill overlooking the beautiful bay, and with Orkney in the distance. The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring this amazing coastline. The room we were given was spacious and very comfortable, beautifully decorated... More

We stayed at the Melvich Hotel on holiday and were surprised to find hotels like this still existed. It is a small hotel but very well run. They have got it all right, the rooms are comfortable, the ambiance is excellent, the food is very tasty and well served, the whole package is more like staying with caring family than... More

We had our wedding at Melvich Hotel this weekend just gone. Jo and Rob have been utterly superb throughout the whole process, from suggesting entertainment to doing special menus and even providing my mother with the most beautiful birthday cake for her 72nd birthday the night before the wedding. The crew at Melvich gave us the most perfect wedding day... More

We were at the end of a long cycle trip and as we neared Melvich, we called the hotel on the off-chance of a room. We thought we were lucky enough to get a hotel, but had no idea that it would be such a wonderful experience. Friendly and helpful staff, huge room (with a great bath - worth the... More
