Borgie Hotels

"Ok, so the hotel room was a little faded, not to say shabby, although not offensively so. But this was more than made up for by everything else this characterful hotel offers. It’s like a cozy home-from-home in the northern highlands. The fact that the Altnaharra Hotel is genuinely in the middle of nowhere makes the comfortable lounge and roaring open fire seem even more welcoming. Management and staff were extremely friendly and attentive too. Most surprising of all though, was the food served at dinner. On arrival, the host explained that the hotel had only just reopened for the season (early March) and was not providing a full dinner full menu, but they could rustle up fish and chips, or a pie perhaps. So expectations were not high. However, the food actually served to me in the attractive dining room was a revelation. My haggis fritter starter and sticky toffee pudding dessert were both well above average, but the seared chicken and haggis main was a tour de force, similar to what you might expect from a top-end Edinburgh restaurant. The truth is, the hotel manager is actually a highly accomplished chef, but just doesn’t like to boast about it. So overall, if you’re looking for a cosy highland retreat, brimming with charm and character, and you value great food and friendly personal service, then I would recommend the Altnaharra Hotel unreservedly."

"this is a comfortable and well equipped cottage in a private settlement. The owners are selling and it will be under new management soon. The internet access was unusually poor but I understand is not normally strong. it is an idylllic and historic location with a small harbour, although the view is from the house is a little limited by the main building. There are all necessary amentities except a church within a few miles and the local beaches are astonishingly beautiful. We swam."

"Had a great stay. Calvin, Cara, and Adrian were amazingly hospitable and accomodating. Such an interesting place. Would love to return. Thanks"

"Room very comfortable. Stunning views of the beach. Staff very friendly and accommodating and breakfast service was lovely. "

"Poor water quality and no kettle provided in room for boiling "

"Looks nothing as grand as the photos room was comfortable enough but the meal in the snug was poor however breakfast was good. Seriously overpriced"

"Very comfortable house, amazing views!"

"The location of the house is great and the view of the bay is simply magical, especially in the sunshine.However, the cleanliness left something to be desired.In addition, some repairs were needed. There were windows that should not be opened. In the upstairs bedroom (the one with the shower), there was no hot water during the entire stay. At the end of the stay, the window in this bedroom no longer closed properly. "

"Spent a wonderful week of tranquility in this beautiful little cottage. Our family loved the holiday."
