We hadn't booked but the staff were very accomodating considering my husband had strained his knee cycling. Bar great, bar staff put money in the juke box for us to choose our own song list. Room was slightly above our budget, but nice anyway. Perhaps need more staff on in the morning to serve breakfast. These are small points, really... More

Took my family twice to the Smoo Cave Hotel during my last holiday in the area and both times the food, service, ambience and general sense of welcome was fantastic. The local scallops were large, succulent and plentiful and the Loch Eriboll langoustines were equally memorable! And platefuls were generous to a fault! Both Frances and Hugh deserve a huge... More

Tired from a journey of walking and driving, we found this amazing hotel by chance in Durness. At first we were not convinced by the entrance but when we saw the room, we were delighted: it was just perfect! The extra pounds for the en-suite room are absolutely worth it: it has a breathtaking view on the countryside, the hills... More

This is a review for the food only as we did not stay, though would not hesitate to stay in the future. My wife and I stayed in Durness for a couple of days while in the highlands on holiday and ate at the smoo cave hotel as most other places were still closed for the winter. However, we were... More

We stopped off here a couple of days ago and received a warm and friendly welcome. The bar area was stocked with a pool table, dartboard and jukebox. We had an excellent meal by a roaring fire. It was a quiet afternoon when we called but the staff were chatty and attentive. We plan to call back whilst we're in... More

Found this place by chance as we were passing through the area a few years back. Eaten/stayed here a couple times since. Always been impressed by the quality and friendliness of this place. Meals are great and the prices just right. Haggis Scotch Egg...Will definitely be back.

Always head here when in Durness as the food is always great and the welcome warm. Option of taking meal in bar beside nice fire and along with good fun locals, or in large dining room, if you prefer a nice quiet meal. In either event, staff will always happily tend to your needs. Usually for nice specials on offer... More

The Smoo cave Hotel is where all the excitement happens. Apart from the excellent service the entertiament provided by the locals can be exciting. From Talented Musicians to exhibitiionists, all done in good taste. Sometimes you have to let your hair down! Frances and her husband always welcoming together with he staff who she treats as family. Food is excellent... More

This is a pleasant little hotel which seems to be a hub for the area. Lovely fresh fish for tea, comfortable room, friendly people. What more do you need? Smoo Cave an amazing place to see, the John Lennon Memorial rather sweet and Cocoa Mountain serve the best hot chocolate in the world!
