The bedroom we got was en suite double. The bed was big king size and very comfortable as well as bathroom was good size. Loved stay in this hotel and loved food. The Haggis Scotch Egg was amazing. Nice sunset through the window! :)

Visited the restaurant at the Smoo Cave Hotel for their Pasta Party prior to the Cape Wrath Marathon. Seafood pasta was superb as was my husband's fish and chips. Large portions of fresh, home cooked food. We loved it so much we went back the next night for more.... had mushrooms to start, superb steak and cranachan for dessert. Hubby... More

Stubbled across this hotel and was delighted with it. Food was excellent. Bar was friendly and welcoming. Staff were lovely. Room was modern and spotless. Had two small children with us who were made to feel very welcome. Proprietor even took them to see the animals on her father's farm next door. If your in the area I would recommend... More

This little jewel is one of the best restaurants we dined at in Scotland. We ate in the pub section. Three starters, 3 entrees, and a cheese board for dessert... all were excellent!! If you try nothing else, the Haggis Scotch Egg is brilliant! How does she do it???

We did not stay at Smoo Cave Hotel but on a wet, windy day we dropped in for a hot drink and we were pleasantly surprised. Warm, bright and really cheerful staff it was the perfect antidote for the miserable day outside. We decided to go back after visiting Smoo Cave and had a great lunch which was reasonably priced...

Initial impressions are not good. The hotel has been unsympathetically extended over the years, but the exterior hardly matters. Three of us checked in and were all shown to fresh, modern rooms with decent en-suite shower rooms. We met in the bar for food and drink, and the juke box was too loud, more in keeping with the hotel's other... More

My wife and I were touring the north of Scotland in early September in particularly inclement weather. Smoo Cave was closed because of the heavy rain, so we decided to have a meal and spotted Smoo Cave Hotel close by. We arrived mid afternoon expecting a limited choice, but our host was friendly and very obliging and offered a wide... More

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Smoo Cave so much the first time, that we had to include it in our Honeymoon this past July. We are very glad that we did. The hotel is Spotless. The rooms have everything that you need, including a very comfortable bed, and an amazing view. We always enjoy our time... More

We were staying locally and decided to have dinner at the hotel. The barman, who unfortunately doubled as our waiter was rude and aggressive right from the start. He seemed to go out of his way to spoil our evening. Taking orders late and then announcing we couldn't have what we asked for, my fresh haddock was anything but and... More

Our room was newly refurbished and spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The room was VERY small with not even a chair or table, so any reading or computer usage had to be done in the dining room. Happily there were comfortable places to sit there and adequate light. We ate dinner there and our seafood selections were... More
