We stayed 7 nights and were made most welcome. Although some might find the room small it was clean, comfortable and warm. Cathy provided us with an excellent meal each evening and was very informative about Durness and the surrounding area. Nick cooked delicious breakfasts and was very hospitable. Janet too was an excellent hostess. There is good parking on... More

This is a good place to stay at for 1 or 2 nights. Maybe not the best place to stay more than 2 nights as the room walls are thin, there's noise and it's not like a 4 star or anything. But it's clean and landlords are nice people.

Made a visit to Wild Orchid for the second time, and again it was a fine place to stay in a very relaxed atmosphere. Situated close to the sea side, clean and comfortable rooms. Breakfast was fine, landlord very helpful and positively promoting the Durness area and environment

Really, they do! This is the friendliest place I have stayed in for years, clean, with a great quality breakfast and you can hang out in the sitting room if you fancy company. Great parking, fast internet, fantastic walks straight out of the door. Cape Wrath is unfinished business for me and Faraid head with monster sand dunes a fascinating... More

We arrived on a stormy evening after hiking in North Highland gale force winds and rain. We were so welcomed. DVD of local area was offered on a comfy couch in the evening. A great breakfast the next day. Nick is a kind, thoughtful host who offers history and loads of good maps and ideas for day trips.

We stayed at the Wild Orchid for one night. Out of the seven different places we stayed at this is not one of the better ones. But it was ok for one night. I think it's quite disgusting with carpets in bathrooms, and that's the memory that has stuck with me. Even though I know this is not a hotel... More
