We decided to have a relaxing night away and decided on the Overscaig after reading the reviews on here. We received a warm welcome from the friendly owners who provided a faultless stay in a charming, clean and inviting hotel. We were there during the last week of the season and were the only guests which was nice as it... More

We spent just one night at Overscaig having travelled south from Durness through sensational scenery and lovely weather, but would happily have stayed longer. Our family room (and indeed the whole hotel) was very fresh, clean and comfortable and the welcome and service were warm and friendly. The food was excellent - made even more enjoyable by the views from... More

My wife and I returned to this staggeringly beautiful part of Scotland for the first time in 40 years. The hotel is ideally situated in the centre of Sutherland and right on the edge of Loch Shin. The welcome from Martin was heartwarming and he was a fount of knowledge on the points of interest and wildlife in the area.... More

We found the hotel late in the evening, tired, in the middle of nowhere. What an excellent surprise. I can't talk about luxury even when our room /family app/ was newly refurbished and very nice. It's all about atmosphere with very friendly people who run it, with its home like living room etc. You feel like at home. It's one... More

It is a measure of how good a hotel this is, that my children still speak fondly of their stay there, back in June 2012. It is not cheap, but not all that expensive either, the food is very tasty and well-presented, room was clean and tidy and had some nice little touches in it. Owners very hospitable (Martin especially... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfortable room, excellent views and the food was fabulous. I had Ullapool kipper for breakfast and it was the best I've ever jad We intend to return. Added bonus was watching birds and deer from dining room window. Residents' lounge comfortable and well stocked with books, dvds and games if required. A very quiet place... More

A very warm welcome and great food at an hotel set in wonderful surroundings. Don't be put off by the seemingly remote location. It is a great spot for touring and there are plenty of things to do within the area. It is so nice to return in the evening to enjoy a meal overlooking Loch Shin. Bedrooms are excellent... More

In spite of its relatively remote location, the owners maintain the hotel in excellent repair, the rooms are well equipped, the bar is well stocked and the residents lounge enjoys a huge library of books and DVDs. Although quiet at the time we visited, the hotel has the air of doing a good trade. Of particular note is the food.... More

My son and I chose this place at the last minute, but it was the best place we stayed on our trip. Not exactly on the beaten track, it is well worth the trek to get there! Rooms were immaculately clean and cozy, with all the comforts of home. Every need was anticipated, from the tea service and bottled water... More
