Location was just a few miles from the NC 500. The cottage was home from home. Lovely location by the river. The host had left us a welcome basket of goodies and fresh milk in the fridge. The beds were super comfy - pillows and bedding were excellent. Cooking facilities had everything you need and the lounge was comfy.
Set in Halkirk and only 31 km from Sinclair's Bay, Achmeney Glamping Pod Larger than Average Pod offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The glamping pod was spacious and very cozily decorated. Everything was tidy and clean. What made this pod special were the various little touches left by our wonderful hostess, Andrea. From personally guiding the way to the glamping pod (Google Maps got confused) to the coffee, tea, hot chocolate, delicious jam and many more things provided, we could not have asked for more. Unfortunately, we could only stay for one night, as we had quite a long ways to go still, on our trip around the NC500, but whenever we're back in and around Halkirk we will absolutely be back!

This is a hostel so don't expect a 5* hotel. The room was clean the beds were a bit "springy" also all the rooms had en-suite, this hostel doesn't have parking, it was on street breakfast was in the kitchen/diner as was a help yourself, there was a good selection.

Handy location, clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed.
A really lovely hotel. Food (breakfast and dinner) was amazing (apart from Tart Tatin very soggy pastry). Staff professional, helpful and friendly.
Disappointed couldn’t have a cocktail at bar. However, a fab place to stay.

Excellent holiday let.
Excellent holiday let. Immaculate, well equipped, comfortable, rooms, all a good size. Off road parking. Close to village supermarket. Easy access to local sights of interest, Castle of Mey, John O'Groats etc. Very good value.
The perfect getaway. Achmeney pod sits 3 miles from Halkirk in a peaceful quiet rural area. The pod is surprisingly bigger than it looks. It comfortably accommodates 2 with a double bedroom, kitchen and living area with its own toilet and shower. The bed was cozy and the pod is well insulated so always nice and warm. On arrival Andrea came and met us and showed us around and how to work the hot tub. ( the hot tub is amazing lol) will definitely recommend to friends and family and will definitely come back again
Slightly off the beaten track to Thurso, so in a quiet and peaceful location, yet still handy for the ferry to Orkney. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout. Decor was simple and effective, with furniture of very high quality in the public rooms and the bedroom. Food was being served in the bar - which was again tastefully furnished , the bar itself being tucked away from the eating area. The menu choices were good, and the food was cooked well. This hotel is a little treasure.
Amazingly good staff - especially the receptionists and waitresses. Interesting hotel. Full of anglers when we visited. Located on the bank of the River Thurso. Easy drive to Thurso, Wick and John O'Groats. Our room was one of two larger ones on the top (second) floor - very spacious and clean. Unusual bathroom arrangements in the room - quirky but fun. Good cooked breakfast. Enjoyable and well-presented evening meal.
The villa was ideal for our party of 4 and was also dog friendly, a big plus for us. The villa was very clean and bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom had plenty of space. Very comfortable beds. Also, good parking space adjacent to villa. Villa is owned by the nearby Ulbster Arms hotel. We had couple of meals at hotel and both were excellent and the staff were very pleasant and professional at all times.
We were put in a deluxe lodge instead as our booked accommodation was no longer available. The lodge was part of the nearby Ulbster Arms Hotel also owned by the owners which was fantastic. Food at the hotel was very good.
Fantastic location, with easy reach of the north and east coasts, providing easy access to beaches, historic sites and walks. Convenient shop in Halkirk and great meal at the local Ulbster Arms made eating easy.
Beautiful older hotel in village of Halkirk and a 15 minute drive to Thurso. Most clients there for fishing on the River Thurso next to the hotel - nice walks. Very well maintained and wonderful breakfast!
