Here's a more polished version of your message: "Heather and Craig are outstanding hosts, and their warmth and love for hosting guests is truly evident. The breakfast is excellent, with a fresh homemade fruit salad that adds a personal touch. We stayed in the family room, which was very clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The beds were comfortable, and the ensuite met all our needs."

Homely, family-run inn offering excellent bed and breakfast. Our room was comfortable and brightly decorated and had an en suite shower room. Breakfast was excellent. We also dined at the bar/restaurant adjoining the B&B, which offers a good menu of delicious food prepared and cooked on the premises at reasonable prices. The bar is well stock with a wide variety of drinks.

A wonderful place to stay for anyone traveling along the north coast, whether by car or by bike like us on the NC500 and our way from Land's End to John o'Groats. Lovingly furnished rooms, spotlessly clean, a small bar full of character with the chance of very good food in the evening, equally good breakfast in the morning. Craig & Heather, the owners, take care of everything. We can highly recommend the Strathy Inn

Everything about the place is unique, seems to me. The hosts, Craig and Heather, are the best. The food (and whiskey) cannot be topped. It is located right on the most stunning, rugged, beautiful coastal area I have ever seen. Of course, you need a car, and more time and energy than you probably have, to enjoy it all sufficiently.

Overnight stay in in the north of Scotland
Welcome was uninspiring. Room was ok but directly of the breakfast area. Towels were handkerchief size. All internal access locked. Food was microwaved and each ping indicated the arrival of the next dish. Breakfast bacon was overcooked but eggs underdone. The microwave fixed one but exploded the other. All a bit amateurish for an established place. Room itself was ok.

More like a large B&B than a hotel. The owners are friendly and attentive. Heather is a great cook and we enjoyed dinner and breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and clean. There is no town in the vicinity, so once settled in, don't anticipate going out again.

First the good things about this property… it is clean and the owners are very kind and helpful and the food served in the bar and for breakfast is very good. I really would like to give this property a better review but I have to be honest. As other guests pointed out, it is in the middle of no where with only one dining option in the area being the restaurant at the campground. Dinner is available at the Inn and was very good but quite expensive for what it was. The Inn itself is old and the furniture is a mix of styles from the 70s and some antiques. The rooms are small and our bedroom was next to the small room that served as the sitting room and breakfast room which meant you could hear others in the breakfast room while try to sleep. My husband also complained that it had a musty smell. It also was quite expensive for what it had to offer, being the same price as the Gairloch hotel but not coming even close to the same standard offered. If you are looking for a clean hotel with friendly hosts and a good breakfast and decent dinner and are not concerned about your surroundings or the price than I would most definitely recommend the Strathy Inn.

Good sized, well appointed, clean room. Very friendly and welcoming hosts, nice welcome from Heather when I arrived and clear explanation about the room. Went to the bar for a beer and had a nice chat with Craig who was behind the bar. Breakfast was lovely. I stayed here during my NC500 (North Coast 500) road trip, I strongly recommend it as a nice place to stay.
