Achmeney Glamping Pod Larger than Average Pod, hotel in Halkirk

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!

Sandras Backpackers, hotel in Halkirk

Sandra's Backpackers is set in the centre of Thurso, the UK’s most northerly town. This simple hostel offers rooms and dorms with free Wi-Fi, shared bathrooms, free bed linen and towels.

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.

    A really lovely hotel.

    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.

    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

    comfortable and elegant traditional historic hotel, lovely public areas in the lounge area and library, well appointed room and spacious bathroom with window. excellent food at breakfast and dinner - as well as full Scottish breakfast, there were Scottish kippers and locally caught poached smoked haddock, both delicious. I had the best veggie curry that I’ve had outside a curry house, all home made. there is a lovely river walk just outside. peaceful and quiet, parking right outside.

    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!
