So I arrive 30 minutes early and were extremely friendly, and was allowed to sit on a LOVELY sofa and enjoy a cold drink. The room was immaculate and smelt very fresh. Had a rather large tv in the room. Everything I could have wanted would definitely return!!!

We highly recommend Myrtle Bank Hotel. My adult daughter and I stayed here two nights on our visit to Scotland and loved the hotel's welcoming and nice-but-not-too-stuffy vibe. …

We stayed at the Myrtle Bank for two nights while travelling on the NC500 and had a warm welcome. I would definitely recommend a stay there. Our room overlooked the loch, it was spacious and very well equipped. …

We stayed at the Myrtle Bank hotel for two nights as part of our North Coast 500 trip. What a find! The location is stunning, our room was a King Suite with sea view. Everything was clean, modern and very comfortable.The staff are lovely, very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant for both nights of our stay. The food was delicious, varied and beautifully cooked. We had the leek and potato soup, scallops, chicken pie, sweet potato curry, salmon and slow-cooked belly pork over the two nights.There is also a separate bar with cocktails and a coffee and cakes section. Parking is immediately outside of the hotel. A lovely relaxing place which we are sorry to leave.

We didn't spend the night here, so this review covers only the dinner we had. We had made reservation because in October a lot of restaurants in this area are closed, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays. …

We visited most of the restaurants in this area and this was by far the best. Good food and service at reasonable prices with perfect view. Huge menu, which usually worries me but no complaints. Will definitely return on our next visit. Thanks
