Castle Arms Hotel  

Friendly efficient staff in a hotel in a good location. Visited as part of tour of North of Scotland

Bedroom was not well cleaned. Floor and skirting boards were very dusty.

Visit to the Castle of Mey (holiday residence of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother), about 1.5Km from hotel. Hotel owners V.friendly and interesting - but - the hotel is about to change hands.

Fabulous views and setting near the Castle of May. The dining room and bedroom were very nicely appointed with all you could need including electric blankets. Plus our dog was welcome (providing she did not sleep on the bed!!!).

Despite all the effort that had been put into the facilities, it was all let down by the service and inexperienced staff. Plus the food left much to be desired ( may be we chose the wrong things!!) and don't ask for anything that is not on the menu! Is this the only place in Scotland where you are refused porridge for breakfast? I could say more but they had tried hard and a little more effort would have made this place truly excellent given their situation.

Friendly service. Convenient location for our purposes. Nice food.

Friedliness of welcome, and homeliness of staff; good, wholesome food, reasonably priced.

It was of no consequence for us but we were unable to get apicture on our television having followed the instructions we were given. Also it was a rather small tv, but it did not bother us at all.

High amount of facilities: Hotel, Restaurant, Bar, Shop in one place! Very friendly owners!

It is a characteristic hotel. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The service and restaurant are good. The owner is friendly and willing.

Excellent location for visiting the Castle of Mey and north coastal region (and Orkney). Staff courteous and friendly. Room very satisfactory. Restaurant excellent for breakfast and evening meal. We cannot understand why this hotel has only two stars!

The staff were friendly and the food was good. However our room in the annexe was badly in need of updating and the shower/wet room had broken tiles on the floor with mould growing between cracks. The room was cold at night - 3rd week in June

Annexe rooms very dark abnd not up to standard

We had a wonderful nights stay. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. We had a couple of cold pints at the bar before dinner which hit the spot after a long day of driving. The dinner was satisfying and just what we needed before heading to bed. Breakfast was also very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful and when we told them our route they suggested some great places to stop in on the way. All in all a very good stay.

The owner and staff were great, I liked where the room was located it was joined on to the main building meaning you come and go as you pleased at any time day or night.

The rooms were a bit dated but does that really matter as long as they are clean which they were.

The owner of the hotel was very friendly and gave us a tour around the hotel. Location is excellent if you want to visit the Duncansby Stacks and Dunnet Head.

Shower lacked power, bath was fine though.

Il titolare decisamente "caratteristico", simpatico e disponibile. Puer essendo la struttura un pò datata e non impecabile, è adeguatamente compensata dalla disponibilità del personale e da ottimi pasti. Utile per chi transita nella zona di John O'Groats, come tappa per il tour del nord della Scozia. A 500 mt si trova un Castello visitabile ed una fattoria interattiva.
