Testimonials | The Highland Haven

An absolute hidden gem – beautiful views, comfy beds, delicious food and amazing hostess. Recently hired The Highland Haven for a hen weekend and had an absolutely brilliant time. Bronagh was so lovely and helpful, catered to our every need and went above and beyond for us all. The bunkhouse is very warm and cosy, not to mention finished beautifully and those showers!!

Absolutely beautiful bunkhouse – probably the best hostel/bunkhouse accomodation Ive ever stayed in. Lovely modern decor, clean rooms, well equipped, warm shower. Nice Scandinavian theme. Cosy with wood fire. Wonderful customer service + warm welcome from our host.

The house is in a beautiful scenery. You can feel the wildness of this part of the world, enjoying a very warmfull house! And the family who welcome you is very very nice and friendly!

We couldn’t have wished for anywhere better. This was our (3 members of one family with 2 friends , a girlfriend and a toddler) first stop on the NC500 and nowhere else could match it. The welcome was warm (the owners lighting us a log fire on arrival) , the accommodation fantastic, clean and really quirky – we loved the beds and the privacy of the bunks meant those of us on our phones and reading didn’t disturb those wanting to sleep. Facilities were great, breakfast a treat and the views fantastic (particularly watching passing ships whilst lovely and warm).

Fantastic location overlooking the meeting point of the Atlantic and Pentland Firth with Orkney as the backdrop. The building is modern, light and airy. Very well fitted out. Bronagh and her husband could not have been more welcoming and helpful.

Box beds great and so private. Lovely atmosphere. You feel that you could live in the spaces. One of the best hostels I have used. I can recommend it. Book early. Ask Bronagh for her tips on what to see and where to go. Don’t forget the Groatie Buckies.

What a wonderful location and the team are SO helpful and kind!!

Beautiful and well equipped accommodation. Excellent friendly service from the owners. Would definitely stay again.

The kids (and we) loved the bunk beds, the lego and other toys and the breakfast. Spacious, nice design and well equiped. Would love to come back anytime! Great walks to the nearby pebble beach where we spotted seals in the water (single track path requires proper footware and our children are used to such paths).

It was very comfortable. friendly and clean and tidy. Location for us was perfect. The self catering facilities were very good.
We really enjoyed our stay – thank you. We did a very pleasant walk down to a local bay which was very attractive with lots of beautiful wild flowers.
