All staff we interacted with at Bettyhill Hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. The property itself is steeped in history and renovated to keep with the history yet incorporate modern comforts. Every part of the hotel is clean and the food was exceptional from the takeaway we ordered for dinner to the made to order hot breakfast.

Overated.

Very basic room, clean but no complimentary water in room. Reception was unmanned so access to service involved going into the bar to request anything.

A great stop along the NC500 route! The views were absolutely amazing and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, with a tasteful, minimalistic design that made the space feel calm and comfortable. We really enjoyed the tasty food, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s also very dog friendly, which made our stay even better. Would definitely recommend stopping here — it’s a perfect place to relax and take in the scenery.
