“Lairg Highland Hotel presents a practical base for exploring the Northern Highlands, especially for cyclists tackling the NC500 route. This family-run establishment emphasizes locally sourced meals and welcomes pets, though the personalized service appears inconsistent based on some accounts. I find the hotel's location ideal for those drawn to the local cultural scene and outdoor pursuits near Little Loch Shin.”
