The folks who work there are the best of the best. Rooms are clean, all appliances work, bathrooms are huge, big windows, a fabulous bath & water pressure to write home about. Cannot recommend highly enough!"

Northern Sands Hotel

Northern Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"After a less satisfactory night in a much more expensive hotel, I suddenly had to book this one at the last minute because of travel chaos. What a great find. The room was ideal for doing some work (maybe a wee wifi extender would have made it even better and quicker), and it was great to be able to eat on-site - and that was good quality too. I'll certainly be making this my go-to in the far north when I'm in the area."
