Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The drive here is fantastic coming from the South, avoiding cows and sheep and seeing the best views possible. When at the lighthouse, the scenery keeps on giving with the lighthouse, the rough coast and the sheep. You can overnight here with a van.

I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE.
May 2022 • Solo
I’m a bit loathe to write those review if it means less availability at this fantastic place.

The accommodation is welcoming and the facilities wonderful. Comfy beds, well appointed kitchen and a relaxing sitting room … not that you will be spending much time indoors due to the plethora of activities and sights surrounding this impressive building.

Yes, it’s a lighthouse but it’s also a base from which you can explore this truly beautiful part of the world.

Beaches, walks, views … the area has it all.

The lighthouse is also the setting off point for the 3 km walk to the Old Man Of Stoer sea stack which you MUST do.

The downstairs flat is dog friendly too which was a huge bonus as we could bring along our two rascals.

I can only say, I LOVE this place, don’t want to leave and can’t wait to get back … we are already planning our next trip.

Good cappuccino at world's end

When you're there it feels like you're at the end of the world. Definitely try the cappuccino in the mobile whale watching cafe, it's delicious!

Wild & Windswept

Visited the lighthouse during a stay in Inverness. It's an interesting place to visit, if a bit remote. A good stop on the North Coast 500 if the weather is good. When we visited it was windy but thankfully dry!

A charming, cliff-edge jewel in the breathtaking Scottish highlands
Aug 2021
We enjoyed three wonderful nights in the exceptionally atmospheric surroundings of the lighthouse in Stoer. Clean, comfortable and incredibly cosy, the upper flat affords stunning views of the surrounding land- and seascapes. The rooms are generously proportioned and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly want. The attentive owners are extremely quick to respond to queries. The nearby beaches of Achmelvich and Clachtoll are jaw-dropping. A trip to the Old Man of Stoer is essential – we were lucky enough to see an eagle soaring above us as we reached the viewpoint. Highly recommended accommodation in a beautiful wilderness.

Beautiful location and walk
Jul 2021
A stunning location with the car park just below the lighthouse making it a nice uphill walk to the house and surrounding area or if you are more physically inclined walk along the stunning coastline.

Lovely Walk
Sep 2020
Great place to visit when doing the NC500. It is well signposted and is about 4 miles off the Lochinver to Drumbeg scenic road.

There is a walk along the cliffs to the Stoer Sea Stack.

Excellent views.
