    Special location

    Fantastic view, very good point for walking, silence, very good cooking from Tracy, very clean, the street is very small to reach the lighthouse, is not comfortable for everyone. Amazing nature, we see some seals !

    Good location

    This property is mired in controversy. We stayed there unknowingly and felt uneasy throughout our stay. There is little privacy and the owners are over present. They are preoccupied with their battle to keep the public out of the area and are most unprofessional in...More

    I'm sorry you felt the need to post such a scathing review. You rented our self-catering apartment, the First Officers Quarters, for a week, and left early, complaining to us that there were other people in the building and that you had expected to have...More

    About
    Hotel description
    A comfortable guesthouse set in an unrivalled, unique location. Cosy rooms, B&B and evening meals available. Family, double or twin rooms. Minimum booking two nights due to the remote location. Please note that Rua Reidh Lighthouse runs as private holiday accommodation only and is not open to the public. There is a public car park at Melvaig where people can park and enjoy a walk to the lighthouse, but the road to the lighthouse itself is private with no public right of vehicle access.
