We really enjoyed our stay at Wild Orchid. The accommodation is basic but comfortable and certainly adequate for our needs. We stayed for about three nights and wanted to get out and about exploring. The hosts were very welcoming and had several excellent suggestions of what to do in the local area. We shared a meal with them on the... More

Having the need for a 9 hour legal break, our time here was from 3pm to midnight, not your normal Bed and Breakfast then. WELL, this was soon put right by the ever welcoming Kathy, cup of Tea and a slice of home made bread pudding went down well. our breakfast was to be an evening meal, Pie, Chips and... More

We stayed 1 night at the Wild Orchid Guesthouse and were very happy with the standard of the rooms. We had a decent night's sleep and found the room very quiet. Everything was spotlessly clean and there were plenty of soft towels and toiletries provided (the 4 star hotel we stayed in the previous night didn't even provide soap to... More

We stayed two nights and rented three bedrooms that had different standards for the same price: Two double with very small beds (1.20 m wide) and a twin. We missed at one double a bed table where to put the cup of tea. All rooms en suite with tiny bathrooms. The landlady was friendly and served an excellent breakfast.

The rooms at this guest house are tiny, and may even give a claustrophobic feeling, so is the en suit bathroom. The beds are much too soft, with worn out mattress springs. I have seen more friendly host in northern Scotland, but they may have had some bad experience with wild guests at the Wild Orchid. If you are looking... More

Only stayed 1 evening in Durness but we were very pleased with our accommodation. Janet and Kathy were extremely accommodating. We arrived before the room was available and they kindly offered for me to sit in the lounge area to do some work on my computer. The room was very comfortable, with ensuite and all we needed. They also provided... More

Nothing wrong with this guesthouse, but nothing to get excited about. We came from a fantastic B&B on Skye and so this was a bit of a disappointment. Wild Orchid looks and feels like an upgraded youth hostel. At that price, you can find a B&B with seriously more charm in Scotland.

Travelling around and visiting many B&B's, we missed the atmosphere you will find in a B&B and not in this guesthouse. Good breakfast, with lots of choice. Bit more commercially, with more rooms and the owners don't live in the same building, so in the night you are alone with the other guests. But however, the owners are very friendly... More

We stayed for 2 nights, made very welcome and the food was excellent. The guest house is owner run and they could not have been more friendly and informative about the local area. The residents lounge with TV, DVD's and books were great; the fast Internet was a real plus. We noted from other reviewers that they found the rooms... More
