NC500 Hotel, Bars & Great Restaurant


We are open and look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Beautifully refurbished hotel in the idyllic village of Dunnet, situated 4 miles from the mainland’s most northerly point Dunnet Head. Blessed with an enchanted forest, nostalgic Dwarwick pier and a sweeping white sandy beach stretching for over 2 miles. The bay offers great opportunities to sunbathe, paddle, swim, surf and indulge in other beach sports. Dunnet offers an extensive range of outdoor pursuits for active families, such as surfing, wind surfing, horse riding, kite buggying and sand castle making for the less active why not sit back and relax in Logan’s Bar or our Pentland’s Lounge and watch a variety of sport on our Sky TV.
