Welcome to The Portland Hotel, a small family run hotel located in the harbour village of Lybster made famous during the filming of Netflix hit The Crown. Sitting perfectly on the North Coast 500 route at the Quatre Bras crossroad the hotel is ideally placed being just a short drive from Wick, John O' Groats, Thurso and the perfect destination for an overnight stay when catching the early ferry to Orkney and further afield to Shetland.

The hotel holds a unique history and is known for its award winning locally sourced food, hearty portions with comfortable, individually styled rooms and friendly staff. A lovely place. First impressions, the car park was spotless. Our room was again good quality with comfortable beds and a nice en suite bathroom.

We stayed here as it was well placed for a 5 day NC500 itinerary. Sadly that's the only positive thing I can say because the hotel is extremely tired. Our room was very small and clearly hadn't been decorated in the last 20 years. Breakfast was good but restaurant had no atmosphere.

Everything was perfect. This was the perfect second stop on our NC500 journey. The food is absolutely gorgeous. We had dinner and then Breckfast the following morning.
If you're after a special treat I'd recommend the steak!
Thanks again to all the staff and please pass on my compliments to your chef/s, deffinetly a memorable stop.
