If you like off grid and quirky (which I do) then this is for you. The staff are great, the guests mixed well and the location is both remote and stunning. The bedroom I was in was functional and clean and in line with expectation. The public spaces are awash with bric a brac and curios from another era. It makes for an unusual and interesting environment and a perfect antidote to homogeneous hotel chains😊

This impromptu road trip was a last-minute decision for me. I have been eager to visit this location for several years, despite the fact that it is a 10-hour drive one way and a 1,000-mile round trip. I can honestly say what a pleasure it was to stay here. A hotel from a bygone era, a national treasure. It's one of life's simple pleasures 🙏 ☺️ #travel #roadtrip #nationaltreasure #Raymond

It was remote and unique

The only negative I could find was the beds in our our room. The mattress tropper was so soft and uncomfortable and I struggled to sleep on it. Maybe a little upgrade on the mattress topper front would make this place absolutely perfect!

The location is stunning, it’s out in the sticks. Exactly what we wanted and you’re not far from the next town. The staff at garvault was lovely and attentive. We got tea and cake on arrival and the dinners were home cooked and very delicious!

Garvault House is an absolute gem. Situated in the most secluded of settings, it offers unforgettable nights under a starlit sky, where the only illumination comes from the heavens above. The cuisine is top-notch, and the service makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can truly experience the essence of Scotland. It is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Scottish retreat.

Wonderful hotel with real distance to everything, ideal for relaxing or for great excursions. Very nice staff (I arrived completely soaked and immediately got a tea and a delicious sandwich in the warm room), good food and a fine bar. A great country house, not new, but comfortable and cosy. The manager, Ollie, has many interesting stories to tell.

Unique, remote, Ollie is a star!

A place in the middle of the nature, nothing else. Mesmerising. The perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the remote northern highlands and meet other travellers

The drive way was hard to cycle to

A lovely, warm and friendly place in a wonderful location. The room, shower and service was excellent. It was a perfect stop on my route to John O'Groats to recover.

Breakfast was excellent. Very kind service by the staff. The location of the hotel is outstanding. The place to be to feel the Highlands.

Extremely friendly and attentive owners. Cozy room and lobby with stunning views. One of the best experience in my life. Next time I will stay at least 2 nights instead of just 1. Best wishes to your hotel!

Although the evening meal was nice the breakfast wasn’t as good,my son wasn’t keen on the fry up,but the porridge was great.

The location was excellent,we were informed beforehand that there wasn’t a TV or coffee and Tea facilities in the rooms which wasn’t a problem,as we entertained ourselves with a game of scrabble. Although I do think it would have been nice if we were offered a coffee after our evening meal.

Breakfast could have been better.

Super location if you're looking for solitude and scenery.

Garvault House was a unique experience, staying in the middle of nowhere - ideal for touring the highlands of Scotland. The owners were very friendly and provided tea and cake on arrival. As it is off-grid the facilities provided were different to 'normal' - no television. However there was a fire in one of the downstairs rooms (very welcome as it was cold and wet outside) and you socialised with other guests.

No mirror in the bedroom. A kettle and coffee packs would be great too. I would highly recommend letting them know well in advance for any dinner you may need.

The location is absolutely stunning. No building in sight for 20 miles. It's an amazing experience. Breakfast was superb, egg in particular was delicious. Staff were very kind, wonderful people with smile all the time
