About Smoo Lodge
I'm writing this well after our trip around the North Coast 500. I loved Durness and, though there are so many places I would like to revisit, Durness is near the top. For one thing, to spend more time on its beaches but, primarily, to be able to go out to Faraid head and, hopefully, photograph some Puffins. Smoo Lodge was where we stayed on our pass through Durness, and, unfortunately, it was only for one night. The lodging was clean, and the hosts friendly. I don't recall the breakfast at this B&B, for some reason -- I'm sure it was good, but perhaps we just scooted back on the road. I believe that I reserved it because 1) it was available and 2) I was intrigued by Smoo Cave, which was nearby. However, this lodge dates back to 1790, so you're getting some history in there as well! And it has a side that faces the sea. If I had to stay again, I'd likely reserve something a bit closer to Balkaneil Beach (due to the birding and photography aspect), but I'd recommend this B&B to anyone.

Smoo Lodge B&B
Merlin was an absolutely fantastic host, waiting up late for us (due to some car troubles on our way up), and delayed breakfast to allow us a lie-in which was massively appreciated.
We will definitely be staying again if we visit Durness again, hopefully for longer than a night!
Merlin & Kyunghee were excellent hosts - from the warm welcome to the amazing homemade breakfast (we had the fantastic Korean breakfast but there were many other options too, like continental or English/Scottish).
We were even gifted some amazing cake for a road trip snack for our NC500 route!
Our room was spacious and extremely clean. All the amenities we could think of needing were provided and more. We couldn’t find a single fault with our experience at Smoo B&B - our water even had a lemon slice in it - a very nice touch that makes all the difference.
Additionally all COVID precautions were in place and we felt very safe. A one way system and booking slots for breakfast meant that we were able to maintain social distancing rules even indoors
I know this might sound like a cliche but I will compare all my future B&B stays to my experience at Smoo B&B and I will be looking to visit again as soon as I can
