This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
Castle Varrich is a short climb from the village for a view over the whole Kyle of Tongue, and Coldbackie beach, a long pale crescent of sand, is about two miles north.
Book one of rooms 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 15, 16, 17, 20 or 21, because the rest do not take dogs.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 20, Per dog per night, capped at GBP 80 per stay
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs are welcome in rooms 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 21, and not in the others, so the room number has to be chosen at booking. The lounge and bar take dogs when they are not too busy. If you leave the dog in the room, hang the do not disturb sign or let reception know. Dogs off the furniture and beds, and cleaned off before they come back in from the beach.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
