Stay was for business. I ate at the hotel for 2 mornings and 2 nights. Food was absolutely outstanding. Staff were friendly and a good laugh beer was relatively cheap. Would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel 100 %

What a pleasant surprise. This hotel is wonderful. We were not expecting much, being the remote location, but Northern Sands exceeded all expectations!! They are kind and thoughtful and the room was great. My husband has celiac disease and they went above and beyond making sure he had everything gluten free. Thank you for your excellent service!!

North Sands is one amazing hotel. Staff are so friendly, always having a smile and happy to chat. Food is out of this world, both breakfast and dinner. We are doing NC500 & Orkneys, it rained for 2 days, the staff could not do enough to ensure we dried out.
