This wee hotel has seven bedrooms, and can sleep up to 14 persons and is a perfect stop on the A9 for touring the North Highlands and Orkney.

What The Ben offers:

*Easy parking and direct access A9
*Basic but clean and comfortable accommodation
*Bicycle Lock-Up
*Free Wi-Fi to all visitors (There are two rooms where wi-fi is not accessible)
*Sky Sports and ESPN and Golf in Bar (not a spit and sawdust pub, therefore seldom noisy)
*Function Room with Sun Lounge for Dining, Private Parties and Training Sessions at Reasonable Rates
*And Most Importantly Good Value Good Home-Made Cooking
We offer good rates for long-staying guests especially during the off-season periods

The large car park is easily accessible from the A9 heading northwards out of Golspie just after the bend after the Orcadian Stone Company and St Andrews church. There is further motor bike space within the internal courtyard, and bicycles can be stored in the locked outer shed. This is especially popular with cyclists on the John O'Groats and Lands End hike, or for the experienced mountain bikers to the best UK down hill run on the Highland Wildcat Trails, which is now getting very popular. (Opened late 2007)

Free broadband access is available throughout most of the hotel. SKY SPORTS is there to view in our cosy Public Bar. The Crack is nearly always good, and our visitors do come back to enjoy the best of Scottish humour. It may be prudent to advise our new visitors that Golspies are guaranteed to be particularly huggy after a few drinks and make you very, very welcome.

Our Function room is available for Private Events and Conference/Training Facilities are available. Our kitchen prepares The Best in Homemade Cooking at a very affordable Price. We have many repeat visitors year after year, who cannot resist stopping to either have a light bite or a full blown meal. The Ben Team will be glad to get chatting with you when not too busy and are always ready to ensure that you enjoy your visit.
