Hotel Overview

The newly refurbished Mey Hotel is a 19th-century coaching inn and Visit Scotland award winning hotel just 8 miles from John O'Groats, in the village of Mey. It offers free WiFi in the lounge bar (not high speed broadband but enough for emails etc) and there is free parking on-site.
Set in 5 acres of open land, the building is surrounded by beautiful Scottish scenery with extensive routes to enjoy. A variety of seabirds can be spotted around The Mey Hotel, wider local Area and nearby coves to explore along the coast.
After seeing the local area, guests can relax in the bar. Other amenities for guests include a lounge with a flagstone fireplace, and you can also admire views of Dunnet Head, the Pentland Firth, and the Orkney Islands.
Rooms are newly decorated, with an en suite bathroom, free toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee making facilities (if you require fresh milk then please bring this with you on arrival).
Our hotel is a 200 yr old building. It is not a modern 5 star hotel in a city centre. We have limited internet (you are on holiday). Sometimes the weather/climate makes it seem colder, the room are centrally heated and do not have individual controls but we do provide additional blankets and other items. The welcome will be warm and the food will be cooked fresh for you but we also have limited staff and have to know if advance of any requests. allergies , additional requirements. We are a husband and wife team of 2 and provide a personal warm and friendly service. But we are not a city centre hotel with unlimited staff and need to work to set timings for breakfasts, dinners, check-ins and checks-outs etc. If any of this is an issue then we would politely ask you to book elsewhere.

Formerly Castle Arms Hotel

Before December 2022 The Mey Hotel was known as Castle Arms Hotel

“A welcome shelter when the weather turns”

15 Oct 2024

Conveniently close to John O’Groats. Spacious, well appointed room with “highland funky” decor. Home-style cooking for a tasty dinner and breakfast. Exceptional selection of whisky and tasteful choice of background music made for great ambiance in the dining room.

The hotel has been beautifully renovated, and a great deal of care and thought has gone into the decor. Loved the touches in the room with the Highland Coo hotwater bottles and the temperature kettle! The bed was very comfortable and room a lovely temperature. Emma and Ewan were wonderful hosts and the food for both breakfast and dinner was fabulous. The bread and butter pudding was to die for... I was very sad it had run out by our second night!
