Since 1819, Farr Bay Inn has stood as a beacon of Highland hospitality on the shores of Farr Bay Beach in Bettyhill, perfectly positioned midway along Scotland's iconic North Coast 500. Our beautifully preserved Manse House — once home to the local church minister and converted to an inn in 1983 — now offers individual guest rooms where centuries of character blend seamlessly with contemporary comfort. For those seeking something truly unique, our bespoke shipping container guest rooms, designed and built by renowned Scottish company Iron and Pine, provide a striking modern retreat set within our peaceful grounds.

Your four-legged companions are welcome too — pets stay completely FREE!
