The Spotlight on The Mey Hotel

Historic Highland Comfort with a View

Modern charm meets traditional style at The Mey Hotel, a beautifully refurbished 19th-century coaching inn nestled in the peaceful village of Mey. Just 8 miles from John O'Groats and surrounded by stunning Scottish landscapes, this award-winning hotel offers a quiet, character-filled retreat for travelers exploring the northernmost reaches of the UK. With cozy rooms, heritage details, and views of Dunnet Head and the Orkney Islands, it’s perfect for unwinding before or after a concert adventure.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Mey Hotel is ideal for those attending intimate gigs and local music festivals in Caithness or venturing to events in Thurso or Wick. After a night of music, guests appreciate the serene atmosphere, making it easy to recharge. While not in a bustling nightlife hub, its free parking and quiet rural setting offer a relaxing contrast to louder venues. The free WiFi in the lounge bar also makes it easy to upload clips from the show or catch up on setlists.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a scenic base with character
- Solo travelers ticking off bucket-list gigs in the Highlands
- Couples making a romantic weekend of it
- Fans seeking peace and fresh air after a lively show
- Budget-conscious music fans who prefer charm over chain hotels

Food and Drink Options

Guests can relax in the on-site bar after exploring local venues, and the hotel’s traditional lounge with a flagstone fireplace is perfect for a nightcap. While there’s no mention of 24/7 room service, the hotel’s warm hospitality means you'll feel well looked after. Breakfast is available, ideal for those who’ve stayed up late enjoying music. Plus, local eateries and pubs are a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, its bar is a cozy spot to wind down. For more action, nearby towns like Thurso and Wick feature pubs and small venues that occasionally host local artists. The quiet location makes it a great choice if you're looking to enjoy the show—then escape the crowds.

What People Say

Reviewers regularly praise the hotel’s friendly staff, spotless rooms, and stunning views. Many love the traditional charm combined with modern touches from the recent refurbishment. Guests also highlight the tranquility and easy access to scenic walking routes and wildlife viewing.

Areas for Improvement

The rural location means you’ll need a car to reach nearby concert venues or late-night food. Some guests mention that the WiFi is only available in the lounge bar, so don’t count on streaming in your room. But hey, a digital detox might be just what you need after a loud night out.

The Bottom Line

For music lovers seeking a scenic and peaceful base after a Highland gig, The Mey Hotel delivers charm, comfort, and quiet in equal measure.

For sure, we'll come again.

Liked: We had a wonderful stay at The Mey Hotel. The warm welcome from Emma and Euan made us feel instantly at home. The room was cosy and spotless, and the food—especially the Caithness beef stew—was absolutely delicious. A perfect base for exploring the north coast and Orkney. Highly recommended!

Great stop over on our...

Liked: We were met with a warm welcome at reception by the owner who also runs the hotel. In a real cliché, they did everything, looked after guests, looked after the bar, ran the kitchen and served breakfast. A real gem of a place.Rooms were very clean, very well decorated and the bathrooms brilliant (no mould in the bath / shower
Disliked: We woke up on Sunday morning to find cloud in the sky!Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Nothing could have been improved, it was a brilliant stay.
