4- and 5-star hotels in Muir Of Ord
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star places to stay in Muir Of Ord, a village at the head of the Beauly Firth in the Scottish Highlands. It is for couples, families and small groups who want self-catering comfort, cottages or a farm bunkhouse rather than a city hotel.
Staying in Muir Of Ord
Muir Of Ord is a Highland village in the Beauly Firth area, and these 8 places sit in and around it: along Great North Road, at Highfield Mains, Easter Urray, Old Urraymarybank and Ryefield Farm at Tore. The addresses are spread over the surrounding countryside, so a car is the practical way to arrive and to move between the village and the wider area.
Self-catering dominates the list. Little Chestnut, Willow Lodge, Blantyre Cottage, Glebe Cottage and Evelix the Old School House have kitchens, while Carndaisy House and Home Farm offer breakfast or meals. Couples get quiet garden cottages with jacuzzi or sauna at Little Chestnut, families get family rooms and cots at Home Farm and Evelix, and small groups or walkers fit Black Isle Berries Bunkhouse. With 10 to 271 reviews behind the rated properties, these suit short breaks and longer Highland stays alike.
