The most Northerly hotel within mainland UK with views across to Orkney and the Old Man of Hoy, and from our woodland views to Dunnet Head. Originally built as a staging inn for mail coaches which came via the coast road from Wick. In the 1861 census it was listed as the Prince of Wales Inn but by 1871 it had become the Berriedale Inn and you can still see the iron rings for hitching horses beside the front door.
The hotel continued as a coaching inn for the Castle of Mey. The Berriedale Arms was converted into a hotel during the 70's and 80's and has various upgrades by previous owners. The name was finally changed to the Castle Arms Hotel in the mid 80's as guests thought that the Berriedale Arms was in Berriedale and not Mey. The Hotel retains much of its character and charm with the thistles above each of the dormer windows and a cockerel above the main entrance.
Currently there are 2 rooms inside the main hotel and 4 rooms around the courtyard which was originally the old stable block.
