Lovely hotel

This was a lovely out of the way hotel with a large room and bathroom. Our stay was very comfortable. We did not have breakfast in the morning so can not comment on the food

Nice old building in a pretty town

Clean, simple room. Shower was ok, low on pressure. Biggest problem is the walls are paper thin. It was too hot but was fine with the window left open. Everything else was good, had a lovely stay.

Good place to stay overnight

Property needed some investment. Staff were excellent. Meal was good. Would have liked a little more choice for evening meal. Generally good value a pleasant stay
Darron, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s a wonderful building with rich history. Excellent location. Downsides, it does not come with parking and that should be amended. While I realize they’re working on building a new car park, parking for guests was a concern. Air conditioning would be nice. It was really warm in our room

Seen better days

Located in a lovely village this hotel has seen better days. My room was grubby, the bathroom covered in mold and lots of dirty patches on walls and ceiling. Very limited facilities and services, rooms not serviced all week.
John, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the most beautiful Hotel, the decor was exquisite so was the dinning room & bar, everything was outstanding.
Gail, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rooms are not serviced, not enough staff, restaurant closed before closing hours, food horrible, dated and run down- the place needs big investment, it has clearly seen better days. Perfectly fine for sleeping, but other than that…

Highland stay

Nice stay very comfortable though could do with a revamp a bit expensive for what we got
Paul, 4-night trip

Very poor quality and choice at breakfast. Despite paying extra the bedroom was both small and in need of refurbish. We left a day early.

Stately old mansion

This is a huge old mansion converted to a hotel. It has a quirky charm and was fine for our needs for a quick stop.

Historic old hotel

A very nice old hotel with great nature around. Could feel the history
Marianne Rustad, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay was good for a one night sunny weekend.

The stay was for one night, check-in was smooth. We had booked family room 1 double bed and 1 single bed. But we got 3 single beds. The little was not happy sleeping alone and kept falling of the bed as there were no barriers. Spring beds are very uncomfortable. The room was spacious and old mansion kind. Single glazing windows.

Highland Fawlty Towers

What was once a grand hotel in its hey-day, it is now very tired, e.g. peeling paint, water stains on bedroom ceiling, etc. Very limited menu selection for evening meal, but food was the hotel's only saving grace. Everything else, sadly, had a Fawlty Towers vibe to it. The hotel needs a lot of investment and a complete overhaul of its staff training programme.

Parking was a bit limited, but I was still able to park reasonably close to the entrance
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A most pleasant surprise in the heart of the highlands. A gracious old building, welcoming staff, great rooms and good food all came together to make for a great stay. Would have liked to have spent a bit longer, but have flagged for a return visit once retired. Strathpeffer was a total surprise and made for an even nicer stay!
