The staff was so accommodating even though we were a late arrival. Ensured we knew the kitchen would be closing shortly and let us get our dinner order in. Beds were clean and comfortable. Felt wonderful climbing into that after a long day. Warm towels and a robe made showering feel fantastic! The complimentary breakfast was very well stocked and they cooked fresh to ensure there was warm food for everyone. If I were to travel in the area again I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much for the exceptional service.

Excellent stay over 3 nights, room was good, comfortable and had everything you would expect. I had a single so not huge but more than enough room for me. Staff were all excellent, friendly, very willing and efficient to help when required. Breakfast (hot or cold) was very good, bar meals were also good though not the cheapest.

This property is very beautiful and so were the surroundings. It is a hotel but with the comfort of a country house. The employees were very friendly and the room was very large and cozy. Without a doubt, as tour guides, we will recommend it to our clients.

Room was comfortable enough. Bathroom was quite small. Staff is very hard working and wear a lot of hats doing multiple jobs at once. Nice that a warm breakfast buffet is included. If you’re looking for a stay far from anything this is your place.

Wonderful surprise.

Really great stay in room 1. Price not overly suitable for a business trip however I would definitely be happy to stay here for leisure. Comfortable and very welcoming staff who were constantly there to help with any requests. Great facilities, evening meal was lovely, breakfast wasn’t tasting very fresh which was surprising.

First off, if you plan to stay here, plan to drive a half hour away minimum to get food from a restaurant. The food in their restaurant is quite literally frozen reheated food, and it cost ~$100 USD per meal for two people. The hotel itself is surrounded by beautiful mountains and the staff are very friendly. That being said, there was nothing special about this hotel at all, and with a ~$400/night price tag, I was thoroughly disappointed. I would not stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was one of my all time favorite locations for a hotel in Scotland - out in the remote highlands, misty mountains and lush green valleys with rivers running through. The bedrooms were decorated perfectly to fit the vibe and were cozy, although a little small. It was quiet, even leaving the windows open to let the fresh air in (as long as you were on the side of the hotel facing out to the mountains). The part that really hit home was the breakfast in the morning which was in the most epic part of the restaurant privately reserved for guests with a delicious breakfast buffet. It looked more like a Switzerland lodge. The staff were excellent the whole time. The only issue we had was a later checkin (9:30 pm) where the phone number on the door was unreachable that left us in a bit of a panic to not get in for about 20 minutes but we were able to go next door to the staff accommodations and get someone to let us in. Across from the hotel is their cafe and this was a staple spot to get caught up on laptop work during our trip, with excellent wifi speeds and good coffee. We loved it and would make this a for sure stop on the way to the Isle of Skye.

To be honest, I made a mistake in booking here. BUT what an AWESOME mistake! I meant to book in the city of Inverness. At first, I was disappointed in myself. But then I got there. The beauty is intense. And wait there’s more. About 200 feet from the Inn is what turns out to one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever done in my life. The beauty is so intense it kinda brings tears to your eyes. The Inn is sooo charming. And their food is insanely delicious! I had salmon one night, and I think it was the most delicious salmon I’ve ever eaten. Their breakfast buffet is awesome with tons of choices. I stayed 3 nights and hiked my face off each day. I was not in a car and it was really easy to get a bus from Inverness bus station (next door to the train station). I highly recommend if you love hiking and then down time in a charming Inn with delicious food. I can’t say enough good things.

When we arrived at the hotel no one was at reception, we had to find a member of staff in the restaurant. The room was fine, nothing exceptional, and the window did not shut properly (a theme round the hotel). There was a bath in the bathroom, but this could only be filled from the shower as there were no taps! There is no where else around to eat (which we guessed when we booked, so not a fault of the hotel), so eating in the hotel is the only option. The menu had various different options from pizza to Indian meals and traditional English meals. I ordered the fish and chips to be told ‘there was a problem with the fryer’ so this was not available. We were sat by a window which had a draft blowing through it. My wife asked a member of staff to close the window, he said he didn’t know how to so would get someone else to do so, no one came to look at the window. The food was OK, nothing amazing. Again breakfast was OK but nothing special. We were asked to book a time when we arrived at the hotel, there was no reason for this. Overall, there is generally nothing wrong with the property (apart from the windows) and the staff were all pleasant, but there is nothing special and the hotel as well the meals are overpriced for what you get.
