Room was average in quality but overpriced for what was provided. Dinner menu was clearly designed for the busloads of tourists present. It was limited in scope and imagination and again, overpriced given the range and quality on offer. Breakfast too, was limited in choices and lacked finesse. This used to be a really good hotel, with excellent cuisine. Sadly, this is no more the case. Overall, average at best.

Mostly as expected but hot water was an issue.
Our stay was as mostly as expected except for the issue of no hot water till we checked out in the morning. We were told the problem was caused by the Scotland water company so the hotel had no control over the issue. Nevertheless, it was not very pleasant when you cannot shower after a long day of travel.

Beautiful older property with small rooms and uncomfortable bedding. Our room was not easily accessible. The bathroom was very spacious - a strange concept to the size of the sleeping area.

Seen better days
A few things were fine, especially the shower (my room was on the 1st floor). But several things were poor - insufficient parking spaces for the number of rooms, very dry overcooked chicken in my dinner main course, poor quality meat products at breakfast, freezing cold bathroom, shaver light did not work and no instructions for thr heating panel. Fortunately,I was able to get the instructions on the internet.

Lovely hotel, lovely view.
Lovely hotel, clean room, bathroom was beautiful. Gorgeous view from Mountain View room. Breakfast was very good. Only slight flaw was the floors were quite creeky, so often hear folk moving around, that said we weren’t woken in the night due to any loud noises and there was a wedding on that evening. Would stay again.

Good Highland hotel in beautiful setting.
Very good hotel at reasonable price. Food basic and mediocre with poor menu choices. My room was in the attic on 4th floor and the lift only goes up to the second. With a convoluted trek up and down stairs to get there. Beautiful Highland setting and the staff were friendly and helpful. 3* rating about right.
