An overpriced Victorian relic in...

Liked: Excellent location in highlands, but not so good for roads. Good food from kitchen on first night (both I and adjacent table were pleasantly surprised).
Disliked: This is a relic from Victorian times - with furnishings and (dis)comfort to match. Beds were very very soft mattresses. Bathroom was grubby and in need of repair, as was main door and corridors. Came back at end of trip on 2nd dqay - and room/bed etc had not been touched - no housekeeping done whatsoever. This place is so overpriced.I didn't eat dinner on 2nd night - the look of the serving staff completely put me off returning to the dining room.2nd day breakfast - bacon was rancid. Not a nice experience - I left all of the cooked breakfast and exited.

Superb

Very good

Liked: Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large, nice and well appointed. The wifi was a bit weak.. but good enough for emails.
Disliked: The hotel is quite remote and other than their own restaurant, there are no other options for food. The food was nice but a bit pricey.

Lovely hotel, great staff

Liked: Really nice hotel, great staff and food. Not the most convenient location but the surroundings were really beautiful. We used this as a base to visit Handa island (about an hour away), climb Ben Hope (about 30 mins away) and visit Torrisdale Bay (about 30-40 mins away), I would recommend all of these places to visit. I'll definitely come back to stay in the future.

Very good

Liked: Very relaxing overnight stay. Barman who checked us in and was on duty that evening couldn't have been friendlier.Old school style room but comfortable and it had a brilliant shower.Excellent scrambled eggs and quality smoked salmon for breakfast.
Disliked: Great cooked breakfasts but lacking healthy options. Would have liked to have seen fresh/dried fruit and natural/Greek style yoghurt on offer.

Overnight Pit Stop - wished...

Liked: What a place - very old building, loved it's nooks and crannies - room spacious with a fabulous bathroom. Excellent evening meal, super friendly staff, Great breakfast. Would stay again without hesitation. Certainly recommend if you're visiting the area.
Disliked: Nothing at all.
