Exceptional

Very good

Liked: It's overall a good one. I think however it could be a little cheaper, but it's fine. Loved the stay.

Very relaxing stay at the...

Liked: We have stayed at the hotel on two previous occasions. This third occasion was different in that we stayed outside the hotel, in a ‘Courtyard’ room which was comfortable, quaint etc, but seemed less like staying at a hotel. The breakfast was excellent, as were the staff.
Disliked: The’Courtyard’ room was less fancy than the rooms in the hotel.The plates of food for dinner did not always reflect the menu description e.g. a dessert would be described as having chocolate sauce and cream, but would be presented with a small amount of ice-cream and no sauce!The hotel might need to sharpen its attention to detail e.g. cleaning windows, emptying cigarettes from bins at entrance, to maintain its 4-star rating overall.

Would definitely come back

Liked: Bed was super comfy

Comfortable

Liked: Muthu Newton Hotel is a beautiful property, really looks like a castle in the Highlands. The staff is very helpful. We stayed in the courtyard rooms, which are in a different building but next door. They were very comfortable and very spacious. They were great to relax after a day exploring the Highlands. We did not use the Breakfast or Dining facilities, cannot comment on that… we had snacks with us for breakfast purposes, however the rooms do not have fridge nor minibars to keep anything refrigerated - luckily for us it was still chilly weather so our food was easy to maintain at a good temperature. The property is not too far from Inverness (25min drive) and easy place to stay to visit sights in the region. We enjoyed our stay in this hotel.
Disliked: Just keep in mind, if you stay at the courtyard rooms the WiFi will not work - if you are planning a long stay and will require connection to work on plans, then I’d say book a room in the main building or another location.

Great location...good place to stay.

Liked: Great location . Comfy room. Great shower. Staff were lovely.
Disliked: Breakfast had a good selection but good could have been hotter.

Good

Disliked: I didn’t like the fact you can’t use cash. I save up for nights away and couldn’t use saved money in hotel.

Disappointing

Liked: Lovely setting and a grand looking building. Fantastic breakfast and lovely staff. There is plenty of onsite parking available.
Disliked: Bathroom door was difficult to close. Existing wood furniture in the rooms appeared to have been given a lick of gold paint to try to inexpensively update the rooms, but it just made the rooms look cheap and tacky. Disappointing result for such a grand building.Also, placed in a room with lift access - fine. But, then one had to then navigate stair access down and then back up again to eventually access the room, there appeared to be no ramps available which when lugging suitcases isn't easy when you are in your 60's with mobility issues. Nice hotel, but it needs to be brought into the 21st century with a bit more investment to survive and thrive.
