Most of the staff are helpful and friendly, with the exception of the man on reception when checking in, quite rude, but that might be their culture.

The staff were amazing. Everyone we encountered was polite and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. And the breakfast was top notch.
Special thanks to Graeme for somehow pronouncing my last name correct and going above and beyond.

Staff are excellent and could not be more helpful. The hotel and room were very clean. Beds are comfortable.
We had fish and chips which was ok, but when we saw someone getting the beef we wish we had chosen that. Would definitely recommend. George and Graeme were the standouts but everyone were lovely.

The only thing we could fault was the lack of bar staff on Saturday evening. My partner waited twenty minutes to be served— only one person trying to serve about twenty customers. The staff members we came into contact with during the rest of our stay were excellent.

Things have changed in a good way!
It's been a while since I stayed at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find the room facilities ( e.g. bathroom and also the TV's) have been upgraded. Much better now!
Friendly staff, efficient check in and good breakfast. Very happy to stay here again when passing through.
Strathpeffer and the surrounding area are a good alternative to Inverness where hotel prices have just become silly.
