The property certainly had some character but was very old and overpriced in my opinion. Staff were the hotels saving grace as they were all wonderful

Staff very helpful, room was clean, it was as we expected it to be.
Murdo, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Such a beautiful and unique hotel with a lot of charm and history. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The town of Strathpeffer is beautiful, quaint and peaceful. I am so glad I stayed here rather than in a bigger city like Inverness. Some of the interiors are a bit outdated, so if you are looking for something super modern and high tech, this may not be for you.
Joseph, 5-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very poor quality and choice at breakfast. Despite paying extra the bedroom was both small and in need of refurbish. We left a day early.
Ronald, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Beautiful old building but with modern, basic rooms. Lovely dining hall and well maintained gardens, staff lovely. Windows unfortunately only partly opened - not ideal during our summer visit. Limited restaurant menu but other restaurants within walking distance. Bathroom a bit musty but the room was clean. Car parking very limited, priority seems to be coach tours. Overall good, would stay again, but not the best value for money at the price we paid.
Alexander, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Music venue below room until 11:00 pm. Very noisy

Had a wonderful time. Very relaxing.
Burton, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Although the hotel is old it is well kept…only issue was the walls were very thin and both nights I had a loud snoring person next door that kept me awake.
Jodi, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We found it to be quite charming and relaxing. The only negative is their restaurant can't handle the number of guests the hotel can accommodate. We had to walk down the street and pick up Chinese food. That made the experience less than perfect
Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

classic large hotel, great history. very quiet at the moment but staff were friendly, especially the lady behind the bar (and reception too!) Would stay again
George, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Beautiful hotel on the ground floor, lots of space to sit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff. The hotel has a lot of charm. However, the room is very basic and misses any charm, the mattress is old and uncomfortable and outdated bathroom. Breakfast was also very basic.
Lotte, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good value for money.

The staff are friendly. Dinning room service great, and food good. Building and rooms in need of some refurbishment. Good location.

Enjoyable stay

Nice hotel, large entrance and reception hall. Room clean and warm. Well worth the cost.
Terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel had a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, although everybody seemed overwhelmed with a local event that night. We stayed for 2 nights, and it would have been nice if room service had cleaned up our overflowing waste bin as well as some used plates and glasses after the first night. The building itself needed some work in the upper floors. We looked over a rotting terrace/roof to the terrace on the ground floor. The carpet in our room needed replacement. But the room and bathroom were clean and spacious. I would likely stay there again.
Stefanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice stay, comfortable and clean.
Meta, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff not as helpful or friendly as other hotels we stayed in during our trip to Scotland. When I notified the front desk that we had no TV remote in our room their response to correct the issue was none existent. The only elevator was not working during our stay which made moving luggage difficult to the second floor. Not many food options to choose from in the small town center.
Lisa, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Highland Fawlty Towers

What was once a grand hotel in its hey-day, it is now very tired, e.g. peeling paint, water stains on bedroom ceiling, etc. Very limited menu selection for evening meal, but food was the hotel's only saving grace. Everything else, sadly, had a Fawlty Towers vibe to it. The hotel needs a lot of investment and a complete overhaul of its staff training programme.

Very helpful and friendly staff, comfy beds, it was a short but pleasant stay

Nice location

Always comfortable
Violet, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff were amazing and made the stay a plus, especially the food and beverage manager. Room was clean, but a few draw backs were the tv which was the size of a computer screen and the one tiny window about 1 foot in width that only opened 3 inches was a negative. Was a little warm and dark because of this. If you get this type of room consider asking for an upgrade. Breakfast was a bargain and definately worth it. Had a concern that for some reason, the wifi in this hotel wouldn't allow us to us LGBTQ apps which made us feel they were blocked which made us wonder if the community and or owner are extremely conservative which made us feel uncomfortable. Apps worked in every other part of town and all over Scotland except the hotel wifi.
