Lovely bit of highland grandeur/history. Mostly just passing through for a local event so didn’t get the full experience. Wee bit expensive for room alone but no complaints about the standards/staff etc bar/dining facilities looked very pleasant

We picked our location first and narrowed the choice of hotel to the Grant Arms and one other. We chose the GAH because it was an old, established hotel with a great reputation and ticked all our boxes. The staff were brilliant, great views & food and a well stocked bar.

Excellent service, even in the winter!
An excellent hotel, the only one in the whole town to have the heating fully on, therefore it was very comfortable in the dead of winter. The food at its restaurant is also excellent, their chef is very talented.

Two night stay
Very pleasant stay. Enjoyed the variety on offer at breakfast. Room was comfortable and clean. Dinner menu was a bit limited and we ate out on our second night. Used lift due to mobility problems. Old type lift where users have to open and close two “doors”. If doors are left open by exiting users, lift is stuck and time and effort used to identify location and close doors. More prominent instructions needed on lift.

The hotel was comfortable. Facilities are old. Bedding and towels were clean and of good quality.
It was quiet. Breakfast basic. Staff were kind and worked hard. Overall, it was acceptable considering the remote location.
