Beautiful hotel with lots of character. Staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the food in the evening and at breakfast was very underwhelming.

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

Old style but a bit worn looking. People were friendly. Convenient to village.
Steven, 1-night trip

Nice hotel with friendly staff

Debra, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

2/10 Poor

Not what was expected

The photos dont correspond to the conditions of the hotel. Everything was quite old and decrepit. The floors in the hallways were skew, the room has a unpleasant smell , and the ceiling had quite severe water damage. The sheets also were stained. Though the breakfast was quite pleasant and staff were kind. Overall, mediocre at best.
Raymond, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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

8/10 Very good

Good place to stay overnight

Property needed some investment. Staff were excellent. Meal was good. Would have liked a little more choice for evening meal. Generally good value a pleasant stay
Darron, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 Some of the interiors are a bit outdated, so if you are looking for something super modern and high tech, this may not be for you.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

6/10 Good

Personnel lacked commitment. Breakfast fast was borderline, empty trays were not filled up when there was plenty of breakfast-time to go. We booked a premium room which was a good size and newly refurbished. Mattress was new and firm as required. Bed size could have been a little larger. Nice bed cover. Adequate free parking facilities. Lift more than dated.
Anselm, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As expected

Unremarkable in as much as everything was as I would have expected. Staff that I met were all friendly and helpful.
Mike, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I’ve had multiple stays here and it’s clean, welcoming and quiet, with good parking and comfortable rooms. Dining available onsite or nearby. Tour buses call in the summer but visitors are mainly elderly and calm. There’s sometimes hoochter-teuchtar or country and western music on in the foyer in the evening but if that’s not your thing, you can retreat to the quiet of your room or have a peaceful stroll in the village. Reasonably priced.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very helpful and friendly staff, comfy beds, it was a short but pleasant stay
Katarzyna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

Highlander

A very good mid-range hotel with adequate parking, comfortable, quiet rooms and friendly, helpful staff. If looking for an evening meal, book ahead. There are busloads of visitors at this time of year, and management seem to have difficulty fitting in one extra traveller at teatime.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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 Very good

Enjoyable stay

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

6/10 Good

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 Good

Stay was good for a one night sunny weekend.

The stay was for one night, check-in was smooth. We had booked family room 1 double bed and 1 single bed. But we got 3 single beds. The little was not happy sleeping alone and kept falling of the bed as there were no barriers. Spring beds are very uncomfortable. The room was spacious and old mansion kind. Single glazing windows.
