Dinner was incredible, but the Highland full fry up breakfast was a truly great experience. Also, the shampoo smells amazing.
Nothing, it was perfect.

Car park quite a walk away, flat ground near reception would help with motorbikes

Comfortable, "traditional" room with its own style, rather than a replicate room of a chain hotel. The view over the Kyle was lovely. Our room was quiet with good blinds keeping out the early sunrise, so we sleep very well.
We received a warm welcome, and friendly and efficient service from all staff.
The restaurant served excellent dinner and breakfast, the latter included in the price.
Price. We stayed on a day when there were almost no accommodation vacancies in the area and paid a considerable premium over the standard rate we have seen on other websites. While this was ok for one night, it would have prevented us staying longer had we wished.
Parking. Main parking is in a "lay-by" on the main road. That was full so we parked at the back of the hotel.

Dining, meal size poor given pricing ( currry) breakfast abysmal....staff ignore you, no yoghurt or fruit without asking, not offered hot breakfast menu, coffee or toast. Walked out in disgust after 15 mins wait. Have advised manager.

Beautiful location- scenery is stunning. Hotel welcoming, comfortable and high quality decor and furnishings. Bedroom and en-suite were very good size and tastefully furnished and warm and comfortable.
All the staff were very welcoming, polite and friendly - special mention to the front of house duty manager who made us very welcome- we had arrived 3 hours early.
The food was delicious and service excellent.
We thoroughly recommend this hotel as a must for a stopover on the NC500 trip or to stay for a few days.

We had the Duke of Sutherland room: wow!! View on the ruins of the castle, fireplace, old-school luxury. Great beds. Rebekha is a great host.
Restaurant / menu is a bit dull, a bit conservative (fitting the location though)

Excellent location again along the NC500. Great meals - both dinner and breakfast. Nice walks close by. Rooms very spacious.
The price was expensive. The barman needs a bit more training.

Well lived in feel about the place. Great staff
The age of the furniture and the “tired” feel about the place may not suit everyone. This is not a modern boutique style hotel, rather a stylish old establishment.
