Relaxing stay at a lovely hotel with friendly staff and good food
Pros:

We stayed here for just one night and had a lovely time. We arrived early and asked if we could park our car in the car park as we wanted to explore Nairn - this was no problem at all. When we checked in at 3pm the receptionist was just lovely and the whole process went very smoothly - we even got a complementary room upgrade! We went straight down to the pool/spa area which was included in our stay. We had got told that it had been recently upgraded and we were very impressed. Very clean and new looking. We spent a very relaxing afternoon using the various facilities.
We opted to dine at the hotel that evening. The food was so much better than I was expecting after seeing some of the trip advisor reviews. We really enjoyed our meal and the service was great. The room we had was very clean and well cared for. The breakfast options were varied (buffet and you ordered a cooked meal) and very tasty. Every member of staff we met were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent as usual apart from the rather chilly dinning room.
Pros:

I like the ambience of the place and the pool and facilities and breakfast and dinner.

Cons:

The dinning room was a little chilly it made the evening meal a little uncomfortable, mind you there was a pretty wild storm
that night.

It’s always lovely to stay, have no problems, the staff just need a more training.
Pros:

Everything was lovely as usual! We will Aways come back

Cons:

No communication between the staff, I had a family member call up and ask to pay towards my dinner bill. I was never told about it and never knew the money was added to room until I check out by that time it was too late as I had already paid as I went. They had to transfer it back to her. Lack of communication there which is a shame.

A lovely getaway place, with stunning views in a calm and quiet place.
Pros:

The hotel was very lovely and clean. Staff was so polite, friendly and professional.
The restaurant had amazing views of the sea, it was an absolute joy to eat in that space. The food was great, especially the taste of Hickory menu.

Cons:

We did not have great mobile phone network reception so that made accessing data or wi-fi internet very difficult. Not sure how the hotel can fix that, it's more of a coverage area, perhaps.
