Wonderful hotel
Pros:

We loved this hotel, it's one we've already recommended to friends and will stay at again. It's a beautiful property, the room we had was wonderful and the 3 Highland cows were the cream on the top.

Cons:

We didn't like the welcome. When we were checking in, we were standing there at the front desk at about 3:30pm with our luggage and the lady wandered out and asked what we wanted in a quite brash tone. First impressions count!

Would stay again but not that room.
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast and am from Nairn so know area. Also, those Brontë biscuits, the ginger ones were lovely.

Cons:

I didn't sleep too well as didn't like the pillows. I have a feather pillow at home so, maybe, one in wardrobe as an option? Also heard cleaners in their storeroom at 7am which didn't help.

Mary was very helpful and breakfast was good, but overall the hotel was poor in cleanliness.
Pros:

Mary at reception was very helpful and immediately arranged an upgrade for us, moving us from the outbuilding (“sheep stable” section) to a standard double room in the main castle.

The room itself was acceptable, and we appreciated her effort to make our stay more comfortable.

Breakfast and the service during breakfast were very good.

Cons:

The booking was misleading: based on the photos we expected a standard double room in the main building, but were initially placed in the outbuilding, which was far below expectations.

Even in the upgraded room, cleanliness was lacking: visible dirt in corners, stains on furniture, and dust.

The bathroom was particularly neglected: broken and dirty tiles, moisture stains on the ceiling, and an unclean shower.

The accessible toilet on the ground floor was in poor condition, with a sticky floor, dirt, and paper lying around.

Lovely stay
Pros:

Beautiful grounds and surroundings
Lovely staff

Cons:

The lift door didn’t always close properly
The en-suite door did not fully close
The room became quite hot which required us to open all the windows which unfortunately let in the midges and wasps
