Pros:

Excellent location and grounds. Food is very good. Some people may say that the room, especially the bathroom, is very dated. In my opinion, everything worked very well, and I would not mark it down for this. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

My only criticism was the very limited shelf space in the bathroom. There was no space for my electric razor or toothbrush.

Pros:

Location was stunning with a view of the Moray Firth and Highland Cows in the grounds.

They are also trying to cater for vegans, and are looking to improve the offerings but had all the basics needed for a decent breakfast, supplied oat milk to the room.

Staff were fantastic

Cons:

For this type of hotel and location, there wasn't much to not like.

We had a delightful stay at the Newton Hotel.
Pros:

I chose the Newton Hotel for my birthday treat from my husband. We were delighted with the room followed by breakfast
the following 2 mornings. We had a delicious meal for dinner on the second night as we were meeting friends on our first night there.

Cons:

I cannot think of anything that could have been better.

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!
