Great food
Pros:

Excellent, fairly priced restaurant. We both really enjoyed our evening meal and instead of breakfast they provided a good packed lunch.
There are great paths from the hotel to a waterfall and Dunrobin Castle.
Comfortable beds

Cons:

The hotel felt over priced at £200 a night as the rooms were dated and a little rundown. We were there in high season though.
