Pros:

The room was okay it felt a little dated but was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Not much on offer for gluten free breakfast just had fried eggs and bacon as the scrambled eggs had bits of haggis in from the shared spoons so I didn't risk it. The coffee was not good at all!

A fine Grand Old Hotel in the middle of The Highlands
Pros:

An old “grand hotel” in the middle of the Highlands. Room was airy and comfortable and it had all the facilities it needed.
Reasonable price for high-season.

Cons:

It was a little dated in places - but overall the positives outshone the negatives.

Avoid if possible
Pros:

Staff member Katerina was only really the decent part of this stay.

Cons:

Being told we couldn't stay for our full 3 nights and had to be moved out on the 3rd night to another location.
On the first night being put directly above a disco and the room was vibrating.
Majority of staff were rude/disinterested about my needs and only really cared for tour groups.
The walls and carpets were worn and very old.
