Worst hotel by far
Pros:

The staff were helpful and polite

Cons:

We had to swop rooms due to the window not being able to be closed securely and getting caught in the wind and the room was dirty and I got someone else's false fingernail in my shoe, dubious stains all over the red chair and furniture had very weird scratches on it.
New room on initial look seemed fine but soon discovered it was freezing and filthy. The noise from upstairs just walking was alarming as I thought the ceiling was coming in. Heard a knock at thw door about midnight , opened it to see 2 police men , thankfully not for us but for the room next door. I plugged my phone in to charge and all the sockets on that circuit blew so no bedside light just the " big " light left. Could not boil the kettle due to this but eventually found a working socket. We strip the beds before leaving and were dismayed to see what we had been sleeping on all night! Bathroom door did not shut or lock and was equally as dirty as the rest of the room so much so my daughter refused to go in the bath to shower. This hotel was not cheap for 1 night. Would NEVER recommend this to anyone. Pictures show a hotel from the past and all that's left is a sad glimmer of what it once was.No breakfast being served either

Absolutely unacceptable. Will never go back
Pros:

Dinner was nice

Cons:

The bathroom was unclean, there were gaps in the windows through which I could see daylight!! I was not aware that a hotel with a restaurant did not serve breakfast. Had I known this I would have gone elsewhere.
The cupboard was so filthy with loose paint I couldn’t even unpack my case. I even cut the stay short and drove back and forth from Aberdeen to Perth, defeating the purpose of the hotel in the first place.

Awful.
Pros:

Bed was clean. Room warm. Price ok but….

Cons:

Building and common areas neglected grimy and decrepit. Dining room an empty barn with limited menu and poor presentation. I had to ask for cutlery! Bathroom fittings from another era. Has gone badly downhill over recent years.

Never slept due mattress being uncomfortable and alarm and radio going the
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Was a central to where we were going out with family.

Cons:

What can I say maybe should lift all carpets as very damp and worn on way up to room. Maybe invest in new mattresses that are not paper thin. Revamp all over as very old and dated decor through your . I mean the hairdryer and the radio on the wall must be from the 1970s at least. The radio randomly came on during the night and an alarm went off during the night.the sound proof room is definitely not sound proof heard neighbours getting up and ready at 7 am from toileting to shower.

Pros:

The staff were so friendly.I loved the food.My room was lovely.The bed was comfortable.Great choice of this to watch on tv.Lovely view.

Cons:

The shower was annoying as it was just run off the taps and i found it hard to get the right temp,it was either too hot or cold.A leaflet in the room would of been good with breakfast times etc and information about room service.

Wir waren für eine Nacht im Lovat Hotel als Zwischenstopp. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die Zimmer sind älter, aber für eine Nacht vollkommen ausreichend. Es war sauber und günstig.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist alles in allem in die Jahre gekommen, aber als Zwischenstopp vollkommen ausreichend.
