Great stay at Cnoc Hotel.
Pros:

My parents and I had a wonderful stay at the Cnoc Hotel. Duncan was a gracious host and the food he made for dinner and breakfast was some of the best we've had on our trip. The setting was peaceful and the rooms were cozy and clean. A great find as we explored the Highlands.

Pros:

Hotel situated in a stunning location. Anyone looking to relax can certainly make themselves at home. Relaxed atmosphere and comfortable bed. No tv however they are trying to promote an atmosphere that does not need a tv. Not that there's much on it anyway. Also with free, fast wi-fi you can still use your phone/tablet if you need to watch something etc. Meals very nice, Steak was tasty and Haddock was in a Golden beer batter and was lovely. Pea and mint soup was tasty and fresh bread had a really nice flavour.
Lovely family run hotel that provides comfort and rest. *****

Pros:

I got it because it was close to where I was going but was astoundingly happy there. There area is out in the country and the property is a converted building originally built for workers on the surrounding estates. Great history and an old church on the property. Beautiful walks and a lot of birds and cows. I saw a rare woodpecker in the front and the whole dinner room stopped to come look.

The hosts are an extremely nice young couple and a lot of fun to talk to. There is an excellent little drink and snack area with great options and other side of the is a very comfortable reading area. It was nice that I was able to have a drink and a small family could sit in the comfy room and read.

The room was in the upstairs area you can see in the picture. It had a lot of character and was very comfortable and large. Two beds. Tea, coffee, and a delicious chocolate chip buscuit and ginger cookie.

The biggest reason to stay here is that man can cook! Dinner was fantastic and breakfast was as well. Best meals I had on the trip and dinner was extremely reasonable!

You are maybe 20 minutes from Beauly and under 30 from Edinburgh. Stay here for a great location, save a lot of money over noisy Edinburgh, and have fantastic food!

Pros:

The cnoc hotel is a lovely property just outside beauly. Its location is beautiful and quiet. The hotel includes a pub/bar a wonderful room where one can sit relax and read a book or meet with other guest and a nice dining area where they serve breakfast and dinner. Duncan the owner was anccomodating Our room and bath were large compared to other properties we have stayed at. It was clean and comfortable. The only reason for a 4 star instead of 5 star was the water pressure in the bath is low.

Pros:

Wonderful family run hotel. They need to change their logo signage ( see above), as they have a lovely property and home to show off. Hard to tell anything from that photo except two cute dogs !

Great food, lovely people

Pros:

This was by far the best hotel experience we have had on our trip. The staff was awesome. We arrived late due to a car accident and Duncan went out of his way to make sure there was food for us. He did a wonderful job accommodating our vegan guests as well. Thanks for a great experience

Owner and staff very friendly and helpful, but the property needs much renovation and refits especially the bathroom which was so dated and tiny.
Clean beds and towels and the food was fine.
