4 star hotel 2 star service
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and is set on the most stunning location on the shores of the Moray Firth

Cons:

The staff in the restaurant had clearly not been trained properly and the customer service was very poor which is such a shame because if it had matched the quality of the building, the pool and the spa facilities, and the view, it would be the best hotel around by far. It really was 2 star service in a 4 star hotel.

Enjoyed our stay but spoilt by the poor service in the restaurant!
Pros:

Nice large room, comfy bed and spotless.

Cons:

Lift was out of action which has been for months apparently but we were aware of the situation just before we travelled.
Breakfast was well organised on Day 1 but very poor on Day 2 and 3……..service was very slow (on both occasions asking several times for tea etc:). Buffet table was not replenished frequently….guests appearing with very little to choose from, having to constantly ask staff for items. Tables not cleared quickly enough…..guests put in the bar area instead and being told no tables available in conservatory when the tables could have been cleared sooner! Cooked breakfasts took a long time and got fed up waiting. Clearly not enough experienced staff on duty …..the hotel we were told was fully booked! Similar comments during dinner service….food nothing special.

We came here with low expectations given recent reviews, however I would highly recommend it
Pros:

There were a few negative reviews online and we were very skeptical about what to expect, especially customer care

However, the staff were really trying their best and doing a good job to stay on top of things

Breakfast was very good, we had a deluxe room that could do with a change of carpet in the near future but everything else was very good

The snacks in the room were more than adequate so all in all, very happy

All the soaps and gels were organic and of top quality

The spa facilities have just been upgraded so absolutely nothing to fault with them

Cons:

The water pressure in the room shower was poor which is a real shame

The main lift hasn’t been operational for 8 months now but because it is old and German, parts have been taking a long time to source

The EV charging has been decommissioned but is still listed on the website. That is misleading

They need more restaurant staff for the breakfast service because the current staff are run ragged

Terrible service, absolutely waste of money!
Pros:

The room was clean and it had a lovely view. All the massage therapists were fantastic, the hotels only redeeming feature unfortunately.

Cons:

Multiple things! They wouldn’t book us in the restaurant for dinner, despite there being numerous tables available. Bar staff had no idea how to make the requested cocktails and took about 20 minutes to do so. Reception staff were rude. Called from my room to ask a question about our prebooked spa day and was greeted with “is this important as I’m checking someone in”. Actually made me speechless, so rude and off hand. The spa day was complicated; half upstairs half down and nobody available to advise on where we were to go. The “thermal experience” is basically just a sauna that you share with anyone else who happens to be there, absolutely nothing special whatsoever. The cooked breakfast wasn’t pleasant. All the items had obviously been sitting under the hot plate for quite some time, nothing cooked to order. It really spoiled my 40th birthday, we paid over £800 all in for this hotel and spa and it was truly one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. Absolutely waste of money!

Excellent break and definitely go back
Pros:

Room was lovely and the viw to the sea was great. Pool/spa was very good. Food was good.

Cons:

Lift was out of order and we were on the 3rd floor. We did get notification when booking but were unaware which floor we were on when booking. Not a problem for us but would have been if we had mobility issues. The third floor hot water pressure is poor, confirmed by previous reviews.
