Comfortable, but staff need to improve
Pros:

Very comfortable room , very clean, nice linen.

Cons:

Only 1 set of towels in the room on arrival, which was sorted very quickly by the staff.
We booked a table in the restaurant, and after being shown to our table by a lady who seemed harassed we felt a little ignored.
A couple sat at the next table after we sat down, but were served before us and the guy that took their order just ignored us, and it took nearly 10 minutes for someone to come and take our order.

Overnight stay in Beauly
Pros:

Touring around Scotland and booking as we went. This stop off was lovely. Parked outside the Hotel. Checked in. Upstairs to our room which overlooked the main street. Nice to have a table and 2 chairs in the room. Room, beds, and bathroom clean and tidy. Good sized room too, which was great even though we were only staying one night. We looked for places to stay with a restaurant on site, and had booked in advance. Great selection of dishes. Staff were friendly. We paid for breakfast which was lovely. Choice of cereals, fruit, juice, pastries and then a menu for cooked items. Had a lovely walk around Beauly. Went down by the river and had a walk around the Abbey. Went back into the hotel for lunch and they kindly swapped out the ham for chicken on my salad. Lovely, friendly staff and a great place for us on our travells.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I didn't like about our stay.

Comfortable but over priced.
Pros:

The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The staff during our meals were friendly too. The food at breakfast was good. The shower in our room was excellent.

Cons:

In our room the grouting between a number of the floor tiles in the bathroom was missing which was shabby , there was damaged furniture with chips in the surface .The balcony had AstroTurf on it but was covered in bits possibly from the roof . There was a very long winding corridor to our room which had light sensors to turn lights on as you walked down it. From our room to reception one part of the walk was in darkness as the sensor didn't work.The staff seemed stretched , it felt like the whole place was struggling to keep going.
