Wonderful, historic hotel close to Inverness.
Pros:

The stay here was the best of our 3 week Scotland/England vacation. Starting with the welcome by the front desk staff, to riding in the 100+ year old Victorian elevator, and the beautiful room with a super comfortable bed and walk-in shower. The dinner in the dining room was delicious. Tea and biscuits in the lounge afterwards. Close free parking. It was everything we wanted. Plus a nice grocery store just across the street. Close to Loch Ness and other sites.

Cons:

Weather was a little cold and grey, but hey - it's Scotland in May.

It would have been perfect but for the evening dining room service.
Pros:

The quiet environment. The breakfasts were very good and well organised.

Cons:

We were not happy with the dining room service on the first evening, so much so that we explored other options in the town and ended up eating at a restaurant in town the following night.

Geen aanrader, ook geen heel verkeerde keus.
Pros:

Aan de receptie zit een meneer die zijn vak verstaat. Beleefd, behulpzaam en vriendelijk. De kamer en faciliteiten zijn conform verwachting, netjes, schoon en verzorgd. Geen positieve of negatieve verrassingen, zoals op andere plekken deze vakantie.

Cons:

De dame die het diner verzorgd deed waarschijnlijk haar best maar lijkt een personeelstekort op te vullen zonder enige begeleiding. Wellicht was de kok ook ziek, anders wordt hier getoond waar de verhalen vandaan komen dat je niet naar Schotland moet gaan om lekker te eten, want verder dan proeven is het eten niet gekomen.
De wifi was trager dan mijn oude 300 baud modem, voor de lezer die dat nog begrijpt.
De bedden zijn hard voor je tere heupjes, dus zeven keer draaien op een nacht. Wellicht goed bedoeld, maar aan de hotelmanager de suggestie gaat er zelf eens een nachtje op slapen…

Satisfied overall.
Pros:

The atmosphere of the hotel and its location.

Cons:

The evening meal was disappointing for one of us as the fish was dry and overcooked. The soup though, ordered as a starter was delicious.

Pros:

The staff were helpful and friendly

Cons:

The room was very dated. Single glazed windows meant people standing outside talking could be easily heard (above outdoor bar tables). Bathroom also dated. At the rate I paid at this standard of hotel,

A gem in the area. A nice and clean place with good dining and very nice personnel.
Pros:

Clean room and newly renovated bathroom, stylish. A very good restaurant and great hospitality. The house was impressively old 1762 but in very good shape.

Cons:

I didn’t have any problems but my wife said she missed a softer mattress pad and found the bed a little bit hard.
