Dreadful!!!!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Rooms not ready when we arrived early evening.
Child cot not in room despite multiple requests at time of booking and before arrival.
No breakfast despite high price.
Receptionist on her first day but unsupported by senior staff.
Owner/manager (male) had a disinterested, couldn’t care less attitude.
No apology for rooms not being ready.
No query whether everything was ok when we handed in our keys.
This business does not deserve to succeed.
Definitely NOT value for money.
AVOID!!!

Worst stay ever in anuy hotel.stay away unless you like bedbugs
Pros:

We didn’t like the property because we had an unpleasant experience.

Cons:

Our reservation was mistakenly given to someone else. We had to wait a long time for the woman at the front desk to give us another room. We found a bed bug on the bed sheet and quickly gathered our belongings then left the room. We went to the lobby to report the bed bug discovery, found no one there to help and lights turned off. The hotel is not refunding our money for a room that was not used.

Good hotel for overnight stay.
Pros:

Location was great for where I needed to be. Hotel was clean, staff were friendly. Was room only, so didn't eat in the hotel. Room was good size for what was paid, the bathroom was very small but just about managable.

Cons:

bathroom is very small, small TV,

I'll come back anytime
Pros:

The staff was very friendly, helpful and kind.
We were impressed by how clean the hotel was, though a bit dated.
Basic breakfast, but well cooked and delicious. Very good coffee

Cons:

Nothing major, more like heads up. If you have an electric toothbrush or shaver buy an European plug in as there's none in the bathroom

Stilvolles Herrenhaus mit altmodischem Charme
Pros:

Das traditionelle Ambiente, das großzügige Zimmer. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Einrichtung stilvoll und wie in einem alten schottischen Herrenhaus.

Cons:

Es gab keinen Fahrstuhl in den 2. Stock. Die Toilettenspülung funktionierte zunächst nur zögerlich.

Pros:

We were driving through Scotland and just finding a place at the last minute. Checking in was so easy
The front desk attendant was so helpful and didn't mind silly questions from tired travellera

Cons:

The hotel is outdated and has a musty smell to it, but has an old hotel feel about it.

Stop for at least 1 night here in Beautiful Buerly!
Pros:

Better than staying in Inverness which is ridiculously overpriced! Catch a bus there for 2 pounds 💷. This beautiful pub has been in The Stewart Family forever. Best hotel room with Scottish Charm. Local people in the pub made me so welcome 🙏. 1/4 the price of Inverness hotels and twice as nice! 😊

Cons:

The room is decked out in traditional tartan colours and Scottish furnishings.
