Pleasant, but I wouldn’t consider staying again for the price of the quality in the rooms
Pros:

The location was perfect. The gardens were beautifully kept and the outside of the building was spectacular.

Cons:

The internal decor was old, dated and run down. The room itself was like walking into an old university dorm. The lift had carpeted walls inside and smelled very stale in there like old smoke.

Pros:

The hotel ,yes it's a little tired in areas but it doesn't take away from the beauty of it ,to fully modernise it would be (in my opinion) a loss.if you want sterile square rooms bars on windows and gloomy floors ... this isn't for you .if you want beautiful grounds to walk around fabulous warm staff ,decent filling food and a comfy quiet bedroom, look no further
I knew of this hotel for many a year but never stopped strathpeffer before but will visit again .
