Pros:

Le restaurant sert jusqu’à 20 h 30. Le personnel est sympathique. La carte des mets est plus variée qu’ailleurs. L’établissement est magnifique. Il y a des places de parc devant.

Cons:

Malheureusement, il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude dans la douche. L’isolation phonique laisse cruellement à désirer.

Great location, lack of staff and way too expensive for “nice” hotel
Pros:

Great location half way to the Orkney Ferry from Inverness airport .

Cons:

Arrived to no reception as they had gone back to university. Grounds looked like they need some love too. For £300 I expected a special room with the finer 4 star touches. It was unremarkable.

Perfect location in quiet spot adjacent to (superb) Brora golf club.
Pros:

Beautiful rooms and excellent bar/restaurant area. Lovely contemporary decor, comfortable and clean. Location next to golf club and beach was perfect. Staff were fantastic.

Cons:

Bathrooms a bit small and supper menu limited.
