Middle range in every aspect.
Quiet, with easy access to Dingwall and Inverness, if you have a car.

Our stay.
Unfortunately for us there was a wedding so hotel guests had to use a separate room for dining etc. This room was cold and few other guests said the same.
We were on the second floor but the music from downstairs was loud plus we had a floodlight that lit our room up, overall disappointing.

It's an older building so you do hear things, and it could use a bit of updating but the staff were lovely, the building had character, there was a restaurant and bar. 2 busloads of tourists were staying, and they had bagpipers entertaining and a 3-piece band in the lounge. My daughter and I enjoyed our night here.

Tired hotel and certainly not worth the money.
Shower was terrible.
Staff were friendly and the evening meal was good.

Room was average in quality but overpriced for what was provided. Dinner menu was clearly designed for the busloads of tourists present. It was limited in scope and imagination and again, overpriced given the range and quality on offer. Breakfast too, was limited in choices and lacked finesse.
This used to be a really good hotel, with excellent cuisine. Sadly, this is no more the case.
Overall, average at best.

Mostly as expected but hot water was an issue.
Our stay was as mostly as expected except for the issue of no hot water till we checked out in the morning. We were told the problem was caused by the Scotland water company so the hotel had no control over the issue. Nevertheless, it was not very pleasant when you cannot shower after a long day of travel.

Beautiful older property with small rooms and uncomfortable bedding. Our room was not easily accessible. The bathroom was very spacious - a strange concept to the size of the sleeping area.
