Very unique hotel
Reviewed By gsgman777I was going back and forth on whether this was a 3 or 4 rating but ended up giving the 4. Staff was very good, super nice. We did the tour and enjoyed that as well. Location was fine, not that far out of the way and 30 min from the airport with enough around for gas, food and grocery. We stayed in the Mackenzie Apartment, top floor very huge. It did have dead bees popping up all over in the living room area and the couch was worn. There was a ripped towel in front of the small bathroom shower. No door for the large bathroom. Toilet paper holder fell off when you touched it. Tables were sticky, for example I placed a souvenir box of chocolates on it and when I picked it up later the paper back tore off and stuck to the table. Other than all that, it was a little creepy to stay there, it was a very cool old castle, so overall I still wanted to give it a 4. Would we stay there again? No
2. The Summer Isles Hotel and Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 678 reviews
The Summer Isles Hotel and Restaurant is renowned as an oasis of civilisation tucked away in the ruggedly beautiful, wild and untouched landscape of the Western Scottish Highlands. The hotel is a favourite destination for food lovers, outdoor adventurers and for those looking for peace, tranquillity and fresh air. There are 12 bedrooms comfortable bedrooms with 8 enjoying wonderful sea-views across to the Summer Isles. Food is prepared using local ingredients where possible and it is heavily influenced by the coastal surroundings. In the evening, guests have the choice of dining in the restaurant or bar. The restaurant is smart but relaxed and looks out towards the Summer Isles. Eating in the bar is a more informal experience with the opportunity to meet the local community and enjoy a fine range of ales. The bar is dog-friendly.
Spectacular Views
Reviewed By LuSimons1Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Cosy, comfortable bedroom. Dinner was great but breakfast a little disappointing not helped by lack of ingredients due to supply issues. Was expecting great Scottish porridge but sadly ended up with a very watery immitation!
3. Highland Hotel
Overall Ratings
4 based on 1098 reviews
Peacefully set in its own grounds with lovely views over the colourful village square, this chateau style hotel’s traditional features have been carefully retained to strike just the right Highland note. A warm welcoming feeling comes as much from the friendly staff as from the fine wood panelled public rooms which have been carefully preserved. Strathpeffer itself is just steps away from the hotel and is renowned as an attractive Highland spa resort with fabulous Victorian architecture. Be sure to enjoy the scenic views of the village below from the open veranda. The massive peak of Ben Wyvis is the backdrop to this charming village. It’s a perfect base from which to explore Scotland’s dramatic Northern Highlands – mountainous countryside, sparkling streams, waterfalls and golden shores.
EXCELLENT VALUE
Reviewed By M2076DCmarkmStayed here for one night, whilst on business in Inverness. The hotel prices this time of year in Inverness are very high , however 25 minutes away I found this beautiful old lady. Yes I believe the hotel dates back to 1700 . STAFF All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Especially young Richard in the Restaurant in the morning, run of his feet, dealing with coach loads of guest , he stayed calm and dealt with the situation.( well done ,excellent customer service) Hotel Grand old lady , large spacious reception and lobby , plenty of tables. Grand staircase,(also lift if needed) Stayed here for one night , on business. large dinning room , My room was large very clean ,sofa , 2 chairs , good size Tv. Bedding was fresh and clean , as was the room . Bathroom, bath and separate shower .( shower was excellent) FOOD . I opted for half board basis . Evening meal well presented and tasted awesome. Breakfast.. ok here where it goes a little bottled shape , the hotel caters for coach parties and excursions. The parties usually depart at 9 am however breakfast during week starts at 8 till 9:30 am ..SO you have lots of people waiting to go for breakfast (queuing) ONLY A RECOMMENDATION,DURING THE WEEK , START BREAKFAST AT 7AM AN FINISH AT 9 AM ,THIS WOULD ALLOW WORKERS TO EAT , ALSO TAKE PRESSURE OF THE COACHING PARTIES , I could feel people getting wound up , one nasty gentleman pushed the restaurant door open at 8:02 in a mood ( really ) Buffet breakfast fresh , tasty and hot . well done chef . There’s no pleasing some customers, I saw things with these peoples patience which opened my for when I get older . STRATHPEFFER Stayed in this area 3 times , a truly beautiful place to visit. In summary. Beautiful hotel , great staff, ( please remember, we have just come out of covid lock downs , there are places in hotel that need looking at , but these are superficial, however they currently come at a great price .) I believe hotel is in new ownership, it will take time and money , BUT , when done the prices will rise . well done to the team at The Highland Hotel ???? I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend…

driving the NW500
Reviewed By jeffsjeepwe had a night here as we drove the NW 500 route and enjoyed our stay. the room was comfortable, has a fridge and a balcony, but the midges keep sitting outside to a limit plus the room had mosquito mesh on the window, a first we have seen in all the places we have stayed...well done!...the bathroom looked updated and very clean with everything you need including the soap, shampoo and lotion out of dispensers. the food in the restaurant was excellent, including the breakfast.

Great place for dinner
Reviewed By Christine RI just wanted to write a note on behalf of our group. We were staying at a home on the same street as your hotel and on our first night after a long trip from Boston, we were walking down to the convenience store to pick up a few essentials. As we were walking by we saw someone bringing freshly caught fish into the hotel and immediately knew that we should have dinner there. We haven't stopped talking about our dining experience. We had a lovely pre-dinner drink at the bar and then an outstanding meal. Matt and the rest of the crew were incredibly warm and gave us great suggestions on menu items and for places to go on our next stop in Edinburgh. It was really nice to have our trip start out that way and we will all recommend both the hotel and the restaurant to anyone traveling to Inverness in the future.

Great experience
Reviewed By StewC526I stayed 4 nights at the Royal Hotel Tain and everything about my stay was really good. The staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful, I must mention Ayaz who went out of his way to sort out my booking and during my stay. I have a hearty appetite and breakfast was superb in regard to choice, variety, quality and quantity. I had to leave before breakfast when checking out and I was given a packed lunch which was substantial and well appreciated. The location is perfect and the hotel has traditional Scottish heritage and qualities. Thank you, I will return.

Utterly disgraceful
Reviewed By Tourist43707759604Utterly disgraceful! My family and I visited the royal hotel in Cromarty for an anniversary. We were greeted by the supposed owner giving us a smirk saying I still need to set up the table when we asked politely if we could set up my grandparents anniversary. She then turned her back on us and walked into the kitchen, later on we went back down and went to se if the table was set up. And it hadn’t changed. We went on to set up the balloons, and when tying the balloons around the chairs she said to us that isn’t a good idea. My mum said to her politely after, ‘you need to now stop commenting on my parents anniversary as it is getting quite offensive. When the food came, everyone Thought it was great. Going on to the rooms. We booked five rooms as a family and they turned out to be very average, beds were hard but bouncy, they were very hot and were quite outdated. Whilst everyone was having drinks after dinner, at 10pm the owners husband came and said this is your last order. Overall this experience was very disappointing and we will only be going back for food!

Nothings changed
Reviewed By endlesstravellingI haven't visited here for 3 years and now I remember why. Over £6 for a pint is ridiculous. Truly ridiculous. Tired dated decor. Dirty carpets. It's like time has stood still and not in a good way. Food adequate but overpriced like everything else. Definitely won't bother again. I thought they may have made more of an effort to attract customers back after covid but clearly not.
