Such a beautiful and unique hotel with a lot of charm and history. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The town of Strathpeffer is beautiful, quaint and peaceful. I am so glad I stayed here rather than in a bigger city like Inverness. Some of the interiors are a bit outdated, so if you are looking for something super modern and high tech, this may not be for you.

We found it to be quite charming and relaxing. The only negative is their restaurant can't handle the number of guests the hotel can accommodate. We had to walk down the street and pick up Chinese food. That made the experience less than perfect

Beautiful hotel on the ground floor, lots of space to sit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff. The hotel has a lot of charm. However, the room is very basic and misses any charm, the mattress is old and uncomfortable and outdated bathroom. Breakfast was also very basic.

The hotel had a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, although everybody seemed overwhelmed with a local event that night. We stayed for 2 nights, and it would have been nice if room service had cleaned up our overflowing waste bin as well as some used plates and glasses after the first night. The building itself needed some work in the upper floors. We looked over a rotting terrace/roof to the terrace on the ground floor. The carpet in our room needed replacement. But the room and bathroom were clean and spacious. I would likely stay there again.

Staff not as helpful or friendly as other hotels we stayed in during our trip to Scotland. When I notified the front desk that we had no TV remote in our room their response to correct the issue was none existent. The only elevator was not working during our stay which made moving luggage difficult to the second floor. Not many food options to choose from in the small town center.

Staff were amazing and made the stay a plus, especially the food and beverage manager. Room was clean, but a few draw backs were the tv which was the size of a computer screen and the one tiny window about 1 foot in width that only opened 3 inches was a negative. Was a little warm and dark because of this. If you get this type of room consider asking for an upgrade. Breakfast was a bargain and definately worth it. Had a concern that for some reason, the wifi in this hotel wouldn't allow us to us LGBTQ apps which made us feel they were blocked which made us wonder if the community and or owner are extremely conservative which made us feel uncomfortable. Apps worked in every other part of town and all over Scotland except the hotel wifi.

COACH PARTIES MEANT INDIVIDUAL GUESTS GOT LITTLE ATTENTION. Breakfast was especially bad food and drink items were running out and not replaced young staff were taking one plate at a time to kitchen when there were dirty tables everywhere. Staff just seemd uninterested. One exeption was reception who was very good. Whole hotel a bit tired

With a very grand facade, this is a beautiful building in a lovely location. Handy for an overnighter on our way to catch the ferry to Ullapool the next morning. The staff were also great. However, our room was awful. We had a laugh about it as it was only for a night, but it was pretty grim. The walls were absolutely filthy, the window frame black with mould, the bathroom, while actually looking quite new and having all the mod cons, appeared neglected with the tiles in the shower showing signs of mould and the showerhead needing a good clean. The hairdryer was a real relic! As I say, fine for a night but don't expect anything more than you would find in a hostel. Also, to mention - the walls are paper thin. Could hear the people talking in the next room until about 4 in the morning. Could do with some serious investment and upgrading (even a lick of paint!) and it would be AMAZING! (Breakfast was good.)

Beautiful old hotel. I arrived to a beautiful old hotel lodge lobby. It’s lined with fantastic old pinewood panelled walls. The staircase was also quite nice to look at. The staff were very friendly and parking was easy. My room was clean, nice and warm. Good hot water pressure, comfortable bed and it was quiet at night. I used the Highland Hotel as a base to drive around the Upper Highlands for a few days. Definitely a great pick. I didn’t eat or drink at the Hotel, but the bar looked good with plenty of comfortable places to sit. I had a nice stay. 👍
