It’s interesting how people have different views. You were already upset before you even checked in, I’m guessing that you’ll not enjoy your holiday at all with all the negative energy you cart around with you. As you can see from all our other reviews our rooms are perfectly comfortable and serviceable, albeit a bit dated. And you chose to book room only, so why complain about it? Read your reservation terms before you book. We remain the cheapest hotel in the area so perhaps the highlands is out of you price range?

Christine, Christine…. What a pleasure it was to host you for the first 3 hours you were here, enjoying the local live folk music, followed by a lovely meal and great chat with the other visitors and locals. Then you went upstairs for a rest and came back downstairs later, demanding that you be given the code for the Wi-Fi network that you could see in your room. As I calmly tried to explain to you that we don’t provide Wi-Fi in the rooms (no fibre here, only copper wire, so we try to manage the number of connections to allow at least some service to customers), you began to rant about needing to make an important business call and you would be taking this to the ‘powers that be’….. I remained calm, whilst wondering what type of business you run that you need to make a very important call on a Sunday evening after eight double gin and tonics, explaining that I am the owner and you were free to discuss any grievances you may have with me. A few mumbles and then you were off. Rest assured you provided a wealth of entertainment to the other patrons in the restaurant at that time who enjoyed your display. It brought them all together and they had a wonderful night. So thank you for that. Regarding your other points:1. Yes, no internet in our rooms, so please don’t book if you need this.2. It is perfectly normal in Europe to have duvets on beds, they are not ‘comforters’. They have a cover which is detached and laundered after every stay.Just to be clear, you are rating us as 1 out of 5 because you couldn’t get an internet connection in your room. You do realise that everyone who reads this review will realise that?

Not exactly sure what you expect to pay but we are definitely amongst the cheapest hotels in the area and there’s no Aston Martin parked in my garage…. Maybe go to Benidorm instead? There’s cheaper rooms there…

This review is just lies. They were awful customers. Please read all our other reviews and decide if you’d like to stay here. We don’t want customers like this so if you are going to be them then please don’t book. Ive asked for this review to be removed because it is incorrect, but Expedia won’t remove it.

Been waiting for your review… we all had a good laugh at you in the pub. Rude and condescending was the view of us all. I knew when you checked in you’d be a one star. Should’ve sent you away lol. When was the last time you had nice time and smiled? Probably a long time ago…. Don’t come back. Please!! Go and grumble at someone else

Thanks for the review Udo. Value for money is a very subjective thing. The vast majority of our guests enjoy their stay here and recognise the challenges of running a rural, seasonal business, accepting that this means paying more than you might in the city. Two burgers and two breakfasts would be 64 Udo, not 75. 17 is not excessive for a main course in a hotel and 15 for a full Scottish breakfast with coffee, juice and toast is excellent value for money in my opinion. I accept that our rooms are a little dated, which is why they are the cheapest in the area, which is probably why you chose them, right Udo?

This is your opinion, but not that of the last few reviewers we’ve had, who had different expectations and really enjoyed themselves here. It says everything about you that you booked the cheapest hotel in the area and you’re still not happy. I’m happy that you won’t be back!

Hi Dennis, thanks for your feedback. We are the cheapest hotel in the area, which is probably why you booked it. Not quite sure why you think it’s overpriced, would be nice to know what was missing from your stay. I’m guessing just another salty Expedia Booker who expected breakfast to be included in their room only booking.

This is a fair review and I think you summed it up well. The room is priced the cheapest in the area (albeit expensive) and you say yourself it was the only choice you had. Thank you for noting the cleanliness of the rooms, we pride ourselves on that. Yes the fittings are dated, but functional and clean. The hotel is 153 years old, so sorry for you that the layout doesn’t correspond to your 21st century expectations. If you’re planning on enjoying a holiday in the highlands then perhaps plan a little in advance and set your expectations accordingly?

Interesting that our main bar has been under refurbishment since November last year and you’re the first reviewer to mention it being an issue. It’s more likely that you were just upset that your booking was room only and you had to pay for breakfast. Maybe read the terms of your reservations when you make them? Looking at the cctv it seems you had a great time in the evening and thoroughly enjoyed yourself. Certainly didn’t look like you were having a 1 star time!!! Please don’t come back.
