    Ideally situated for us. Breakfast had plenty of choice Evening meals good

    We were a bit old to clamber into a bath for our shower, but that’s a small thing

    Nigg suite was more like a small apartment, loads of room and very private, staff were lovely, and breakfast was exceptional when presented by the owner

    Hard to prevent the shower from leaking onto the floor. Morning staff seemed a bit overloaded, as the breakfast buffet was not being restocked. Maybe too many takes for them.

    Comfortable bed. Tasty breakfast. Good dinner. Very friendly staff.

    Think it needs to be clearer that the rooms are not all in one building. It made it slightly more challenging but a novelty. Pillows were a bit flat. I needed all 4 to get comfortable

    We were made to feel very welcome even when we arrived early. We had a delicious evening meal although we didn’t need so many chips. It was perfectly situated for us to visit family

    First morning breakfast was not hot enough to eat, so only had toast. Next morning had breakfast earlier and this time was fine. Beautiful location, nice and quiet.

    The mattress of the bed was way too soft ! It just swallows you when you lie in bed.

    Great staff, we were upgraded to the Nigg suite while we booked a cheaper room! Possibility to use a shared kitchen. Breakfast was nice!

    Dinner service was a bit slow, but the food was lovely. It was a shame that the steak special had not been wiped off the blackboard seeing as they had had a busy weekend and sold out of steak - when I ordered I asked for the steak special and my server was then told that there was not a steak in the house! The food was good quality and ample portions. Breakfast was a mixed experience. I was told to help myself to cereals, etc, but I was expecting a hearty, cooked breakfast. I asked if there was a menu, but there wasn't, so I just asked for a Full Scottish. I did also ask for some toast to be made because there was no fresh bread put out (what was in the bread bin was old and tired) and there was nowhere to plug the toaster in. It seemed as if toast could not be made in the main kitchen, therefore I told the server to forget about the toast and I would go without when no extension cable could be found. The cooked breakfast was very filling and enjoyable with the exception of the beans that were only almost warm.

    I booked this accommodation because the location was very close to where I was working, and the fact that it was pet friendly. I especially liked the idea of having easy access to the garden from my room through a patio door. The parking for the Inn is just off the garden, so it was all very convenient. The staff were lovely and very welcoming to my little Cocker Spaniel who enjoyed being there. Dogs are allowed in the restaurant area and we chose to sit out in the conservatory as there was no-one else out there and my dog would be more settled.

    No wardrobe, only draws and 2 coat hangers on the back of the door. Heating wasn't working but we had 2 plug in heaters so not cold. Large cruise ship pulled up right in front of our window for a day ( See photo) . Not the fault of the hotel clearly but wasn't great.

    The staff were so helpful and friendly, made our wee cockerpoo so welcome. Food was excellent. Shower lovely hot rain shower. Room clean and comfortable. Was good to access iplayer on TV as rotten weather so back to base earlier than usual.

    Nice place, unhappy re room choice

    • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    I was given a room with a bathroom across the hallway. It was not a shared bathroom, but i had not been told this beforehand and as a woman travelling on her own, i think it is inappropriate to give this room to a woman. From what i could see at breakfast, there were only men staying there, and so this made me feel even more uncomfortable having to dress appropriately to leave my room and cross the hallway every time i needed the bathroom. Plus having to lock and unlock my room every time, via a push button code system, made this journey even more unpleasant. I would not have booked a room here had i known i would have a separate bathroom. I have stayed here before and had ensuite rooms. I would ask the team there to think more carefully when allocating rooms.

    good location, pleasant staff, food good, warm and comfy.
