Held birthday dinner here for my Brothers 70th last night. Couldn't have asked for better. Staff very friendly and attentive. Service was excellent food also very good. Would recommend this hotel even just for a meal.

Can't fault the place in terms of food, comfort and service. They've always looked after us when we go. Admittedly, the place is a little dated. It's a bit 90s decor. It would be fantastic if they gave the lounge and bar area a bit of a revamp. Easier said than done in a really busy hotel, however.

The overall hotel is good but slow at times. lovely staff. As the room are a good standard needs to be modern so does the dining room. Bar looks okay can't see a price of the cost when getting a drink. Should have a buffet breakfast so we can chose what we want

The staff makes this place special. We booked accommodation, lunch and dinner for a small wedding party. During the booking process we were helped with organising our buffet lunch and main dinner service. We were also given excellent advice on where to source flowers etc locally, the best places to take amazing photos after the wedding ceremony, in Inverness and around Beauly and even going so far as to lend us 2 large white umbrellas in case it rained!
During our stay the staff were very helpful and friendly, kindly asking if we had everything we needed and even coming to our room to check if we were okay before the wedding ceremony. We truly had an amazing stay, the room was large, clean and comfortable. Our table for both lunch and dinner were beautifully laid out for us in a nice private corner of the restaurant and there were added special touches at the dinner table which made it even more special.
The food was outstanding and everything was cooked to perfection and served in a timely manner with a service that was second to none. We couldn't have wished for more from them. With a special thank you to Paula, Kate and Chris.
