Love the two David Urquhart awards handed to his own Hotel,Priceless. One one and only good point is very attentive staff o and sorry the good Food. This hotel is old and dated and need major investment. Just remember you get what you pay for and for an Urquhart hotel that Ain't much.

This 4 night break was on the whole very good value. Staff were friendly and hard working, (particularly the dining room staff) . Food was generally tasty and well cooked and our bedroom was large, clean and adequately equipped. However on the downside, the domestic staff need to be more on the ball when servicing rooms. Several light bulbs were... More

We are from Australia and have been travelling around UK and Europe for 3 months and can honestly say this is one of the worst hotels we have stayed in. The rooms were shabby with stained carpets and bed covers. We decided to have a meal on our first night, huge mistake! I can only describe it as "mush". It... More

This was our third time staying at this hotel. We stayed for 3 nights on a dinner and breakfast deal. Decor is a bit dated but rooms are clean and very comfortable, food great, staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Couldn't fault anything. Looking forward to returning here again.

Staff very good, accommodation very tired, set in the 80's, pool and hot tub dirty. Breakfast consisted of cheap sausages. Strathpeffer is not a big place and therefore has not many places to eat, we will not be going back.

We stayed at the hotel 9-11 May as part of a package tour (hotel last minute replacement). As with Londongreycat we were located in the lodge at the rear of the hotel. The room was large with one double and one single bed, equipped with basic tea and coffee facilities and a 'classic' 14" portable TV that only picked up... More

We stayed here from 9-11th May as part of a package holiday. Our room in the "Travel Lodges" was OK, clean and comfortable. Other reviewers have commented on the bathrooms but ours was OK if you discount the torn floor covering and cracked wash basin (everything worked and was clean). The staff at reception, when you could find them, were... More

We thought this hotel was quite good value, but the walls are a bit thin so light sleepers will struggle if their neighbours are noisy! The free spa pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were a luxurious touch, and the staff seemed to be hard-working and helpful. The town is very small and quiet though, so would only recommend staying... More
