Alness Holidays from £294

Lovely clean rooms with everything we needed. Very close to the castle and train station. WiFi was brilliant . Great for a short stay

Staff were friendly and gave us a good larger than expected room on arrival which was good. The hotwl is positioned in a very peaceful area. We had a room on the ground floor at the back so there was no road noise but lots of noise late at night when other guests were arriving to their rooms. Walls/floors are thin! The water coming out of the taps and toilet was yellow..not sure why. Bottles of yellow tap water were being served to customers. The menu was not to our taste far too much spicy food. I had to send the corn on the cob back as it was covered in spice. We were then brought a new plain one and were not charged which was good. Can't comment on the cooked breakfast as we only had fruit/continental options.

We had a wonderful stay at Whispering Pine Lodge and absolutely loved our time there. The property is simply beautiful, with an incredible setting and a great deal of thought and care evident throughout. Our room was very nice, comfortable and cosy, although it was a little on the smaller side for a family travelling with luggage. I am not sure there is much that can be done about this given the character of the property. The staff were equally impressive — warm, attentive and genuinely lovely. From a seamless check-in to arranging restaurant bookings, everything was handled effortlessly. Even our additional requests, including a fan for the room and a change of bedding, were taken care of promptly and with a smile. It is rare to find a place where the setting, property and service come together so well. An amazing place, beautifully maintained and run by an equally amazing team. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

I struggled on how to review this property. In some ways the property is amazing and in other ways it could use some work. This property is very unique and set in a beautiful spot on Loch Ness. There a lot of things for kids to do on property. We loved sitting on the benches by the boat house looking out over the loch. The rooms are individually owned apartments. Our room was okay, but not the best. The furniture and area rug had stains. The toilet was difficult to operate. We were there in July and it was pretty warm. Being on the top floor with no AC was uncomfortable at times. It was nice to have a washer/dryer, refrigerator, and stove/oven in the room. Overall we would definitely stay at this property again but maybe try to get a different room.

Really nice! Heated bathroom floors, great shower, all toiletries provided! Afternoon tea was lovely. And dining was lovely!
