Top Highland Hotel Reviews

B&B HOTEL Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"property from the outside is nothing to speak off but the rooms inside we clean, modern enough and the staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. Parking is a five-minute walk to a public car park, and sometimes unloading at the hotel is tricky."

Dunollie Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a lovely location overlooking the water with a free parking lot at the side and back of the hotel. Check-in was seamless; however, the person who attended to us at check-in, seemed preoccupied and didn’t make an effort to welcome us nor explain everything to us when we arrived. The room that we had booked was as advertised with a king bed and an unobstructed view of the water. However, the room was underwhelming in the sense that it had no dresser for clothes nor side tables on each side of the bed. The room had ample room for these items. The room also was not decorated on the walls. These touches would enhance the room and provide more convenience for customers. There were parts of the room that were also not dusted and the carpets were stained. The bed was extremely comfortable with fresh linens that were very clean. The highlight of this hotel was the lounge area with a bar as well as the dining area with views of the ocean. The breakfast was outstanding and the service in the dining room and lounge was very good. Aside from the state of the room, we enjoyed our time at this hotel and would return. However for the quality I would say that the rates are a bit overpriced."

Ben Nevis Hotel & Leisure Club

8/10 Good

"I really liked this hotel. I was travelling alone and felt safe and comfortable. Really nice breakfast, parking was convenient. The best bit were the staff, I had a huge backpack, they saw me coming and opened a different door so I didn’t have to struggle through the rotating door. Really friendly and kind, answered my questions. Would book again."

The Lodge on the Loch by OYO

8/10 Good

"This place is a mix of good and bad, In general, the good significantly outweighs any bad we had. Bad: The place needs a decorating overhaul. Everything is a bit outdated and the walls have not be painted well. There were several instances of paint on handles etc and patchy painted area as well. For our room anyway, to have a shower was a little tricky as it's in a bath (jacuzzi actually) with no shower screen, so you had to hold the shower head and try not to get the water everywhere. The breakfast was only OK - have had better and also had worse. Although there were items to select, they were sparse and not overly warm. You have to pay £13.50 extra each for it. We had an evening meal there as well. It was rather expensive for what it was. Certainly for that price, we weren't expecting the likely use of frozen mixed veg. Good; The obvious good was the absolutely stunning view of the lake and mountains from the bedroom window. The room itself was huge (even though it was called a compact twin) and included 2 easy chairs from which you could sit and drink in the views. The beds were very comfortable and the heavy curtain made for a good black out, So got a good night. Overall, there are things that need to be improved but we were so happy with the room size and view that we simply didn't care too much about the rest. I think they rely on this. Note: you can also find a little stony beach just 50m from the hotel from which I took some great photos and of the sunset."
