Top Scottish Highlands Hotel Reviews

The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with very good amenities. Friendly welcoming staff. Very clean room and lovely breakfast."

The Royal Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was conveniently located near the center of town and everything you may wish to see in Inverness is just a few minute walk. There is minimal parking at the hotel, but the multi level city park is an easy 6 minute walk, even with roller bags. We would recommend staying there and if we come back, it will be our location of choice."
