Guest Reviews

• Pat (9/5): Very convenient being on the main road through Evanton. The food was good and staff friendly. - Staff very polite and helpful Sockets in our room were not in the most convenient places. Difficult to plug in the kettle and bedside lamp
• Andrea (7/5): -

• Simon (8/5): Friendly welcoming staff in an extremely convenient setting. - Staff were friendly and informative! Room was a little on the cold side, but I did not ask to find out how to adjust heating.
• Jill (8/5): -
• Valerie (8/5): - Nous avons été très bien accueillis. La chambre,bien que petite, était confortable. Les repas servis sur place étaient très bons. Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux.
• Cathy (6/5): Nice hotel, but tired looking. Food is the best part of this hotel stay. - Central to my needs. Food is lovely and plentiful. Outdated. Needs modernising and in most cases needs a good clean up. Beds uncomfortable. Room tiny. Wouldn’t take much to make rooms fresher looking. Wardrobe looked like on last legs. No towels, toiletries or tea cup for two when we arrived. Entrance to hotel looks good, but looks dirty going through to the rooms.
• Jackson (9/5): Great Stay - no breakfast , location was good no issues
• Karolina (10/5): a very nice stay, as always, at the hotel. As always. - Location, Staff and Food
• James (10/5): Short and pleasant stay, I would choose it again! - I only chose accommodation and the room was quiet, comfortable and clean. The staff were pleasant, helpful and friendly. The hotel in general had a homely, country atmosphere. I would recommend it to other potential guests. Nothing
• Sandy (7/5): More or less filled our requirements. - Breakfast and dinner in the bar were very good. The Duvets on the beds were too small and there were no extra bed coverings. Also, pillows were foam which were not good.
• Carron (9/5): -
• Kathryn (9/5): We enjoyed our stay very much - Breakfast was delicious. Room was lovely and quiet. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food was excellent and well-cooked. There wasn't a great deal we didn't like. The only issue we encountered was being on the top floor as there were a lot of stairs to carry our luggage up and down. But the room was quiet due to its location.

We availed ourselves of the bar and the drinks were spot on. for food we all had the steak pie which was fabulous. Breakfast was again fantastic and for the price was an absolute bargain. the staff were great friendly and no dramas there are many hotel chains could learn lessons from this establishment. thank you
• Gerrit (Gmail) (8/5): -
• Joanne (10/5): - Lovely little hotel. Rooms were spacious. Pub downstairs was very welcoming
• Christiane (5/5): - Das Essen am Abend war sehr gut Die Ausstattung der Zimmer lässt viel Luft nach oben. Es gab keine Ablageflächen, keine Kleiderbügel, im Bad konnte man noch nicht einmal die Brille ablegen. Kein Schreibtisch, kein Komfort. Teppiche auf den Fluren extrem schmutzig. Wie waren enttäuscht.
• Natsue (8/5): The out of an electric bulb on the bed - One of the electric bulb on the beds didn’t work.

• Leonard (10/5): - A lovely hotel
• Heather (7/5): -
• kathryn (8/5): - Great value for money. We had the best night's sleep so far (10 nights in the UK) and we've spent considerably more at other places. The room was not "modern" and there was nothing luxurious about it but it was comfortable, clean and you could actually open her window for fresh air.. Breakfast was great - ordered off a menu, not buffet. Lots of choice and generous portions. (and included in the price of the hotel!). We were happy with everything. It was upstairs from the bar and restaurant,but our room was very quiet. Nothing. It was exactly what it was and that was fine.
• Elizabeth (8/5): Clean and comfortable with tasty food. - Lovely breakfast cooked to order. Good selection to choose from and served by friendly, helpful staff. We asked to change our room as I had hurt my knee and wanted to avoid climbing up two flights of stairs to the original room. The staff were very accommodating and the new room was very small , although it had a double bed the room was very small . The view from the window was a back car park .

• Betti (9/5): -

• sandra (5/5): In leaving entrance the staff wasn’t friendly, no contact with their guest, felt not welcomed , on leaving no commen - The food was very good The mattress on the bed was very old, springs protruding I had to put two towels under,the owner wasn’t friendly. On leaving didn’t ask us if we enjoyed are stay! Very disappointed.
