Comfortable room with great views over the Motay Firth, cleanliness needs to improve however - carpet needs shampooing, bed needs pulled out, washed down and cleaned/hoovered behind. Get rid of scatter cushions and cover at base of bed (these dont look to be laundered between guests). I never used the restaurant as VERY expensive. Staff friendly and helpful

Lovely hotel, staff and views

Very enjoyable 1night stay- we have been before and it’s still as good as the 1st time. Staff very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a meal in the restaurant at night. As our stay was on a Friday, it’s best to book a table beforehand as it gets really busy. Our room this time was a side sea view and very spacious with a walk-in shower- only thing I would say( as an older person) is the shower could do with a rubber mat as it can be a bit slippery

The owners and staff are welcoming, helpful, and provide a hospitality that is second to none. The food they provide is delicious and if you are lucky enough to be there on Sunday, get the roast. The view from the front porch is amazing and we were fortunate enough to see the dolphins. Our favorite stop in all of Scotland.

We had the Superior Twin room and the view outside is very pleasant. Large and clean room to accommodate everything for our stay. We stayed on our last night for the NC500. Staff are lovely and generous. Bar is great for decent selection of beers and wines. Pool table is also pretty good.

Great Hotel

Great hotel to start the NC500 on my motorbike. Great spot on the shore. Great staff. My only niggle which is a personal one is that every Scottish breakfast should have Lorne sausage and haggis. Sadly this wasn't on the menu. Still, a very good breakfast!
