Concierge was excellent! Staff was helpful and breakfast, though too expensive, was good. The hotel has some age on it and many ups and down stairs in the hallways didn't make sense if you have mobility issues. Priced kind of high for the age of the building.

Great one night stay.

The staff were all attentive, extremely friendly and more than helpful with any requests. Love music was excellent, table service from the bar all for less than the coat of a budget chain hotel in Inverness. Really impressive surrounding area/grounds, just a shame didnt get to try out the health suite/spa facilities.
