Hotels near Highland hound haven, Strathpeffer

Wife & I found our way to the castle and stayed in the luxury suite. (Note: this is at the top of many stairs, no elevator) The room was lovely and enjoyed the balcony during the evening/night & morning. There were quite a few people staying at the castle when we went. Breakfast was very good. Bed was comfortable. The surrounding countryside was very pretty and had a few giant windmills on the far hills. There was an older gentleman who used to be the groundskeeper who told us about the Green Lady and that story which we had not known.... hahah. Did not see the ghost in our stay. The room was very romantic.

Pleasantly surprised by my stay. I was a bit worried after reading reviews but hotel was fine. I asked for a quiet room quick I got - room was warm, clean and quiet with lovely toiletries. The communal areas were looking a little tired but great value for money. Would happily return. Can’t comment on food as didn’t have breakfast and bar was unfortunately closed when I returned about 10.30 so didn’t get a drink. There didn’t seem to be a lift which might be an issue for those with mobility problems.

I have now stayed at the Priory on 2 occasions and will be returning again. This is a family run hotel and this is reflected in the high standard of accommodation and service. The staff are courteous and professional and clearly on the ball. The restaurant is sensibly priced and serves an imaginative menu, and high quality food. You can tell the restaurant is popular as it is a busy place, patronised by non residents from the area, as well as hotel guests. There no is also a separate more informal bar with reasonably priced drinks. The hotel seems to pride itself on the standard of customer care. Thanks again for a great stay.

Generally acceptable and clean hotel. However, I was almost tricked by being given a room that’s “HALF-CUT” by the rooftop. Essentially an attic (picture 1) at first. There are actually plenty of normal empty rooms being cleaned as I could see walking to the elevator. I asked the front desk if I could be re-arranged and they gave me another room. Pretty bad experience as I felt discriminated and tricked for unknown reason. I asked a fellow customer who checked in around the same day and he didn’t get allocated the attic room.

We stayed at The Penta from Sunday, July 17 through Thursday July 21, 2022. That Monday, we had a private tour of the Isle of Skye, and got back to the hotel at about 8:30 PM. We were tired and went to the hotel restaurant for dinner at about 8:50 PM, right before it closed. My wife ordered salmon. Huge mistake. At home, we would never order fish on a Monday, and especially not during a heat wave. But, we were on holiday and let our guard down. My wife is a physician (internal medicine), and based on the timing and severity of her symptoms, as well as her prior meal, she is extremely confident the salmon was bad. (My son and I ate burgers.) The next two days were a nightmare. She was in bed all day Tuesday, alternating between vomiting and violent, putrid diarrhea. We had a private tour booked to Glencoe on Wednesday, and were so thankful that it was not a bus tour. Our guide, Andy, stopped often for her, but we finally had to cut the tour short. This was truly disappointing as we flew to Scotland from NY for this vacation. I informed the chef of our suspicion on Wednesday evening. He told me he did not work on Monday night, but would look into it. He seemed genuinely sympathetic, but I never heard back. I also informed the front desk staff, who were similarly sympathetic, but I heard nothing from them, either. I was really disappointed by the utter lack of follow-up. Food poisoning is a serious health concern, and everybody apparently blew it off. If you are considering staying here, let me provide an honest assessment of the hotel below. Restaurant (F) See above. It earned this failing grade. Staff (B-) Over our stay, I interacted with four or five people, and they could not have been more polite and helpful EXCEPT FOR THE UTTER LACK OF ATTENTION TO OUR FOOD POISONING REPORT. i asked for a fan because the hotel, like most in the city, has no a/c. They provided two, which really helped. They were all friendly and nice. I would give the staff a solid A were it not for the food poisoning incident. Amenities (A+) The hotel bar is nice, and features a pool table and very ample, comfortable seating, including couches and tables. I enjoyed playing pool with my son while my wife recuperated in bed. The lounge bathrooms were modern, large, and spotless. The fitness center is quite good, with everything you need for a decent workout, and even has a tv and sound system. Plus, you can reserve the room for an hour. Location (A+) The Penta is a 5-minute walk from the train station, and is really close to wonderful pubs, restaurants, shops, etc. You can walk everywhere you need to be. Room (C-) We paid for the premium room, but there was absolutely nothing premium about it. The room was small, much smaller than we expected after looking at the photos online, and very, very sp****. There are no closets, so you get to hang your clothes on a hipster metal pipe that is attached to a desk. That said, the room was clean and serviced n

We visited inverness for a short time and we honestly couldn’t of had an easier accommodation experience, the staff are very friendly and attentive to your every need, when we first arrived they upgraded our room for free and let us check in early further more when we wanted breakfast in the morning it only cost us £10 a head and they offer a wide range of breakfast options, when we checked out they also let us keep our bags at the house whilst we spent our last few hours exploring the city. Highly recommend, priced well too.

Very beautiful hotel, just renovated, very clean, the fly in the ointment is that there is no hot bath, the staff's explanation is that the facilities are outdated, and the hotel guests are not enough to use hot water at the same time. Traditional breakfast is delicious and very rich
