5-Star Hotels in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom

This hotel is located on the edge of Loch Ness, very beautiful and exquisite. The reception guy is very British butler-like, taking the initiative to greet guests and take them to visit the hotel to book dinner and introduce the use of room windows and other details. The breakfast service staff is also very British waiter gentleman service style, breakfast has a made-to-order and buffet very rich, top-notch. It makes people feel that everything in this small hotel is very well maintained. You can walk to the lake. There are not many restaurant options nearby, the nearest sister restaurant tastes very ordinary and the price is slightly higher.

Prices start at £4 or £5 per night... This is an old castle hotel on the west side of the Scottish Highlands. From a common area point of view everything is well done and impeccable. But from the point of view of the rooms...the price/performance ratio is obviously super low. The facilities are outdated, so I asked for a humidifier... A hair dryer that was produced 20 years ago came, which was completely unacceptable and had no humidifying effect at all. The shower room has very strict requirements on the size of the guests, and I personally feel that the water pressure can be further improved and improved. The laudable point is that the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap in the bathroom...all have two ball royal certifications, and the quality is also carried. The cold and hot water device of the washbasin is a traditional separate type, which is the kind of water that you either use cold water or hot water, and it cannot be warm water anyway. The sofa in the guest room is made of fabric. The disadvantage is that you can't see whether it has lice or whether it is clean. Anyway, it is so old that people don't want to sit on it at all. The carpet is lint-free, which means it's ”aged”. Well, let's talk about the public area: the restaurant's production is still quite standard, with Michelin standards, whether it's dinner or breakfast... It's pretty good, but the quality of the coffee is not good. The service staff are warm, courteous, serious and smiling. There are several casual living rooms and even dining rooms in the indoor public area, all of which are luxurious, comfortable, freehand, and comfortable, and there is nothing to fault. There are a large number of areas in the outdoor woods and paths that need to be improved, such as greening projects. One last thing to add: parking is free. After all, the owner, Mr. Chai, is a Chinese from Southeast Asia. The land of the ancient castle covers an area of 5,000 acres... If parking charges are required... it would be too stingy. In general...you can say that it is an ancient European style, but I personally think that the ancient European style does not necessarily need to update or refresh the facilities and furniture. Especially with such a large area, if the greening is not done well... it really responds to the old saying ”gold and jade are outside, and there is nothing in it”.

This is the best hotel in Inverness, everything is up to the standard of a 5 star hotel, and the service provided by Ms. Monica and Mr. Mark is excellent. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

We stayed at 5 star Dornoch Station on. B & B basis for 1 night. The room was good the receptionist and bar staff were all good. However, the breakfast was horrendous. Totally shambolic, we were served Luke warm coffee from a flask, my wife ordered porridge with honey only, without the accompanying raspberry compote and almonds.  After a long wait a full porridge with everything was delivered - which my wife didn’t want and couldn’t eat. I ordered a poached egg on toast which looked good when it finally arrived. First bite I had to spit out onto the plate. Full of egg shell, not just an odd piece, but a mouthful of them. We were offered replacements, which we politely declined and immediately checked out of the hotel to find somewhere else decent to have breakfast. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced this issue - very dissapointing and not acceptable from a so-called 5 star establishment.

The hotel is small in size, so it can also be more meticulous service. Since it was Friday afternoon, the good evening restaurants in the city were fully booked, and the hotel staff was very enthusiastic to help me call a family. Breakfast has to be selected the day before, and it will be done now, and it feels good. The location is more convenient, you can park the car in the hotel yard and walk to the center.

The hotel environment is very good, the service is warm and thoughtful, the surrounding air is fresh, and you can hike in the woods. The small suite with kitchen provides a wealth of ingredients, so you can cook your own meals, which is very suitable for vacation. Praise!
