4-Star Hotels in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom

I asked for a quiet room and was placed on 1st floor however in a room closest to the main road with lots of traffic noise and there was construction going on nearby with constant drilling and noise until 4am so I never managed to sleep for most of the night, meaning that I couldn’t get up early to use the facilities. It’s not the staffs fault, but just be careful when booking.

First let me say that the owners were incredibly kind and accommodating. It pains me that to even write this but I thought fellow travelers should hear my experience. First, there are two aye stays in Inverness. My gps took me to the wrong one first. That was awkward. After I finally figured it out, the place was very cutely decorated with Scottish and Loch Ness decor. Contactless check in was easy however a board with everyone’s name and room numbers does not feel super safe for me a solo female traveler. But over all easy enough. Next I stayed in room 7 which is up a flight of stairs so make sure you pack light! (Which you should do anyway in Scotland.) My room had just been renovated with new carpet but it smelled like off gassing and I had to open the window (which was broken) there was a radiator for heat which I had no idea how to use. So it got a little chilly. Now here comes the problems: the rooms are very close together and the walls are paper thin. I was kept up until 3 in the morning hearing conversations and snoring. We were only given the choice of receiving breakfast between 7:30-8:30 in the dining room. So I woke up earlier than I would have liked to eat breakfast. Which was just okay. Nothing too outstanding to write about but again the hostess was very sweet. Overall I could see that they’re trying their best. But I would recommend sound machines in each of the rooms or something so people can have a good nights sleep. The location was pretty good and just over the bridge from the high street.

Perfect hotel if you’re visiting the area. Lovely location and views of the river and cathedral. Easy walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants. Rooms are of a high standard. Excellent drinks variety with the distillery and brewery on site. Service is impeccable. Great breakfast.

It's quite far, and it took more than half an hour to drive to Inverness. I was very satisfied with the hotel on this trip. It was like an ancient castle. I heard that many weddings are held here. The hotel is full of beautiful lights and stills of Charlie Chaplin. I also bought a beautiful window display in the hotel. I walked along the backyard of the hotel to the town and accidentally participated in the worship of local residents.

Stayed here recently when i was touring Scotland. A very nice hotel. Location quite far from Inverness city centre. There is no expressway to and from this hotel at the airport. So the drive can be slow due to the small roads. The close proximity to the airport does not present any aircraft noise problem. But I could hear my neighbour's hair dryer. I like the size of the room and the bathroom. Larger than most hotels. I particularly like the walkin shower as my wife and I can't climb in and out of bath tubs. The breakfast was great even though the variety of choices may not be as large as other Marriott brands of hotels. Fried eggs need to be ordered. The sunnyside up was the best i have eaten. The staff were all wonderfully friendly and helpful. You must register your car to avoid being charged. But I am sure with the many talents in the entire Marriott group, I am sure they can think of a better way to manage the parking system without their customers complaining on Internet. Overall my wife and I enjoyed our stay.

Great location, room was big and clean and sauna, pool and steam room were fantastic.

The location is quite good — only around 20 minutes by car from Loch Ness town. Our cabin was the one all the way at the top, overlooking the sheep and cow farms ahead, with a small water stream running beside it, which made the whole place feel really peaceful and relaxing. The cabin itself was spacious, cosy, and clean. However, there are no amenities provided, so make sure to bring everything you may need, such as shower gel, shampoo, etc. There is also only one small towel provided per person, so I’d recommend bringing your own if you have space in your luggage. There is no WiFi, but we did have 4G signal throughout our stay, which was helpful. The shower was excellent, with different settings and perfect water temperature. Just keep in mind that the hot water does run out, and it takes a few hours to heat up again. The only downside for us was the bed, which was not the most comfortable as it sank in the middle.

Hotel layout was lovely, room was exactly what you would need. Shower was a bit small but still good. Bed was comfy. Swimming pool and facilities were excellent with lockers to store your stuff in free of charge. Reception staff were very attentive and very helpful. Foyer bar food was good and sitting area was very chilled. We did find that the bar staff amongst the hotel were a bit rude at times, customer service could have been better in that regard. Buffet at the restaurant was a bit disappointing, not a huge range of food and for £15 each for breakfast and £25 each for dinner; it was not value for money. Location was spot on, a 2 minute drive or 20 minute walk to the Rothiemurchus centre and 50 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the village. Overall a very nice stay and would happily visit again.

The hotel is definitely not a 4 star. Top range 3 star at best. The room was clean. It was advertised as a king sized bed, however putting 2 single beds together is very misleading. The Italian restaurant, the staff are nice but the service is very very slow. Took me an hour to get food. The location is ideal. The sports centre is good and spacious. The pool is good fun. The gym needs a complete modernisation program. Not enough equipment and in a very small room. The sports centre could utiltse space more effectively and have a state of the art gym in the other bigger rooms. It would be used well, however this is sadly not the case. I will return and use this hotel in the future. The price is not cheep and if your expecting Hilton quality then this is not the hotel for you.

Stayed a night at The Glencoe Inn and had a pleasant experience. Dinner on arrival was the highlight — the lady host was super chirpy and incredibly personable, bringing a bright, happy energy that made the evening feel special. Breakfast the next morning was hosted by a gentleman with a great sense of humour, adding a light and cheerful start to the day. The room was clean and well-kept, with excellent in-room shower amenities — the shampoo and soap smelled fantastic, and a proper hot shower melted away all the fatigue. Only downside: the walls are quite thin, so footsteps and neighbouring sounds were noticeable at times. Not a dealbreaker, but worth being aware. Overall, friendly people, thoughtful touches, and a cosy Highland atmosphere. Would happily return.
