Roy Bridge Hotel

Peaceful cabins along the Roy Bridge. Martin is a gracious host. The area is beautiful. Highly recommend to hikers/bikers of the Great Glen Way.

When I visit the Scottish Highlands I sadly expect neither value for money or decent food, but this place surprised even me, due to its unwelcoming atmosphere, overprced cheap quality meals and drinks and strange room rules, such as only sleeping between the sheets (one can only assume this was to avoid doing laundry). they even charged 80pence extra for condiments and forbade the preparation of food in my cabin. Truly one of the most astounding examples of the Highland stereotype I have ever encountered. I almost felt like if I had enjoyed my stay that the owners would have somehow felt like they'd made a loss....

Staying at a local B & B, we decided to call here for our evening meal - mistake! The dining area was dark and unwelcoming but in desperate need of a meal after a long day out, we decided to stay. We both ordered gammon, with chunky chips (as described on the menu) and for me, lime and soda water. After a long discussion with a member of staff who did not seem to understand the difference between lemonade and soda with lime, our order was eventually placed. As we waited, the staff were working around us to fix the internet connection, plugging and unplugging ethernet cables and boxes, and we listened to a call from a former customer who was clearly making a complaint about the room/service they had received. Our food arrived and instead of home-cooked chunky chips, as described on the menu, it had thin-cut (frozen) French fries, the gammon was gristly and I was unable to drink the soda and lime which was completely flat! The whole meal, minus the cost of the lime and soda which they took off the bill was £50, including one diet Pepsi - a complete waste of money. In hindsight, a packet of crisps and bottle of water would have been a better option.
