They say you only get one chance to make a first impression and our first impression of the Lovat Arms was not good. We heard it before we saw it. The hotel's bar and bistro were hosting a VERY loud live band at 7pm on a Sunday evening. The unsmiling, wooden guy on reception seemed indifferent to our obvious disappointment... more

We stayed sadly only for one night as we were passing through. What a wonderful hotel in every sence of the word. Caroline and her staff were genuinely friendly and create a real warmth about the place. I have to admit also that I read the information book in the hotel cover to cover which is a first. Carolines passion... more

Looking for a clean, competitive, en-suite room with free wi-fi to catch up with work, at a cost that means not having to work overtime to pay for it, not all solo travellers will prefer a 'lodge' or similar bed-silo. I prefer a place with a bar for a bit life when I've finished work, ideally also a restaurant to... more

Lovat Arms Hotel is barely o.k. I would expect to stay in a place like Lovat Arms if I traveled on a budget bus tour with 50 retirees, no offense intended to any reader since husband and I are not too far from the retirement age. And, in fact, the hotel was used by a bus tour which scored all... more

I agree with the other reviews. The hotel is in need of refurbishment. The furniture is old and horrible and the carpets well worn. It looks like nothing has been done for many years. The area is quite pretty but would stay elsewhere. more

As others have said, we didn't find the receptionist very welcoming. Our room was quite large, but the bathroom wasn't very well designed and the fittings were very outdated. The seventies style taps were difficult to grip with wet hands. And the soap dispensers did not dispense properly. Our evening meal (served in the bar a.k.a. 'Strupag Brasserie') was OK,... more

When we arrived at the Lovat Arms Hotel we were told very abruptly by the receptionist that we were in the annexe at the back of the hotel. This turned out to be a house completely separate from the hotel building. It smelt badly of smoke. Our room and ensuite were very disappointing and dingy. Our view from the window... more

We had a 5 night stay at the Lovat Arms Hotel, Beauly and overall we were disappointed. On the plus side we were given a large, comfortable and clean double room. We found service at mealtimes though to be haphazard, hampered by the fact that some staff spoke little English. The Strupag Brasserie is basically a lounge bar offering what... more
