Room one's bathroom is huge with the wet room and central bath! Great to see that you both loved the hotel and that you are planning on coming back. The mid week breaks and weekend breaks we offer through the winter are a good deal and allows you to sample Chez Roux's menu with of course some champagne. I have...

Stayed here in Oct 2009 to celebrate my retirement.We had room 5 which is extra decadent with the balconey and hot tub.We loved it so much we've booked for Valentines in February. We ate in the bar at night and had a very tasty, well presented meal which didn't break the bank. It's a testament to the hotel that we... more

We had a very good room - upgraded from the one we had booked. The room had a small sitting area, a large bath and shower room and a bedroom with a very comfortable and large bed. The room was spotless. We had a drink in the bar and ate in the restaurant. The food was exquisite. My first choice... more

I have also passed your comments with regards to the food onto Mr Roux. When we opened Chez Roux we purposely set out to make the restaurant affordable as possible, therefore I...

Sorry to mention, but we had to leave early sunday morning at 8.10 am and at this time there was no staff available, no breakfast served, no porter to see. We had nice food the evening before, a fancy room, but a very unpersonal staff at the reception. For the money given it was an unadequate service and the roomservice... more

Thank you for passing your comments onto Tripadvisor for us to review. As I have said many times we appreciate all comments, even when bad in order to improve our service that we offer to guests. With regards to the early breakfast on a Sunday, the majority of our guests do not require this service, hence us starting breakfast at...

We pulled into the Rocpool Reserve after a long day of golf and driving across the Scottish Highlands. The staff was incredibly accomodating, friendly and all more eager than the next to provide the best recommendations for where to go and what to do. My key rating for a hotel room is determined by the bed and shower quality, and... more

I have to agree with you with regards to the bathrooms and bed at Rocpool Reserve, the showers are excellent and we do have extremely large beds that had to be custom made. It is great to see that you enjoyed your time at Rocpool and the food in Chez Roux. Thank you for taking the time to post your...

Our family took a trip to Scotland. We stayed in places based on reviews from the trip advisor community. This is one hotel where I don't agree with most reviews. We stayed for 3 nights at the Rocpool Reserve. We had 2 rooms: a regular room and a room with a sitting room. The rooms themselves very nicely appointed, but... more

At Rocpool Reserve and Chez Roux we take great care and time in training our staff and ensuring that the service we provide is the best possible. To us the most important factor in the hotel is the staff and our service and normally we provide all our guests with an excellent level of service. Therefore, I was greatly disappointed...
