We were a bit worried on arrival as the hotel looked a little "tacky" on the outside but was very pleasantly surprised when we got to our room. We had a king size bed in a large room with excellent bathroom facilities. Despite being a couple in a hotel that catered for large groups we were made to feel welcome... more

After reading the reviews of this Hotel by previous contributors we were a little apprehensive as to what we would find. However upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly Reception Staff and found the Reception and Bedrooms clean and comfortable. Maybe the decor was not to everyones taste but nothing wrong with it. Considering there were three Coach parties... more

As you can see from the various responses we have received everyone has different expectations and I am sorry that the hotel did not meet with yours. We would like to add that the pictures on the website are current and are a true reflection of the hotel.

Had a good stay despite the hotel being very similiar to Fawlty Towers, we just didn't find Basil! Decor in public areas very outdated, lovely if you enjoy a 70's revival! Meals very strange combinations - one night they served up with fish smothered in a prawn sauce with new potatoes sprouts and very salty cabbage ( I mean very... more

We are sorry that some aspects of your stay with us here at the Highlander did not meet with your expectations. We had a couple of new staff members and although they had their induction training you can appreciate that when they are faced with a full restaurant of 150 customers they can be a little daunted until they find...

Excellent!!

Great friendly staff to look after you, lots of customer parking, excellent food with a menu that changes every day, wi-fi in lounge, bar with outdoor picnic area for better weather, basic rooms but very clean and comfortable and rooms have televisions with freeview. Golf course near by, great local pubs and restaurants, Highland Wildlife Park just a short drive... more

We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us here at the Highlander. We would like to point out that as you were travelling with a tour group the tour director arranges your meal times to meet with the itinerary that you are following. Our menus offer a varied choice to suit all tastes and if you...
