This small hotel provided a luxurious and peaceful end to our tour of the Highlands and Islands. The staff were extremely attentive throughout our 3 night stay and the food was amazing! Being a small hotel the choices on the restaurant menu were limited particularly when you were eating dinner there for 3 nights. However, there were “specials” available and we found something really good every night but it might not have suited a fussier eater.
We had initially booked for dinner only and had a mix up due to Scotland's recently imposed restrictions. To avoid our evening being cancelled we decided to enquire about staying and were offered a fantastic rate by the reservation manager, Check in is completely personal, not like your standard hotel check-in. We were shown around the hotel, given a bit of history and taken to our room. Still not used to having our bags taken or our car parked so didn't make full use of the concierge. The hotel is exceptional as the price tag would lead you to expect. Queen Victoria stayed for a week in 1873 but I doubt she left a Tripadvisor review. Not sure what was bigger, our bathroom or our bedroom, and the billiard room was the delightful addition that I never knew we needed. At our level there is no such thing as a quick game so we spent a good hour in there after dinner. Dinner was worth every penny. The service was seamless and friendly. The restaurant manager looked after everything we could have asked for and our waitress was lovely. A candle lit dinner with sensational food whilst watching the sun go down out the window. We were leaving early to climb the Ben and the team gladly arrange for a picnic to be delivered to us at 6am in place of breakfast. The friendly night porter also bought us tea & coffee to the room to make sure we were awake well before sun-up. We had to take the Penhaligon's toiletries with us and sadly didn't get time to take the hotel Bentley for a spin. Maybe next time. Thank you to all the team for turning around what would have been a disappointing evening.…
We have visited Inverlochy Castle annually for the last 3 years and it never fails to 'spoil' us. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you are made feel very welcome and the standard of the rooms, restaurant and staff is second to none - absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to return next year.
We returned to this wonderful Hotel for a two night special birthday celebration and what a fitting location it is for a luxurious treat. Our room (Kings suite room 3) was stunning - spacious, extremely comfortable and provided everything we could possibly require and more besides. Everything about this hotel and it’s ambience is very refined and traditionally elegant. Without exception the staff were delightful in their manner, efficiency and approach. The only constructive comment I would add is that we were a little surprised that given the cost and the expectation, the dinner menu offered only two choices per course and did not change on the two nights of our stay. Fortunately however there was an “off menu” special (starter and main course) available which fortunately did appeal to our taste buds which we ordered on the second evening. The quality and presentation of the food itself was superb. We felt totally assured by the very in depth procedures implemented during these difficult times and feel fortunate to have stayed prior to the escalation of regulations and restrictions. We will certainly return when we have another special occasion to celebrate and when the rules have eased. …
Stayed here for two nights as part of a two week Scottish road trip. Expensive but a fantastic property and lovely big room with huge bathroom (think it was called a ‘Large Double’). The food was superb but we were disappointed that the dinner menu (which didn’t have many choices) didn’t change for the second night. In fact, looking at the website, it looked the same a week later. For £95 per person, the tasting menu should change every day in my opinion, particularly given there is no a la carte menu. May be most people just stay one night? Service was excellent but drinks very expensive. We are used to staying in good hotels but charging £80 for a bottle of wine that I can (and did) buy for £15 is too high a mark up
