Top Skibo Castle Hotel Reviews

The Highland Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"This is an old Victorian hotel with character. It suited us because it's not modern and sterile like so many other hotels today. The room was comfortable and staff were friendly. We did not eat at the hotel so we can't comment on the food. The town is lovely to walk around with a couple of cafes and a small Morrison's grocery shop."

Kincraig Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"A wonderful place to stay, though only an OK place to eat if nothing else close by. The building is full of character in a good way, the setting is lovely, and the rooms renovated carefully to a high standard. The public areas are also lovely, and the staff welcoming and helpful. All in all it would look like a nice up-market hotel. However, I don't think that's maybe their target market right now. I think they may be needing to go after the corporate market at the moment - maybe everything has got so expensive they're aren't enough people on holidays or weekends away. For that kind of place, the rooms and public areas are amazing, and the food is more or less what you'd expect from a corporate-customer hotel. Specifically, our dining room food was fine, as you might get in a competent budget kind of restaurant, but other diners were not as happy. It didn't quite get to a Fawlty Towers level, but the customer's complaints were made in a courteous but firm way, while the staff got a bit defensive. I don't think the customer was ever made happy, and I'm not sure the staff ever got to the point of apologizing (even if they couldn't really control the quality of the food, which in this case was a steak). The food was also very slow to come. For breakfast it's certainly a level above the Holiday Inn Express cold buffet, with a choice of one hot item cooked to order and the rest with what was out, and it was fine too. If it was a budget hotel you'd even maybe say good."

Dornoch Station

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the spacious room facilities. Enjoyable breakfast and engaging staff. Did not utilise the restaurant on this occasion but have previously had the wonderful fish and chips dish. Thankfully beautiful sunshine which added to the golfing and beach walking."

Tulloch Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice location providing a peaceful break from the city life."

Tuckers Inn

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

West End Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was fine for the price we paid. About 20 minutes’ walk from the train station. Room was clean but definitely could use some updating. Didn’t have any interaction with staff other than at check-in."

Seabank House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely incredible place to stay! Hosts are lovely, Rosie is a treat, and the property couldn’t be in a better location to explore Nairn and the area. Can’t recommend enough!"

The National Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had a comfortable night stay at this hotel. The hotel is a little tired but reflected in low price which seems fair."

Mansfield Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a convenient, yet quiet, place to spend a couple of nights relatively close (for an American) to Inverness. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and had great views. If visiting in warm weather, no A/C might be an issue for you, but the windows open and we were comfortable in September. On-site breakfast and restaurant were very handy and tasty. Easy parking. If it had a lift/elevator, it would be perfect."
