Hotel is situated in a lovely area. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the bedrooms were comfortable. James the resident host was very entertaining. Unfortunately the dining room was so crowded the tables were only inches apart and the food was of school dinner standard. If you are looking for a cheap and cheerful break this is ideal. More

This is a beautiful building in a lovely area but the interior of the hotel needs refurbishment especially the windows! The staff are very welcoming and cheerful especially in the dining room where the food is of the 'school dinner' type. Beds are very comfortable and some rooms are quite spacious. The evening entertainment seemed to be very popular especially... More

3 couples just returned home after 4 days in this hotel, although parts of the hotel are rather tired though perfectly clean, the entertainment more than makes up for any disappointment. James the resident host is a joy from start to finish, we have been on many holidays both in scotland and abroad and have never been entertained like this.... More

My husband and I have just returned from an enjoyable weekend here. The hotel is VERY tired and rather shabby, our room was tiny, from the bed we could practically touch all 4 walls! Other people we met said how enormous their room was so obviously it just depended on the luck of the draw. Entertainment was good as was... More

What a great time we had at this hotel. My husband and I have stayed at many Shearings hotels inc coast & country ones but this is the best by far. Food was better than expected, hotel very nice and the entertainment courtesy of James was exceptional. This guy is fantastic as the resident entertainer and definitely worth going back... More

Food variety was good and the preparation was excellent.Evening entertainment was well organised with Highland Dancing, Bagpipes,Accordion and plenty of singing and light hearted banter with James the...
