This is an old property formerly i believe known as the Highlander Motel and parts of it still show its age That said my room was spacious, clean with what appeared to be a new refurbished bathroom with shower cabinet I enjoyed my stay with the staff on arrival and breakfast next morning being very pleasant. Service was excellent. One point to note is that the hotel is used for bus tours but that did not bother me in the least. Would stay here again if the need arose.

Good value stay

Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean although there were a number of stains on the wall. Breakfasts were good but the evening meal we had was poor. Howwever, overall it was a good stay and I would recommend for a reasonably priced stay.

Short family stay

Had a family room which was spacious for the four of us with a good sized bathroom. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice. Will definitely be back.
Iain, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was spacious, the bed was comfy and the shower was nice and warm! The staff were very helpful. The food is good value for money but quite plain, don't expect anything overly exciting! The deserts were fantastic though!

Great hotel in Newtonmore

Great hotel in Newtonmore. Lovely friendly welcome at Reception, spotlessly clean, quiet room and fantastic breakfast. We stayed as a pre night for an organised tour and are staying a further 4 nights as part of that tour. Very happy.
Miss L A, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you are looking for a clean place to spend the night, this honestly fits the bill. Not a lot to complain about, just don't expect any bells and whistles. As others have already pointed out, yes it does look like it is from the 1980s as the deco probably hasn't been updated in a while (bathroom looks refurbished though), but having said that, it was clean (apart from the extractor in the bathroom that needs a good scrubbing) As it is in the middle of nowhere, don't expect some fine dining experience (even though the tables are all set for a 6 course meal! Yes, complete with the salad forks), you also need to book a table in advance which is understandable due to its location and potentially limited seating. A great place to spend a night or two while exploring the local area. Staff were friendly and generally welcoming (Roshenka? seems to be in charge). We will consider staying here again

A bit noisy to be honest, you can hear everything from above, from the sides and from outside...other than that, it's fine.
IGNACIO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant, Peaceful and beautiful.

The staff was friendly. Somrtimes the owner is there too to have a supervision, which is good. Good tourist guidance, a pleasant stay for total three nights with the family. The stay is in our good memories which is what the tourists want. Only thing is the breakfast time window should be for 3 hours. But rest it was very good.
