Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Warm & friendly welcome made our check in a great start to a lovely stay. The room, although at the rear of the property with no views, was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was a bonus as we didn’t expect it to be included and it was quite delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to everyone."

Golspie Inn

"Very dog friendly"

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."
