The staff was so accommodating even though we were a late arrival. Ensured we knew the kitchen would be closing shortly and let us get our dinner order in. Beds were clean and comfortable. Felt wonderful climbing into that after a long day. Warm towels and a robe made showering feel fantastic! The complimentary breakfast was very well stocked and they cooked fresh to ensure there was warm food for everyone. If I were to travel in the area again I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much for the exceptional service.

Nice hotel with quirky decor. Great customer service on Reception. Only negative is that the walls are paper thin. Can hear everything in the rooms next door and the hallway.

This is a gem of a hotel in the middle off the Highlands, isolated and peaceful. It was a very pleasant surprise to find such excellent Indian cuisine on the menu along with traditional fare.

The food was really good. I had the BBQ ribs and my daughter had the fish and chips basket. The calamari, prawns, and cod were all fresh and all the meat was cooked just right to melt in your mouth.

Room was comfortable enough. Bathroom was quite small. Staff is very hard working and wear a lot of hats doing multiple jobs at once. Nice that a warm breakfast buffet is included. If you’re looking for a stay far from anything this is your place.

Mon avis est mitigé car l'hôtel est en fait une vieille auberge qui a vraiment beaucoup de charme. Par contre, et ce n'est pas leur faute, il y a peu de choses à faire autour et c'est loin de tout, car c'est au milieu de nulle part. Le restaurant de l'hôtel était délicieux et le petit-déjeuner était parfait. Le seul reproche est que notre chambre était dans les combles et il faisait très chaud. Nous pouvions ouvrir les fenêtres mais elles donnaient sur la ventilation du restaurant plus bas, alors non...

The Cluanie Inn is a very cozy and quaint hotel in the Highlands. The staff are extremely attentive – from the receptionist to the restaurant team, everyone was helpful and welcoming. We were travelling with our nine month old, and the baby cot provided was comfortable, as were the beds. The room had great amenities, and overall we felt very comfortable. The only minor downside was the shower/bath, which is a bit dated and could benefit from being updated. That said, the food at the restaurant was good, and breakfast offered nice options and was enjoyable. A charming place to stay if you are exploring the Highlands.
