Strathpeffer Eagle Stone Hotels

"This Historic Hotel would have gotten a perfect review from me for its location and historical connection. However if you have a room on the backside as I did you will have a sleepless night as the surrounding pubs dump bins of bottles loudly into the trash as well as slam doors well into the wee hours of the morning with no care as to who they bother."

"The room was very clean and staff helpful."

"As my wife and I continued our honeymoon through Scotland—transitioning from the perfection of Melville Castle to the Highlands—we checked into the Inverness Palace Hotel. My breakdown: 5 stars Location, 5 Service, 3 Room. Since the room is the main purpose of a stay, my overall rating is a 3. The positives are undeniable. Looking out over the River Ness provides a stunning 5-star backdrop. Service was commendable; staff were welcoming and when we requested a micro-fridge, it was brought up immediately. However, room comforts fell short. The bed was hard and pillows thin. The shower has a frustrating quirk: turning the knob unavoidably blasts you with sitting cold water due to the showerhead's angle. Soap and shampoo were provided, but we had to request conditioner (happily provided, but odd not to include by default). Unwinding was tough since the TV lacked internet or most common streaming apps or ability to download them. The general hot tub was disappointing, running a forced 10-minutes-on/10-minutes-off cleaning cycle. (The separate spa, however, is great!). Also, beware the lift—the door closed so hard on my shoulder it felt like I got tackled! Our exit was clunky: despite arranging a late checkout, our keys deactivated early. We faced pushback on our departure time, though we suspect a simple language barrier rather than rudeness. Great location and staff, but room comforts hold it back. Ironically, the best AirBnB I've ever stayed at is RIGHT behind them! "

"The Breakfast was your typical buffet, It was Hot and Fresh. Everything was kept clean. The rooms are rather small but adequate. The shower was excellent. It is located close to the train station and the bus station. It was located close to everything , easy walking."

"Clean and large room. Variety available at breakfast "

"Couldn’t fault the staff,helpful and friendly."

"This was such a fun place. We were visiting Inverness and wanted to stay in a quieter place outside of town. This turned out to be a hidden gem. The town is so quaint and quiet, we absolutely loved it! The property is an old manner that is beautiful and must have been a beauty in its hay day. It had a few quirks that come with old properties but you have to know you’ll have some of those things if you’re are going to stay in a place like this. The staff was so fun and friendly. We would stay here again in a heart beat. "

"Beautiful mansion on the water. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. We didn't have dinner at the hotel. I gave 3 stars for amenities because they don't have a gym or pool or anything like that. There is a bar and a great room to relax and play games or cards in. It was pretty cold when we stayed here so we weren't outside wandering the property much, but we would have if it had been a little nicer out. We didn't have a car so we did have to use prebooked taxis to get to and from the city while we were there. I would recommend this hotel if you want a quiet peaceful place to stay."

"Bar staff very friendly"
