Hotels With Swimming Pools in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom

We paid a ridiculous sum for two nights in this hotel and for the price breakfast wasn't even included, the swimming pool was small and on day 1 half if it was being used for private lessons and day 2 is was closed due to 'lack of chlorine' We booked because it had a pool. The menu was not very inspiring and we could hear other guests complaining loudly about the food so we got take out. The bar shut at 10.15 on friday night and two drinks was £15.00. The carpet had a stain which looked like a clean could have sorted and breakfast was cold, expensive and the orange juice was watered down and awful. The grout round the sink looked like it had been done by a 2 year old. To top it all the room was hot and there was some terrible noise from traffic and possibly an air conditioning unit or such like so despite the earplugs got very little sleep. Total waste of money! The only good points were the staff were not rude, and it had a jacuzzi and steam room when it was open.

Lovely nite stay at the Royal Highland Hotel room was lovely very spacious with a kitchenette included. Had a great nites sleep staff very friendly and helpful who also stored our cases for us prior to checking in which was great.

First the good. The place is very nice, clean and well appointed. Beds are comfy, curtains block the sun which is important in summer when it’s light out til 10 and the sunrise is at 5. Very modern, pleasant bar/lobby. Hotel smells lovely. Lobby has fruit water for guests. Showers are nice- although weird. The wall behind the glass is peeling but it’s sealed in so it’s fine. Hotel is close to the rail, a short walk. Now the challenges. While the staff was trying their best, this place has poor organization. You sit down to eat at the restaurant and if you don’t tell them to come take your order they may not. We did that, still sat for 20 minutes before someone came to take our order, took it, brought our drinks and then returned to say the kitchen had stopped taking orders because a large group was coming down in 10 minutes and the oven was too small. They told us we had to wait 1 hour 45 minutes for our meals. They refused to serve us, despite traveling with an elderly person who could not easily walk around the block to find another meal. We had to leave in search of food. This is despite having asked the day before if we needed to book our meal. We were emphatically told no, even though they had clearly already booked the other large group for a meal, and the kitchen could not service more people. This is what I mean my poorly organized. The kitchen had not communicated with the staff, so they gave the wrong information. Also, despite checking ahead several times and being told we could sleep 3 in one of the rooms, when we arrived we learned we could not. We were traveling with our son, making this difficult. Then, we took a third room but they booked it far from the other. We then discovered our third room had adjoining doors- so we asked to move my son to the adjoining room. They did, but that’s something they should have known and arranged first. There is just little thought on customer service here. Overall would not stay here again.

Good breakfast, very helpful front desk staff, good beds and pillows, bathroom small but efficient. Toiletries minimal, but workable. Broken light fixed quickly. But the overriding issue was noise from neighbours, primarily due to thin walls. TV from one side early in the morning, and late night conversation on the other side. I don’t think they were unreasonable— just the sound insulation was poor.

5 star Simple service Staff were very welcoming room was appropriate and as expected The food was simple but done well and the hotel is only a stone throw from the Inverness airport Parking was cheap I couldn’t fault the hotel and will definitely stay again when visiting Inverness

The room is quite compact, without even a sofa for resting, but other aspects are good. The style of the furniture, the decoration and the color matching of the room have all been carefully considered. Breakfast is not a buffet but a meal. There is a 24-hour self-service coffee machine at the bar. There are many drinks and snacks in the room. Except for the small size of the room, everything else is good.

When we first arrived at the hotel we were greeted warmly and given checked in fairly quickly. I had chosen a “cosy double room” didn’t realise quite how cosy this room would be. The bed was smaller than a regular double bed and the bathroom was pretty small too. There was plenty of parking in front and behind the main hotel building. Our room was in the courtyard which was separate from the main hotel building. The courtyard is not well signposted and we were quite confused trying to find our room initially, we had to ask a cleaner for directions. Other than being small the room itself was fine. The bed was fairly comfy and there were spare pillows in the small cupboard. The room had tea/ coffee making facilities and a tv with multiple channels. The walls were pretty thin so we could hear everything the people next to us were saying so bare that in mind. The bathroom appeared clean at first but upon further inspection the shower had spilled soap/ shampoo on the floor from the previous people that stayed there. Next to the hotel is the woodshed. The Woodshed was cosy, clean and served a variety of different snacks and drinks. Amy who works there was very friendly and welcoming and showed good knowledge of the surrounding areas. It also had popular music playing and a pool table. Dogs were welcome in this area. There was a real fireplace in here however this wasn’t lit when we visited.

This was a return trip to Inverness. We decided to stay with SYHA - what a great place to stay! Helpful staff, comfy beds, well equipped self cater kitchen. Yes it's a little bit of a walk from the middle of Inverness, but a very comfortable stay.

Very pleasant stay and the staff was absolutely kind and attentive , room was clean and updated . Small quaint establishment with food available for purchase , just a small walk from the water and very close to Isle of sky . I would stay at this establishment again . Very polite and courteous staff

A small town in the middle of the nc500, at 7:30 in the evening, many restaurants are closed. The hotel is like a guest house, it is quite old, there is a parking lot, the town seems to be this hotel, the rest are BB. Breakfast is a standard English breakfast, which is quite good compared to more than 600 prices.

We enjoyed 2 nights stay here recently. Having been regular visits to this hotel over the years, it was great to return once again. Many familiar faces, with Grace on reception who is the most lovely person ever!. We were greeted by the Concierge who was as always very helpful. Welcome glass of champers was much enjoyed. Kevin the general manager, was friendly and helpful and always around during our stay. Marcus was once again in attendance and remembered us well from our previous visits. The bar and breakfast/dinner staff were all so friendly and chatty and made us feel very much “at home”. The room as always was so comfortable, bed very large and pillows which were so comfortable to sleep on. It’s a lovely touch to have the turn down service and Scottish fudge left for you in the evening. 2 bottles of complimentary water provided and a fridge. Dinner in Torrish was lovely and portion size just right. All food was presented so well and tasted as good as it looked. We had champagne afternoon tea and it was very good. Small bites of savoury and sweet which were all eaten up and enjoyed very much. More filling than it looks, so be aware if planning dinner later! Breakfast is a mix of continental and cooked breakfast with a choice for everyone available. Can’t wait for our next return trip as it’s a special hotel for sure!

Good hotel but, for their regular double room, over priced. The Glen Mhor is basically a collection of former B&B establishments which have been taken over and redeveloped. This means that the majority of rooms are in neighbouring buildings so a bit of a walk is involved! I have stayed here before and each time found myself in a small double room. They are clean, well decorated and fine for an overnight stay. On the downside, they tend to be so small that there is no room for a chair or workspace. This time around we opted for the breakfast package. The restaurant was right at the opposite end of the complex but the walk along to it was pleasant. The breakfast itself was excellent. Staff were incredibly attentive and the range of food on offer was very good. Would I stay again? That would depend on the package on offer. I wouldn't opt for a 'room only' given the small size - there are plenty Premier Inns around which, to be fair, are of an equal, if not higher standard to the standard double rooms at Glen Mhor. Location is excellent for the city centre and depending when you travel, there is plenty parking available.

A previous reviewer was really down on the King's Club which is a newer adjunct to the older Kingsmill Hotel where the main dining room and bar are located. I'm not sure if we could both be reviewing the same place. First of all I found the staff very helpful and nor clueless as suggested. The rooms are quite nice and I really enjoyed the outdoor patio with the Inverness golf course only a few feet away. Watching and chatting with passing golfers and dog walkers was a bonus. The room was spacious with a very nice bathroom which had a separate bathtub & shower. The breakfast buffet was quite nice if not over the top and the fruit was not old as suggested and the eggs were not disgusting. In fact they were presented exactly as at the Gleneagles resort which is definitely five star. It was an easy fifteen minute walk into the heart of Inverness. Overall I would certainly recommend the King's Club.

Hotel location is very good, directly opposite is the main attractions castle, Loch Ness flows through the hotel entrance, walk around, pleasant scenery, breakfast, rooms are large, health is good, clean, there is a Michelin restaurant next to the hotel , But book in advance

The room is quite compact, without even a sofa for resting, but other aspects are good. The style of the furniture, the decoration and the color matching of the room have all been carefully considered. Breakfast is not a buffet but a meal. There is a 24-hour self-service coffee machine at the bar. There are many drinks and snacks in the room. Except for the small size of the room, everything else is good.

Really great Hotel. Cheapest around as well so don’t really get when people book cheap hotels and complain that it’s not 5* 😂. Location is amazing. The Loch is beautiful. Staff are really nice. Rooms have everything you need and are quite spacious. Food is really good although a wee bit expensive but still good sized portions.

In fact, Glencoe Canyon does not have a fixed attraction. After coming from Lomond Lake and entering the mountains, every viewpoint is an attraction. There are two visit centers along the way, and the scenery is not as good as the view point. However, the most beautiful attraction in Glencoe Canyon is actually in this hotel. The hotel is located on the peninsula in the lake, the peninsula is more than 10 meters above the lake surface, the mountains and rivers, large areas of bluebells, the hotel hidden in the landscape, a picture of a paradise. Walk around the peninsula, take pictures, and watch the sunset, which is very enjoyable. Free parking lot, the room size is too big, the facilities inside are good, clean and sanitary. Warm service and good breakfast. Two-story building without elevator.

I was worried when I read the reviews at first, but other places are either far away or super expensive. When I arrived, I found that it was okay, it was an old-fashioned European hotel, the room was unexpectedly large, and the sanitation was also good. The sound insulation is poor. There is actually a swimming pool, and the mushrooms for breakfast are very delicious. The child said he was very satisfied.

When I got to the hotel, I was asked to pay a little bit more than what was advised by trip.com, but every penny was worth it! Location is great, staff are very friendly and welcoming, the room was absolutely fantastic, and the full Scottish breakfast was generous and tasty. The only disappointment was I couldn't get a bath because the bathtub obturating plug didn't work properly. However, the overall experience was good. Thank you!

Prices start at £4 or £5 per night... This is an old castle hotel on the west side of the Scottish Highlands. From a common area point of view everything is well done and impeccable. But from the point of view of the rooms...the price/performance ratio is obviously super low. The facilities are outdated, so I asked for a humidifier... A hair dryer that was produced 20 years ago came, which was completely unacceptable and had no humidifying effect at all. The shower room has very strict requirements on the size of the guests, and I personally feel that the water pressure can be further improved and improved. The laudable point is that the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap in the bathroom...all have two ball royal certifications, and the quality is also carried. The cold and hot water device of the washbasin is a traditional separate type, which is the kind of water that you either use cold water or hot water, and it cannot be warm water anyway. The sofa in the guest room is made of fabric. The disadvantage is that you can't see whether it has lice or whether it is clean. Anyway, it is so old that people don't want to sit on it at all. The carpet is lint-free, which means it's ”aged”. Well, let's talk about the public area: the restaurant's production is still quite standard, with Michelin standards, whether it's dinner or breakfast... It's pretty good, but the quality of the coffee is not good. The service staff are warm, courteous, serious and smiling. There are several casual living rooms and even dining rooms in the indoor public area, all of which are luxurious, comfortable, freehand, and comfortable, and there is nothing to fault. There are a large number of areas in the outdoor woods and paths that need to be improved, such as greening projects. One last thing to add: parking is free. After all, the owner, Mr. Chai, is a Chinese from Southeast Asia. The land of the ancient castle covers an area of 5,000 acres... If parking charges are required... it would be too stingy. In general...you can say that it is an ancient European style, but I personally think that the ancient European style does not necessarily need to update or refresh the facilities and furniture. Especially with such a large area, if the greening is not done well... it really responds to the old saying ”gold and jade are outside, and there is nothing in it”.

You must stay at this hotel when you come to Sky Island! The scenery and location are the best on the island! ! ! Highly recommended! ! ! Just rush and that's it! ! ! Facing the sea and snow-capped mountains! What kind of bike do you want? So beautiful! Beauty cried! This scenery is close to Songtsenha in the Nyingchi Bomi area of ​​Tibet! Breakfast is facing the snow-capped mountains. Breakfast is a la carte, which is very good. I recommend the Scottish full breakfast. The hotel room is also very good! There’s nothing to choose from. It’s only two or three thousand in the peak season. If it’s more than one thousand in the off-season, it’s a great deal! It's a good place to stay for a few days. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the hotel downstairs, and there is a small park gate there where you can go for a 6-mile hike along the coast. It is well worth hiking for outdoor enthusiasts. It is super beautiful! ! ! The inside of the hotel room is exactly like the picture on Ctrip. The hotel has slippers! It's also rare in Europe. The bath water is not bad! Overall highly recommended! If you come to Sky Island, you must stay at Cuilian Mountain! It is recommended to arrive at dawn. The path turns up the mountain to find the hotel. The navigation will be difficult to see clearly at night. It is much better during the day!

A big villa, the room is really small, the bathroom is so small that it is difficult to turn around, but it is clean and hygienic, the decoration is warm and comfortable, dinner has to be taken a few kilometers away by shuttle bus, breakfast is in the hotel, it is relatively simple, the level of B&B, more than 3000 room rate in Sky Island can only be like this

The environment is beautiful, located by the lake, the service is first-class, the hotel is very cost-effective, the Scottish sister-in-law in the restaurant can tell jokes, the cooking skills are first-class, pure Scottish cuisine, and the main dish is recommended for the main dish, Scotch lamb shank.

Amazing location and lovely room. The view of the bay is outstanding and one of the best sun sets I've seen in a long time. Breakfast was perfect although the volume of the death metal music coming out of the kitchen was a bit much at 8am. But would definitely stay again!

In the very center of Portree on Sky Island, next to the coop, it feels like a hotel converted from an old bar. There is a bar on the first floor, and the accommodation is on the second and third floors, but you can't hear the noise of the bar. Because it is an old house, there is a separation between the upper and lower floors. The sound is not very good, but the price/performance ratio is very good

Facilities: There are parking spaces, restaurants and bars, but there is no area for walking; Sanitation: Overall good; Environment: The location is relatively remote, a bit far from the attractions on the island. Service: The hotel front desk service is good. In addition to informing various precautions, they also help with luggage. The service level of the restaurant is uneven, some are very professional, and some are just so-so. In general, compared with the high price of the hotel (more than 300 pounds per night in this season), the cost performance is not high. Maybe the higher the expectations, the more disappointed.
