Staff are excellent and could not be more helpful. The hotel and room were very clean. Beds are comfortable. We had fish and chips which was ok, but when we saw someone getting the beef we wish we had chosen that. Would definitely recommend. George and Graeme were the standouts but everyone were lovely.

The only thing we could fault was the lack of bar staff on Saturday evening. My partner waited twenty minutes to be served— only one person trying to serve about twenty customers. The staff members we came into contact with during the rest of our stay were excellent.

We were trying to stay on a budget (under $70/night) and explored all the hotels in and around Dingwall. Any that were in our price point had ratings of 7.5 or less, and reviews were always complaints about this or that. We were coming in January and didn’t want ‘no hot water/no heat’; I had a hire car and didn’t want ‘limited parking unavailable; I didn’t want to hear ‘poor WiFi’. So one of the last ons standing was Ben Wyvis and it was one of the least expensive. So we reluctantly took a chance. Check in was great, parking was plentiful, the room was reasonable in accommodation and plenty warm, and shower was hot. Room was quiet and building had historical charm. We had a lovely view from our northwest facing room. Meals were fine (dinner was a 6.5, breakfast 7.5 out of 10; yes a tad pricey). I read all the reviews going back 18 months and can only say that whatever truly negative experiences or circumstances are being presented in the reviews I find to be poppycock. I guess the staff or building could have a bad day, but if it did occur it wasn’t our experience at all. Ben Wyvis was a solid choice and without doubt a good deal. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Please note: You’ll need to bring WiFi chargers; pillows are a bit bulky; mattress on the firm side. That is good or bad depending on your taste.

Things have changed in a good way!

It's been a while since I stayed at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find the room facilities ( e.g. bathroom and also the TV's) have been upgraded. Much better now! Friendly staff, efficient check in and good breakfast. Very happy to stay here again when passing through. Strathpeffer and the surrounding area are a good alternative to Inverness where hotel prices have just become silly.

Beautiful location and property grounds, hotel is unique and historic. The room was clean and standard - listed as a mountain view but our windows faced a building. The shower water pressure was quite poor and the room was very warm. We ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and the food was fair, but coffee was stale. The staff were lovely. We don’t regret our stay here, but we probably won’t book here again.

It's an older building so you do hear things, and it could use a bit of updating but the staff were lovely, the building had character, there was a restaurant and bar. 2 busloads of tourists were staying, and they had bagpipers entertaining and a 3-piece band in the lounge. My daughter and I enjoyed our night here.
