4.0 / 5 4.0 / 5 Paul [Royston, GB] on 24/08/2009 (Mature couple)

Good location, easy to find in very pleasant village. Helpful and welcoming people. Great "stick to the ribs" breakfasts.

Could do with some updating

Overall: The hotel is a cheerful shambles of rooms and corridors presided over by the owners who offered a real Highland welcome. Their dog Rusty joined in. Our visit was to attend a family funeral and our needs were met sympathetically. We had three nights of good conversation at the bar with an eclectic mix of locals and residents. An enjoyable stay.  (108655690)

Had a good conversation with the proprietors.

The carpets smelled like urine and alcohol, and had the appearance of not being cleaned or vacuumed in over a week. Internet access was antiquated and difficult to access. One ethernet wire had to be shared by three different rooms, not including the proprietors' daughter. The ethernet cable was located in the bar/lounge, the door to which was locked in the mid-morning hours. The floor was wavy, with the floorboards below the carpets warped and soft. The morning breakfast was adequate, but customers had to wait in the hallway for tables to be available as others finished their meal. The feeling was that we had to hurry with our meal so that others could have a seat. In the middle of our meal, the proprietor asks us to move our plates and cups to another table so a larger party could sit at our table.

Overall: Hmm... We spent the following evening at Grant Arms Hotel in Grantown-on-Spey. For only five pounds more, we were treated to the best evening and morning service and accommodations we could have imagined. Perhaps that says it all.  (108842039)

VERY ACCOMODATING OWNERS, WE WERE WORKING AT A LOCAL MUSIC FESTIVAL AND THE OWNERS STAYED UP EACH NIGHT TO LET US IN THE HOTEL AS THE FRONT DOOR LOCK WAS NOT WORKING.

HOTEL A BIT TIRED AND WORN OUT LOOKING.CLEAN, LAUNDERED SHEETS BUT A VERY ODD MIXTURE OF BED LINEN..ROOMS REALLY NEED UPDATING

Overall: IT WAS FINE CONSIDERING WE WERE ONLY IN THE ROOM FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS EACH NIGHT.  (108925122)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
