“Very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2010

person found this review helpful

My husband and I had a short honeymoon in the Highlands. We made our base at the Scot House Hotel. On our departure I realised I had left my GHD hair straighteners and hair dryer in the room. When we returned and asked to get them, well they were not to be found. I must ask the question, what happened? Where did these items, valued at over £120 go? I spoke to Colin the manager but he knew nothing. On restrospect I realised I shouldve contacted the police, but even then it wouldve been our word against theirs. In my opinion the honesty of this hotel staff, perhaps needs to be questioned.

“Scottish Charm at its Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2010

We loved this hotel, especially because of its charming proprietor. He was gracious, with a rich Scottish accent and a deep baritone voice, and made us feel completely at home. We also were treated to sticky toffee pudding for the first time here, and will never forget that wonderful experience. The food and lodging were great. We hope to return there on a future trip.

“call that food?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2010

didnt stay at the hotel but ate there and never would again.
The barman was friendly and the bar was nice and cosy.
although i never stayed there the food has put me of ever considering it, and the chef constantly spying on us out the kitchen door.

“Most enjoyable stay and great Highland hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2010

My wife and I stayed Sat/Sun night and had a warm welcome and a lovely room. Some of the other reviews made me concerned but we were delighted with our choice. It's a small 3 star hotel so we didn't expect gourmet cuisine and were very pleased with our dinner. We chose to eat on second night also. There was a good wine list and not too pricey.

“If you are looking for a pleasant stay, go to the Arden House Guest House next door!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2010

Having read the reviews, we were looking forward to a quiet weekend away at this hotel, not expecting anything special. Having turned up, we had a basic room, which was fine, very basic, but it was clean. However, the tv was not tuned and no signal could be found, therefore was not available to us (on a Saturday evening - nowhere else to go with a heavily pregnant wife). When I informed the duty manager, he flippantly relied that I should have taken a good book to read! That comment defied the whole purpose of the trip! When I asked to change room, he said that it was not possible to do so. No apology. His whole manner was quite rude, may I suggest to him through this website that he should invest in a training course in customer satisfaction. We had enough by this time and, after being there for half an hour decided that we should ask for a full refund which was reluctantly given to us, still no apology. I was prepared to drive back to Edinburgh - a 2.5 hour drive, but we tried the guest house next door - The Arden House Guest House - the people there could not do enough for us- took us in at the last minute, provided me with a complimentary dram and gave us the best room in the house which has been very recently refurbished, along with a full Scottish breakfast - all for the same price as the other one, which incidentally, was for room only. Avoid the Scott Hotel......go to the Arden House, very warm welcome, beautiful place, good food, lovely people.
