I visited this Hotel just for a drink with some walking friends and we stayed most of the night as their was good Scottish music on and we were able to dance.
The evening was very warm and it was extremely hot and stuffy in the room.
I asked the duty barman if the hotel had any fans and he replied "It's not that hot in here and no we dont have any fans."
I propped open the two entrance doors and opened a side door to let some air in but the barman closed them all immediately.
Lo and behold the same barman appeared with a fan and plugged it in but he gets no votes from any of us for being a helpful sort.

Myself and my wife went to the Star for their 6 course banquet weekend, 2 nights B & B and the banquet for under £140, the hotel if tired and needs a redecoration but the staff, food and entertainment is top class. It is one of those 'everyone should do' events but a lot of people wouldn't want to do it again.
The entertainment is fun and gets the crowd involved and between the musicians and the staff everybody knows everybody else before the night is through.
A truly highland welcome and I will be back but it may take my body a few years to recover from the cheap drink and dancing.

we went to the star for my husband birthday two days for 69pouds each for bbed. the rooms were good only drawback no lifts and if your a bit stiff can be a bit of a drag .the meals were very good plenty of choices and on saterday night a 6 course wine prices were good also .entertainment was ok and the people were very friendly we will be back also you can drive to towns nearby which we did
