I know - it doesn't look much from the outside, but don't be fooled. The hotel is spotless, the service is personal and friendly, the position is perfect, and the food the drink tops the list of plus points in our opinion. It is honestly 5* food at 2* prices.
Maybe internet access would be the only addition I would make, to search the area for things to do, I know it would be welcomed.

Conclusion excellent all round!

This 3 star hotel excells at what it sets out to do. No spas, massages, pools or other expensive trimmings but good clean, well appointed accomodation. There is a large dinning room, a comfortable lounge and a bar which attracts outsiders. Prices are set at a very reasonable £40 B&B plus £22.50 for dinner but this is reduced dramatically to £50 D, B&B for stays of more than 3 nights. Bar prices are the fairest in town with all beers (cask ales) and Guinness priced at £2.50 a pint.
Our room was small but we were the last booking. This was compensated for by a good sized, newly appointed bathroom, not just a shower room.
During our 5 nights we were entertained variously by a saxophonist, folk violinists and a rendition of Robbie Burnes in true Scots vernacular. Chris the co-owner seems to have an endless source of musician friends.
No complaints but one suggestion. There could be more maps and guide books available for guests to peruse in the lounge.

This is our 7th annual trip to Scotland with our MG car club. The 4th trip to this hotel. We took over the whole of the hotel as well as 2 rooms in the Cedar Gates B and B 200yards up the road. We stayed on a Bed Breakfast and evening meal tariff. Once again service was excellent, the bar ideal and the food well up to standard. For me the Caledonian is still the best value hotel in Scotland. The rest of my party must agree as i am being asked already to book again in 2011

For comfort. hospitality and food and a real highland welcome you just can't beat "The Caley". We love it and have no hesitation in recommending it. It appears to be the favourite of the locals.We will return.
