Although I didn’t have the chance to stay at Ben Wyvis Hotel due to a maintenance issue, I was thoroughly impressed with their commitment to customer service. As soon as the problem was realized, they proactively reached out via email and phone to ensure my tour group was accommodated at a nearby property. They took care of all the details, making what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless. Thanks to their efforts, we stayed at the Highland Hotel, which turned out to be a lovely alternative. Situated at the top of a hill with views overlooking part of the town, it provided a welcoming and comfortable stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast was a great way to start the day. While I can’t speak to the experience at Ben Wyvis firsthand, their dedication to ensuring guests were well taken care of speaks volumes about their hospitality. If I ever return to the area, I’d certainly consider staying with them.

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.

Edgar

Disliked: Amenities
The grounds and building were excellent. The room was very outdated. No air conditioner so made the room hot even in May. The windows don't have any screens so all the bugs (spiders/mosquitoes/etc) come in. Some of the windows were painted shut. The bed was hard and the pillows were flat. Lighting in the room was very dim. Not many USB connections. The bathroom was renovated in the "four post" room, but still was not up to standard. The tub was so narrow that standing perpendicular your toes will hit the side walls. Water pressure was very low, so showers take even longer. Carpet in the hallway worn and you can see threads. Reception staff was helpful and friendly.

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.

Our stay.

Unfortunately for us there was a wedding so hotel guests had to use a separate room for dining etc. This room was cold and few other guests said the same. We were on the second floor but the music from downstairs was loud plus we had a floodlight that lit our room up, overall disappointing.
