We were really looking forward to our stay. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was the friendly owner. In addition, the hotel is very quaint and clean. But... and now comes the big but: the service is an absolute disaster. At breakfast we were greeted by a very unmotivated and unfriendly lady and we quickly decided not to have breakfast in the hotel and rather visit a café. In the evening we wanted to give the hotel's pub/restaurant a try. We sat there for an hour without anyone coming to us. When we wanted to get drinks at the bar, we were greeted again in an unfriendly and grumpy manner. Otherwise we were ignored by the two waiters. They preferred to eat and drink with the people at the bar. But when local guests arrived, they were immediately served and given a card. We hadn't received a menu yet. And that after a good 1.5 hours. When we mentioned this, it was said that drinks were not ordered at the table but only at the bar. This turned out to be untrue when the waiter also provided other tables with drinks. When we asked for the menu, it was put in front of us without a word and the food we ordered was then brought back in a wordless and grumpy manner. It was our fourth trip to Scotland. We have never experienced such behavior in any hotel. This time we wanted to support a small hotel and family business and not always the big hotel chains. But this experience makes us think again.

We stayed at this hotel and had dinner in their restaurant. They offered a £35 two course or a £43 three course meal. The brown crab and smoked haddock risotto was inedible. I knew I was in for trouble went the waiter brought over this yellow, indistinguishable mess. Gelatinous is not an adjective that should be used to describe risotto, but that was the consistency. There was absolutely no taste. I have tasted baby food with more flavor. To make matters worse, there was what appeared to be hard, uncooked spaghetti sprinkled on top. The prawns in the shrimp cocktail were still frozen solid. Coupled with the uncooked spaghetti on the risotto, it made me wonder whether the chef had a relative who was a dentist and was trying to drum up some business for him or her. A few of us ordered steak cooked medium rare. I will let the images attached speak for themselves. The floating island dessert was the only edible part of the meal. It was a meringue with coconut sorbet and tropical fruit. If not for this saving grace, I would have given this restaurant a zero ranking even though Trip Advisor doesn’t allow this.

Visited here on the recommendation of a family member who has visited twice and enjoyed their visit. It’s in a great building which has been restored and modernised as an art venue. I was meeting with a friend so we’d specifically decided we’d visit the cafe at Inverness Creative Academy. We hadn’t decided wether for lunch or a snack, or just a coffee before hand! On entering the place was empty apart from three people sitting at a table. 1st time visiting. From what was on the boards behind the counter and the cakes we could visibly see it wasn’t clear the full menu available. Luckily my companion asked ‘do you not do any sandwiches or anything’ and the people sat on the only table occupied responded ‘yes the menus are on the tables’!! It turned out they were the staff!! It’s disappointing that customer service wasn’t better when we arrived! As after we’d realised what we could order etc, everything was great!! Sandwiches and coffee were great, and being a hot day the guy serving asked if we’d like anything else or some water. I will definitely go back, but for a new customer in, a new location. A bit of a welcome to customers and an explanation of what you do/offer would be helpful.
