Lovat Arms Hotel is barely o.k. I would expect to stay in a place like Lovat Arms if I traveled on a budget bus tour with 50 retirees, no offense intended to any reader since husband and I are not too far from the retirement age. And, in fact, the hotel was used by a bus tour which scored all... more

I agree with the other reviews. The hotel is in need of refurbishment. The furniture is old and horrible and the carpets well worn. It looks like nothing has been done for many years. The area is quite pretty but would stay elsewhere. more

As others have said, we didn't find the receptionist very welcoming. Our room was quite large, but the bathroom wasn't very well designed and the fittings were very outdated. The seventies style taps were difficult to grip with wet hands. And the soap dispensers did not dispense properly. Our evening meal (served in the bar a.k.a. 'Strupag Brasserie') was OK,... more

When we arrived at the Lovat Arms Hotel we were told very abruptly by the receptionist that we were in the annexe at the back of the hotel. This turned out to be a house completely separate from the hotel building. It smelt badly of smoke. Our room and ensuite were very disappointing and dingy. Our view from the window... more

We found service at mealtimes though to be haphazard, hampered by the fact that some staff spoke little English. The Strupag Brasserie is basically a lounge bar offering what... more

Basically I arrived at this hotel after an 8 hour long drive from Edinburgh. I was really hungry, but wanted to take a shower before having dinner. However, the lady at the reception told me that dinner is served between 7 and 9 pm. and that after that time I wouldn't be able to get any food. So, I decided... more

Lovat Arms is a traditional Scottish hotel with a great location. Overall our experience was positive. Staff was helpful, but more than once we had trouble communicating because their English was minimal. Our big problem was that our room was relatively small, and the bathroom was exceptionally small. In order to move around the bathroom comfortably, the door had to... more

We stayed here in early July on the 2nd leg of a trip around the UK. The hotel is about 10 miles outside Inverness in a tiny village with a good selection of shops within about 2 minutes walk. The hotel has a definate charm as it's decorated with lots of tartan and pictures of splendid looking old clans men... more
