A grotty, grubby hotel. Reception and waiting staff were pleasant and food was fairly average but the hotel is not worthy of 3 stars. As a Scot I am ashamed to see accomodation of that standard being offered. The bedroom was dirty and the bathroom was old and grubby. Everywhere in the hotel the doors and door handles were grey... more

We had quite a few issues with the hotel, that when you look at them individually seem like little things but once you add them all up it becomes annoying. Our room was fine but the bed was very small for two people, the contrst between the modern bedroom and old bathroom was quite bizarre. We did not enjoy needing... more

I stayed at the Ben Wyvis Hotel to attend my cousins wedding last month, the Hotel offered a priority service at a reasonable cost so we could check in to our rooms at 12 noon to get ready for the wedding which was fab! The wedding itself was held in the Hotel and all the guests were made to feel... more

My partner and I stayed over night at this hotel for a wedding recently. When we booked we asked for an upgraded room if possible and stated we were happy to pay more for this, we paid £110. Normally we stay in 5* hotels so wanted to try and get a good room. When we checked in we were told... more

Looking at previous reviews on the website I was a bit concerned to be staying at the hotel as this was booked as a Special Treat for my Partner. I decided to give it a go and I am soo Glad I did. On Check in the staff were friendly and chatty and interested in why you were there adn... more

I have just returned from a one night stay in the Ben Wyvis and was really impressed at the value for money and service. The Highlands are notoriously expensive (£80+ for a tiny B&B), yet this hotel offered 3-4* facilities for a similar price. We booked the Dinner option and were glad we did - not only was it really... more

Have just returned from a few days stay at the Ben Wyvis in Strathpefer. We didn't know what to expect as we had been advised that it would be full of bus tours. This so wasn't true, the hotel was really peaceful and not a bus in sight. We received a warm welcome and our room was lovely. We had... more

15th April 2008 Stayed at this hotel last night. Over all I was extremely disappointed! On first impressions when I drove through the grounds to the hotel it was most impressive. After that is is alll down hill and quite frankly the place is horrible and most unimpressive. The decor of reception and lounge areas is tired and dull looking.... more

Stayed at Ben Wyvis for 3 night through Easybreaks, DB&B. The hotel building is a lovely old Victorian house, with large dining room, large lounges and a "cinema". The food was average, with courses not being cooked to order (pre-prepared and quickly brought out). There was an a la carte menu, but we stuck to the set menu included in... more
