“Loved Dunain Park Hotel”

3/4 found this review helpful

Wonderful country house feel, we really enjoyed our stop over on the way to Skye. Beautiful building and our new puppy was warmly welcomed. Made to feel like house guests rather than customers I think all the staff loved the puppy; nice rooms we had a large double room with an additional seating area, dinner was very good, very scottish with smoked salmon and venison. No bar but a couple of nice lounges. We wandered round the gardens it is very secluded and quiet but the city is on the doorstep. If you are looking for something lively this is not it but if you want peace and quiet with nice surroundings this will fit the bill.
Breakfast was everything you would expect from a country house no good if you are on a diet but what the hell...
A good bit cheaper than Kinloch lodge in Skye and a similar experience.

“Huge disappointment! Horrid service!”

6/8 found this review helpful

What a disappointment! We received the worst service that we have ever experienced at any hotel in our years of traveling, and we also witnessed egregious examples of poor service for other guests at the hotel. We arrived late on a Saturday evening only to be turned away for dinner, since the hotel would not provide any meals outside of their formal restaurant. Not only did they decline to provide a simple dinner (sandwiches would have been fine for us), they did not even provide any useful advice as to where we might find food at that hour! Throughout our four-day stay, the general attitude of most members of the staff was to minimize effort on their part, regardless of the needs or comfort of their clientele. We were astonished that a harried breakfast staff re-seated a couple from a table of two to a table of four because they were traveling with another couple — the staff had not even taken the time to clean the table before they re-sat the couple! On our second night at dinner, the hotel was entertaining a large party that was clearly much more important than us or their other guests. We and their other “ordinary” guests received exceedingly poor service and our food was atrocious. Once again, the staff re-seated a party; this time they asked a party of four to leave the lounge to make room for the large party. These are just some examples of the exceedingly poor service that we either experienced or witnessed during our stay. This was quite unexpected considering the excellent reviews the hotel has received from several independent sources; likely, this reflects the recent change in ownership. With this poor level of service, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Fair to average with bland food”

Dunain Park Hotel

Apr 30, 2006
7/9 found this review helpful

In comparison to other places we stayed in during our trip this was poor value for money..... the place feels a bit worn out and the food is dull. Nice views, but close to the road. Our room (one of the cottages) was very chintzy.

“A very nice hotel”

Dunain Park Hotel

Apr 23, 2006
3/6 found this review helpful

We spent Easter weekend at Dunanin Park and would highly recommend it for anyone travelling through the HIghlands. Our suite was spacious and well furnished, and the staff could not have been more helpful and flexible. Food was also very good, particularly breakfasts, and the whisky collection is very extensive. The hotel was sold earlier this year and, according to the staff, there are plans to develop it by adding more rooms and a spa. Hope this does not change the character of what is a lovely, small hotel.
