Took a while to find the welcome message and therefore the key. Was slightly odd not seeing anyone.

We loved this place. It was slightly dated but that added to it's charm. Very clean with lots of little personal touches. Best night's sleep we had in ages. Lack of wifi was fine as my 4g was so good there. A really good place to get away from it all.

The hotel is old and run down. Could badly do with a makeover.

Stunning location

Water was peaty but think that's expected considering where they are

We stopped here because of a injury on our bikes was very welcomed, for the price it's really good, teas and coffees, bottled water

peaty water, no kettle in the room

The hotel is located in a tranquil remote area in the middle of bogland. It has got an eerie feeling to the place but our stay was actually quite enjoyable.

A hair dryer would have been nice

Wonderful remote location in Forsinard Flow, close to hikes. Although no restaurant facility nearby they relayed that there was a small kitchen for our use, and a dining area with some basics supplied.

There was only us and another couple but they were placed in the room above us so we heard them moving about. There were loads of rooms so this seemed daft. You could install dome snack machines such as cereal or biscuits.

The property was very quirky but we liked that. Very remote so not even a shop or pub anywhere near so you must bring your own food. Very, very quiet.

Nothing- loved the remoteness, found the staff very hospitable on the morning of departure

Remote, peaceful, access to forsinard flows

Water pressure for showering.

The three people working there were very friendly and kept the place tiptop. The water pressure was my only issue. Showering wasn’t the high pressure blast I love.

We understand re the water however wasn't pleasant to bathe in.

My daughter loved the piano. We loved the quiet and remoteness - wished we'd booked longer.

No big issues.

Our one night stay was self-serviced as hotel is remotely located. It's a great base to explore Flow Country. In a walking distance there is a train station and Flow Country visitor centre. Hotel is not new, but very nice and cosy. Kitchenette is also available. Bottled water is at guests disposal as tap water is bogged - threat it like a spa! :-)

No kettle in the room

The shared lounge and cooking facilities

Stayed in July 2023

Couldn't get any hot water in the bathroom and could probably do with WiFi if there's no TV (though there is 4G phone signal).

Excellent location and very clear instructions on how to access my room. Welcome note left for me by the entrance which was a nice touch. Facilties for preparing food were adequate, the lounge was very nice (though I didn't use it).

bit eerie not seeing anyone else

position is great walk up the moor fantastic very quiet

Very old but in a way nice, so wasn’t really anything we didn’t like. No Tv or kettle in room.

The area was lovely. Something really nice about this place, very relaxing. Everything you needed was provided in the dining area.I took my own kettle as I read the reviews.

Not a criticism, but just to be aware: this isn't a fully functioning hotel so meals, a bar, or things like that should not be expected - so, having regard to the remote location, go prepared!

It's great to see this place is being revived under new management after several years' closure - it's an enchanting part of Scotland. It's clear that the strategy is to reopen bit by bit, and that's fair enough: hence it being at present more or less self-catering only (but with some bits and bobs provided). The rooms and mini-kitchen are clean and fine for most purposes, and I must admit I rather liked the atmosphere of the dining room with its hugely out-of-date hunting magazines and so forth! While it will be great if this place eventually manages to become a full hotel again, I'd certainly stay here again in its current guise.

A bit cold in the room as the radiator didn't work (although there was a portable heater which was good) or double glazing. The water is peaty, usable for washing but not drinking so they provide bottled water. No kettle or tv in the room.

A very convenient hotel for the rspb Forsinard reserve. Lovely old building. Good shower, comfortable beds, very quiet location. Loved the communal lounge with games, comfy chairs, books, tables for eating. Free use of kitchen and microwave/toaster, fridge etc.

Stayed in April 2023

No staff present in hotel at check in for any queries of questions. The hotel didn't respond to any of my messages via Booking.com Hotel has a strange smell as well. Heater in room but we found the room to extremely hot so no need for that. Carpets weren't clean, no warning about peat in the water! Very strange guests in the hotel too, some very rude German guy took offense at me taking his banana when he put it in the communal area for coffee! We just presumed it was for guests. We also bumped into a staff member on check out who took offense at me taking a bottle of water from the restaurant for the road....despite you not being able to drink any of the water in the hotel! Extremely rude staff. I couldn't recommend this place under any circumstances unless you want nightmares think I would have preferred sleeping in my car! There are far nicer friendlier places to stay along the NC500 route, I'd give this one a miss......

Bed was comfy that was about it!

No staff present in the hotel, no milk or breakfast items and hotel had a strange smell.

Location was lovely.

The peat water and no Tv were a let down. Suffered from having sore eyes for a few days.

The property was set out well with fridge, microwave and cooking facilities.

Location History Uniqueness

Not staying longer

The location, the surroundings, the ambiance, Susan and her attention to details, the quiet, the comfy, everything really. The train station lost in the middle of nowhere and the tourist accommodations around the surrounding bogs.

The remoteness of a self catering hotel was perfect for our needs

30 Miles Away from Last Grocery Store or Cafe. 20 miles Off NC500. No Attractions Around. Yellow Pete Water in Taps. Bugs Biting you on the Face if Outside.
