All the beddings had hair in it, bathroom was smaller than a dog house. Been to more than 25 countries. This is the worst I’ve ever stayed in.

Great place to stay. The room was very comfortable and location with plentiful parking was very good. Doing some renovations on it but was not a factor. Highly recommended. Great rate.

Decent hotel, comfortable bedding but the floor was really annoyingly noisy with every step. It needs some work. The hotel itself was quite noisy too, especially when someone upstairs ran the water, possibly the shower. I’m not sure but it sounded like the water was running inside my room! So loud and annoying. Managed to sleep well though which was the main thing. They had good wifi and tv has Netflix (for you to sign in to your own account) but I had my laptop so just used that.
Decent overall. Breakfast was good and staff were lovely.

Rebecca and her brother were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were lucky to be on the first floor. We met her parents the next day ( owners) who were also very friendly and hardworking. My dinner and our breakfasts were very good. Easy access to the ferry and on a quiet street with old stone houses.
Thank you for a brief but enjoyable stay.

Manor House disaster
All round bad experience, I was doing a road trip around Scotland and at 8pm when I was at John O'Groats I had a call from The Manor house to tell me my room had flooded and they would put me in another room in a building down the street. The room they put me in was terrible, it was tiny had no on suite, no tea/coffee etc a hole in the wall that looked like a punch hole and defective lock on door, the shared toilet bathroom was filthy. They offered breakfast and a burger?chips as compensation. I sat in the room for 10 mins and decided it was not fit to stay the night. I phoned the Manager and was told they had suddenly got a room available so I went back and was given a room on the 2nd floor that at least had comfortable beds and on suite bathroom toilet. I agreed to stay in that room and after 90mins of stress got a reasonable nights sleep. In the morning when I woke up I noticed even this room was sub standard with stains on the ceiling and flaking plaster on walls and around windows. I went down for breakfast and asked to see the manager, I was very interested to see the supposed flooded room and I want some explanation for all the problems the night before. Reception told me the manager was making breakfast and would speak to me after I had my breakfast. After I finished breakfast I went back to reception and was told the manager had suddenly had to go to Inverness and had taken the key to the flodded room with him. I truly believe they owe me a full refund.

This hotel has a lot of beautiful history wrapped through it. It is charming, as are the people who manage it. It is in the middle of renovations, and once those are completed, I'm sure it will be lovely! I feasted on lamb curry one night there, and it was very delicious! I even recommended it to the bus driver who dropped me off there the following night. I would eat that lamb curry any night!

Room was very small with a weird and unhygienic toilet sink combination that took several flushes to work. Room was dirty as there’s building work going on and all the dust and dirt had been walked in. Communal areas were dirty as well. WiFi didn’t work, smart TV didn’t work. All in all a terrible experience.

Disappointed
House was surrounded by scaffolding due to roof repairs. Very old tired House, bed was very old and very uncomfortable. Room was not very clean with no tv service as it was waiting on a service call. Had a meal in restaurant and food was good.
Never came in to tidy room, change towels etc during our 3 night stay.
Owners were friendly and kind but House needs a major overhaul

Lovely family. Really good food. Beautiful views across the river. Would benefit from some investment but the priority should be to get some hotel grade bedding.
