Top Skibo Castle Hotel Reviews

Kincraig Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"This property has a lot of potential. Our room was very sparse and not inviting. Not what we expected in a castle. The common rooms were very beautiful and fun to lounge in. The bar and restaurant staff didn't seem very knowledgable about their menus, although the food was very good. The grounds were nice but could have been beautified a little."

Novar Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and helpful and dinner was excellent"

"Super easy check-in process and helpful staff. The room was great for a night's sleep before flying out of Inverness Airport. Short walk to shops and an easy drive to other locations."

The Highland Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Bel accueil, hôtel très charmant et bien situé !"

Royal Golf Hotel

8/10 Good

"The view from the dining room (across the first tee at Royal Dornoch, and over the Dornoch Firth) is stunning. Food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent, and the staff were very helpful. Our only disappointment was the view from our bedroom, featuring a fire escape and staff walkway. Not important as we were only staying one night, but I will check the room before booking when I return."

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Spectacular boutique hotel in a stunning location. Staff were great, as was the food!"
