LOCATION 100m from centre of Strathpepper so very near newsagent and supermarket. Lovely village overlooked by moors. ROOMS I stayed in the Rose Quartz room which was very pleasant, traditionally decorated, large and bright with two armchairs before big windows with great views over the village and to the moors. Very comfortable bed, bath and shower with plenty of hot... More

We booked for the first weekend in January. We were the only guests in the hotel, though the bar and restaurant attracted visitors on the Friday and Saturday evenings. There are eight or nine rooms in total, and they are all different (we peeked into the empty rooms!) - tastefully and elegantly decorated. Phil and Sarina were very welcoming and... More

We booked a table in the restaurant for a family birthday dinner for 7. On arrival we were welcomed into the main bar lounge area where we enjoyed a drink by the open fire and ordered our meals. Dinner was served in the main dining room which also had a lovely warm fire, sparkling lights, candles on the table and... More

Very close to the Village centre and with easy access to the surrounding hills. The traditional Mauritian food is definitely... More

Whether you take advantage of the holistic... More

The hotel is full of character and beatifully located in amongst the surroundind countryside and hills, When we arrived we were greeted by the very friendly owner Phil. When I explained to him that we were on a return visit to the hotel for my wife's birthday he upgraded us to his 'best room' free of charge which was a... More

Comfortable bed with ensuite bath/shower overhead. No central heating in the room so I'm glad it wasn't later in the year. No tv in the room so if that's important to you take note. Good breakfast choice.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights while on holiday in Scotland. The hotel is comfortable and well maintained. It is almost in the centre of Strathpeffer, just up the hill from the town square. It is a small hotel with around half a dozen rooms and is mercifully free of the coach tour trade that dominates most of... More
