Golspie Inn

Lovely room and the restaurant staff were lovely and friendly

Extremely disappointing. Hot water for showering almost non existent. The room, while large, had a smell of mold and was visible in the windows. We were supposed to get breakfast but on the second morning the breakfast room was locked up and no staff to be found so we left with no breakfast. Our advice….find another place

Position was good, Room Ok for one night but very small. We had dinner which I enjoyed but my husband was not very impressed with his. He had fish which he had to take quite some time to get a mouthful with no bones.

Arrived and thought I had booked a run down hotel - first appearance not good - overgrown gardens - not been cared for - needs outside maintenance ie gutters - new windows - car park tidied. Booked in - not the most professional approach. Stairs to room and lots of steps- room was clean - one or two issues that could have easy been rectified. Mattress fine - pillows could have been softer but that’s a personal choice. For being a 4 star poor WiFi resulting in poor TV coverage . Breakfast - not much choice on menu - took the cooked full breakfast - scramble eggs were inedible - tattie scone drenched in oil looked like it had been deep fried - bacon overcooked - poor quality sausage. Dining room had a leak in roof due to heavy rain . Dinner was okay again not much choice . Same board meals next day. One particular member of staff was quite rude to other guests and noted a couple left when given wrong coffee and server more or less said well I’m trying my best - it was out of a machine she could have given the proper coffee instead of having a go at the guest. Dining chairs need to be repaired and maintained. Entrance area parquet floor needs scrubbed paint stops all over it . Lastly staff were mainly nice and pleasant - manageress needs to be a bit more professional in her attitude.

satisfactory, food was excellent and good choices,

Alex made a great cup of tea

Receptionist was helpful, but did not have secure bike storage as claimed when I called before booking. Bathroom was new and good, bedroom dated. Food quality was good.

Great place to stay, food excellent and staff very good.

I found the stairs difficult but,I should have asked for a room suitable for a disabled person.

Great

No heating in the bathroom

The hotel on arrival looked run down. The bedroom was ok. Bedding was clean. Shower and windows had black mould. And plug in hand basin could have been cleaner. One member is staff (dark hair and glasses) was friendly and helpful. Dinner was awful. Being on the coast I ordered fish & chips. When it arrived the batter was very dark making me wonder was the oil dirty or was it over cooked. However when I cut into it the batter was so thick and uncooked that I had to send it back. The second attempt didn’t look much better and it wasn’t. I scrapped the batter off and attempted the fish which was tasteless. Breakfast was ok although quite greasy.

Expensive for a property of this quality. The single room has an en-suite with a bizarre design, the toilet positioned directly in front of the sink so that it is impossible to stand at it. Overall, an adequate hotel that is more expensive than it should be.

Very nice stay at Golspie Inn, very friendly staff, breakfast was very good. Very clean! There was no elevator.

Hotel is very “tired”. Marks on wall where bedheads had been rubbing on wall. Wallpaper peeling under window and cobwebs in the shower. Also a pile of dirty towels left on the floor on arrival. On the up side the food was excellent. Light on stairwell not working and cracked window panes on single glazing windows. Hotel needs a lot of work and would NOT stay again

Quantity over quality of food and warm wine.

Rather shabby smell of smoke as entered hotel.Basic facilities no shelve in shower for soap etc.Poor mattress on both beds …hammock like in firmness. No chair in room or luggage rack. Room not 100% clean.

Very convenient location. Staff very helpful. Could do with more staff at peak meal times.

The staff at Golspie Inn are so very friendly and helpful! It's in a great location for visiting Dun Robin Castle.
