Just ok - dated and basic and in need of maintenance (the fan in the bathroom didn’t work and the bathroom door didn’t close properly). Overall too expensive for what it was. Breakfast was standard but staff were attentive.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at the Highlander Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was very good. We chose the half-board option, which included a three-course dinner (starter, main course, and dessert), and the food was good—especially considering the location. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to thank everyone at the Highlander Hotel for their hospitality.

Excellent ensuite room, very spacious and well-equipped. Also very clean and very quiet. Plenty of parking. A short walk to the town centre so very convenient for local attractions and amenities.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place to stay. Tasty cooked breakfast + cereal bar available. Good level of cleanliness. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Newtonmore overall is a charming place to stay, with the wildcat trail and cat statues. Best if you come with your own car though if aiming to go around as the public transport from Newtonmore is understandably a little sparse!

Really clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Lost my phone and everyone went above and beyond to help in the dining room and reception. Nice touches like 4 cups in the family room with enough milk sachets etc for everyone. Lovely location. Very good breakfast.

The highlander is our go to stopping point when we’re heading to Glencoe. We usually have our small dog with us and it’s great that it’s dog friendly. We’ve stayed 3/4 times now and would definitely stay again. It’s clean and the foods good.

Room was very clean and good value for money. Only two small complaints, There is no drop off box for keys as the reception building is locked until 7.00. I so delayed my start by 40 mins. There isn't enough parking id the rooms are booked up. Overall it is great value, its clean, beds are comfortable and the staff are nice so if you're not needing to leave before 7 then recommended.
