Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I got a cheap room on a popular booking site. We were there off season. I got exactly what I paid for, a double room for me and my son for one night. Room was cold on entry but soon warmed up (tunring on radiator). I marked service down as two as there wasnt any, i literally never seen another person. I recived plenty of emails about checking in process (self check in) so no issues at all. Car park was very dark, an automatic security light would of helped a bit. Slept well, showered in the wee ensuite bathroom and left with no issues or complaints. For that price id certainly book again for a place to get my head down. Really nice building. The pub wasnt open that seems on google to be a cracking place. Stathpefger was very quiet but looked to be a beautiful town”
“The Retreat Hotel in Strathpeffer offers very good value for the price. It’s not the most modern hotel I’ve stayed in, but my rating is based on what you get for the money you pay, and in that sense, it performs well. The hotel operates with self check-in. This might not suit everyone, but the process was simple and worked without any problems. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, which made for a good night rest. There was no TV in my room. This wasn’t a problem for me personally, but it might matter to other guests, so it’s worth mentioning. The bathroom is the weakest point, especially the bathtub, which clearly needs renovation and feels quite outdated. Overall, the location is peaceful and relaxing, and despite a few small issues, I would happily stay here again at a similar price.”
