Hotels With Gym in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom

When we first arrived at the hotel we were greeted warmly and given checked in fairly quickly. I had chosen a “cosy double room” didn’t realise quite how cosy this room would be. The bed was smaller than a regular double bed and the bathroom was pretty small too. There was plenty of parking in front and behind the main hotel building. Our room was in the courtyard which was separate from the main hotel building. The courtyard is not well signposted and we were quite confused trying to find our room initially, we had to ask a cleaner for directions. Other than being small the room itself was fine. The bed was fairly comfy and there were spare pillows in the small cupboard. The room had tea/ coffee making facilities and a tv with multiple channels. The walls were pretty thin so we could hear everything the people next to us were saying so bare that in mind. The bathroom appeared clean at first but upon further inspection the shower had spilled soap/ shampoo on the floor from the previous people that stayed there. Next to the hotel is the woodshed. The Woodshed was cosy, clean and served a variety of different snacks and drinks. Amy who works there was very friendly and welcoming and showed good knowledge of the surrounding areas. It also had popular music playing and a pool table. Dogs were welcome in this area. There was a real fireplace in here however this wasn’t lit when we visited.

Good breakfast, very helpful front desk staff, good beds and pillows, bathroom small but efficient. Toiletries minimal, but workable. Broken light fixed quickly. But the overriding issue was noise from neighbours, primarily due to thin walls. TV from one side early in the morning, and late night conversation on the other side. I don’t think they were unreasonable— just the sound insulation was poor.

Asked for our dirty bathroom to be cleaned as it was obvious no one had looked behind the door, closed it to find all sorts, from what looked like the contents of a hairbrush to all sorts of dirt, dust, general debris to an earring ! The teaspoons were the same ones as had been used by the previous occupants, (brown and sticky) cobwebs in corners ….. but no mattress protectors!!!?? The basics guys! Anyway we returned later that day to find our bathroom was still as we left it…..still not cleaned? We were leaving the following morning so didn’t ask again…..need to have a word with your cleaners, they’re not very thorough

I've been coming to this hotel for around 20 years, initially on business and now for leisure, and I visit every few years. In that time not much has changed, apart from the ownership. The hotel is still a beautiful building set in tranquil and wonderful grounds. The downstairs interior is stately and is tastefully decorated with an elegant bar, Lounge and Restaurant. Staff on Reception are polite and helpful But the hotel isn't without its issues which are 1) The bedroom furniture has been the same on every visit over the last 20 years and is showing its age 2) The carpet in the room we were given was actually threadbare in places and isn't what you expect 3) The lady waiting tables at breakfast is a joy. She is attentive, polite and helpful. The same cannot be said of the older gentleman working there who is ignorant and ignores people waiting to be seated. There is no need to be so rude and dismissive of people of all nationalities who are basically paying his wages ! 4) My biggest grumble of all is the lack of a premium lager in the hotel bar. Under previous management in the early 2000's they used to stock 1664 but now it's Carling (yuk!), Guinness, Scots ale or Cider. I would have spent a lot more time in there had they stocked better beer. That's a real own goal and other guests are of the same opinion.

Very nice hotel, well situated and adequate for our needs, not much can be found at fault with this place staff were pleasant and attended to our request when asked. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is very good in Inverness, although it is close to the airport, there is absolutely no noise after check in.

Parking is convenient and free, suitable for self-driving tour. Breakfast is OK, it is a traditional English breakfast. The room is not old, but it is still clean. It is still acceptable for one night, and there is a big supermarket next to it. Cost-effective

Unfortunately it is slightly misleading to say this hotel has a lift to the 1st & 2nd floor, there is a lift but it is only on level with a few rooms, the majority of rooms are along multiple corridors & required going up & down stairs. Even ”ground floor” single rooms are up a few stairs. Would advise against staying if you have mobility issues or phone to ensure you can book one of the few rooms on level with the lifts. I had to go all the down to reception report my TV not working, then had to do it again an hour later when nobody had been up to deal with it, The receptionist had to ask for my room number again, so guess the original note went missing. They did come up shortly afterwards and then had to go and find a replacement remote control as it was faulty. Had a decent breakfast & at least there was plenty left, unlike last time when half the hot plates were empty & even the staff moaned when they started helping themselves when guests were still eating. Nice enough hotel, but it is a rabbit warren of rooms & don't try to use the lift when coach parties arrive with loads of luggage, you'll have a long wait. Need to put up proper yellow health & safety warning signs on doors with a step behind them and also repair uneven floor areas.

Stay was great..breakfast was fantastic...room was great ...beds were comfy ..bathroom was very clean...staff were very friendly and helpful..used the swimming pool which wasn't too many people using it at one time....the only one comment will make is that part of carpet was stained with food.4/5rating for that one...everything else was very clean .which carpet should have been cleaned...

On arrival we were met at the reception desk by a very laid back guy He informed us we had been given an upgrade ,and our room was overlooking the Loch Room was large and well maintained,Bed was huge would have slept four if you are in to that sort of thing The Hotel is close by for the High Street and the Station Only complaint was the noise coming from the room above .Sounded like they were wearing Doc Martin boots on there feet,.But of course the Hotel cannot be held accountable for that.Perhaps they could put a note in the rooms asking that they respect the people in room below One tip.The restaurants get busy very early,as there are a lot of North Americans staying in area,so would recommend you book a table where possible

After having two bookings cancelled over the last two years, we finally got to make our trip back to Inverness arriving on the 8th March for two nights as a birthday treat. We were booked on a great package for a two night stay that included breakfast, two course dinner for one night, afternoon tea and a free cocktail at dinner. Check in was easy and we received friendly service from the reception staff, who stored our bags for us until the room was ready, due to us having arrived early on the Caledonian Sleeper train. Our accommodation was in a Royal room which was large and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfy and super king in size. The afternoon tea was quite nice, with tasty sandwiches etc, but the evening meal in our opinion was exceptional, with very attentive service from the restaurant staff. We had the steak (where there was a supplement) and the salmon, which was absolutely piping hot and just so delicious. The crème brûlée for our deserts were also really enjoyable. There were a list of cocktails to choose from, and you could exchange for wine beer or cider if preferred. The hot breakfast the next morning also was delicious, very tasty and well cooked, and mine had gorgeous scrambled eggs. You could help yourself to juices, drinks and buffet offerings like cereals and pastries etc. The staff overall all provide brilliant, friendly and efficient service after what must have been an horrendous two years. One lady in particular that oversees breakfast, provides exceptional service. Yes this hotel is dated, (if I was being really picky then I’d say some furniture needs replacing), but it adds to the character and charm somehow, and we just love it. This is the second time we’ve stayed here, and certainly will again. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The location is good by the small river, the city center is across the river, and the room type is relatively cozy. The only downside is that the parking is not very convenient. If you are traveling by car, you need to park in the surrounding parking lots.

The wifi was horrible. It didn’t work at all. The parking was impossible. We parked our car 5minutes walk away. The car park was full of cars already and Impossible to negotiate. The room wasn’t the same as online booking. A bit weird bathroom. Online We checked our room has a garden wide but there wasn’t a garden view. It was just blocked with narrow wall. The only thing that we liked was breakfast. I

A previous reviewer was really down on the King's Club which is a newer adjunct to the older Kingsmill Hotel where the main dining room and bar are located. I'm not sure if we could both be reviewing the same place. First of all I found the staff very helpful and nor clueless as suggested. The rooms are quite nice and I really enjoyed the outdoor patio with the Inverness golf course only a few feet away. Watching and chatting with passing golfers and dog walkers was a bonus. The room was spacious with a very nice bathroom which had a separate bathtub & shower. The breakfast buffet was quite nice if not over the top and the fruit was not old as suggested and the eggs were not disgusting. In fact they were presented exactly as at the Gleneagles resort which is definitely five star. It was an easy fifteen minute walk into the heart of Inverness. Overall I would certainly recommend the King's Club.

Really disappointing experience compared with the photos displayed on their website. Here on business for four nights. On my first night I was allocated a room with a connecting door, the guests next door returned to the hotel around 11.30pm and played music till 3am. It felt like they were in the room with me. I honestly don’t think they were that loud, just absolutely no sound proofing in the room. I requested a room change as I had confidential calls to make, the reception quickly allocated another room for me, but based on the accommodation areas it is just a very tired hotel. Tight entrance into room and toilet area. Have to say lovely breakfast and food in the restaurant was good, as are the staff. Sorry would not choose to return.

Breakfast for 14 pounds for 1 person, the hotel is in a good location on the banks of the River Ness, with parking, free of charge. The standard room is small. Go out and turn left and walk a few steps to have a supermarket. Going out to see the scenery and beautiful scenery.

The all-inclusive resort hotel is convenient for skiing, but the rooms are relatively old, the resort facilities are very good, and the service staff are busy and almost hard to contact

Some of the reviews on here seem a bit harsh. It’s a bit faded (a lick of paint here and there and they could make more of the grounds) and at times, understaffed but we had a great time. It was great for little ones and the staff were generally working hard to give people a good time. We had a lovely meal (including fantastic service) at Giuliano’s; and a good dinner (with great service except towards the end when our waitress who was fab, just had too much to do and so it was slow to get plates cleared and get the bill). The food at both places was great. Kids’ activity centre and the evening entertainment were big hits for us. Ollie in the activity centre and the lady who was also in there were great to make sure we knew all the options for the kids and were happy in there. And loads to do in the different activity rooms and soft play etc. We also enjoyed the pool. It got a bit busy one day, as did other areas of the hotel like breakfast, but to be expected with it being the Easter holidays. Enjoyed breakfast - pretty standard selection but was good and decent and good coffee and juice etc and would rather than than more options but lower quality. Staff at breakfast were plenty and replenished things quickly and were clearing plates non stop - I actually didn’t think they needed to clear as much as they did. The dinner element of the dinner, bed and breakfast stay we had was a good offer. And a great location for wandering into Aviemore or to go to Loch and Eilen and elsewhere. And loads to do when it’s wet. We’d go back.

Bad experience from start to finish. Booked the Macdonalds Morlich hotel for a 3 night stay. Things didn't get off to a good start when we entered the room, there were flies all around the window (counted 10) luckily the window opened fully so I was able to get rid of them. We were on the third floor in room 351, from a health and safety point of view there were no safety catches or security screens on windows which I found a little concerning? In addition, a squeaky toilet door and radiator not attached properly to the wall just added to our initial concerns. We choose to ignore all of this as it is an aging hotel and does need some serious refurbishment although not cheap by any means. The straw that broke the camel’s back was next morning around half 5 when we were awakened by the constant noise of the lift in use not only by a coach party leaving early but every other customer who used the lift after that, it was incessant and annoying to the point of giving my wife a severe headache, even the noise of the tv wasn’t enough to drown it out. We eventually gave up and my wife contacted reception and spoke to the night manager who said he would speak to his manager and call us back. He called back promptly and informed my wife that he had spoken to his manager and we would be moved to an executive room in the Highlands Hotel later that day. We duly continued our holiday with a wonderful walk around Loch an Eilean which I would recommend to anyone, but before we left we spoke again to a new receptionist to clarify the situation and she said the information had been passed on. On arrival back at the hotel late afternoon, we spoke to the same receptionist, who then informed us that the duty manager had stated there were no rooms available. We immediately asked to speak to the manager and informed him of our complaints and the promise made to us by the night manager. The manager was adamant that they were fully booked and there was nothing he could do, no explanation was given as to why the room promised to us in the morning was not available now. Apparently our only options were to endure another 2 nights in the same room or cut our holiday short. We chose to leave immediately which was a really sad and disappointing end to what we hoped would be a well earned break in Aviemore. We have had a few enjoyable holidays in Macdonalds hotels over the years, namely Forest Hills in Aberfoyle, Holyrood Hotel in Edinburgh including Highlands Hotel many years ago but never encountered such an unacceptable and unprofessional standard of service. Furthermore, if we had been informed in the morning that there were no rooms available we may have been able to find accommodation elsewhere in Aviemore but as you can imagine at such a late stage in the day and after a long frustrating time web browsing we were unsuccessful and returned home. Your customers deserve to be treated with more respect and empathy and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Cue yet a

The hotel is opposite the station.theres a underpass leading to a park by the hotel free parking at the hotel. Disabled access and facilities in the hotel. Management and staff couldn't have been more helpful. We had a excellent 1st floor room with shower. Nice bar and lounge. Despite the amount off people the meals were excellent served by really helpful staff different menu each night each as good as the day before. Breakfast was as good both hot and cold choices. Thanks to all and well done

Really great Hotel. Cheapest around as well so don’t really get when people book cheap hotels and complain that it’s not 5* 😂. Location is amazing. The Loch is beautiful. Staff are really nice. Rooms have everything you need and are quite spacious. Food is really good although a wee bit expensive but still good sized portions.
