The Cnoc Hotel

Wonderful stopping off place for our trip north . Really personal service excellent menu and bedrooms . Pet friendly and set in a good location

Set in beautiful countryside , with no traffic noise , sleep quality was excellent! Nice clean room and very pleasant hosts . Had evening meal here , very tasty . Breakfast cooked to order. If you are looking for a quiet getaway , this is a good choice. Internet available but no TV .

What an amazing place! I was so excited to come given the reviews and wasn’t disappointed. We came during May half term and stayed in Cinclus with partner and 2 almost-teen children. Everything you could think of was considered- ready meals were better than many restaurants. We made great use of the spa, and the wildlife was gorgeous. Deers in the pond a highlight and amazing bird song. And kids loved Shanty the dog! Felt completely off the beaten track, roads were really quiet, felt so peaceful. Particular holiday highlights included- canoeing down the Beauly; swimming at Strathfarren; pony trekking and walking in Glen Affic; lovely dinner at Cnoc hotel. The list goes on… thank you. We will be back.

We booked for a family dinner with our 3 young grandchildren. Our son and eldest grandson were walking in the hills nearby and were delayed, and our car had a puncture, so we arrived late and not all at the same time. The staff at the hotel couldn’t have been kinder or more welcoming and helpful; what could have been a tense, frustrating evening was wonderful and the food was excellent .

A friend and I were travelling the An Turas Mor bike route and had the good fortune to come across Cnoc hotel for an overnight stay. Rob hadn’t had the place very long but was so accommodating and friendly to two wet cyclists arriving at his door. Whilst there are things Rob and his family want to change at the place, what they have already completed in the dining room is brilliant. The place has a real ‘country hotel’ feel to it with the downstairs consisting of a lovely and well stocked bar, a very comfortable residents lounge and the newly presented dining room. Our hosts were very engaging and whilst still very early in their ownership, the family has a clear vision on how they are presenting their hotel. We are in the dining room for our evening meal and breakfast but we’re given options to eat in the bar if we’d preferred. Our evening meal consisted of in-house prepared gravlax followed by a nicely presented pork loin with a home made brandy sauce and vegetables.. There are already very nice touches to the food, the home made bread, the hand wrapped butter through to the sensibly priced very drinkable house wine. Our breakfast was superb, finest ingredients of sausages, bacon, haggis, perfectly poached eggs, grilled tomatoes and more of the fabulous home made bread, now toasted. The coffee was good, the fruit juice tasted and all in plentiful supply. We departed with the intention of coming back to another great stay. Nothing appears too much trouble, the staff were friendly and engaging and as their reputation undoubtedly becomes more established in the community, I’d expect the hotel to rightly be increasingly popular. We were lucky to come across the place and would recommend without reservation!

Have been a regular for the last few years at the Cnoc Hotel and at the start of July stayed for a number of nights. The hotel recently opened in April 2022 after a change of owner and has undergone tasteful refurbishment to the bar area, residents longe and dining room. Both the new owners (Duncan and Luzzann) were very welcoming and went out of their way to ensure a memorable stay. Although the provision of food is restricted to specific days, residents were provided with meals upon request). The food was excellent and the portions generous - I found it hard to manage 2 courses! Booked again for next year. The owners have further refurbishment plans and I look forward to seeing what has changed.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Cnoc Hotel, very friendly and helpful service, nothing was too much trouble, good beer and excellent food, we would definately stay here again

Really lovely stay, Duncan was so kind and thoughtful. Food was great. Room was spacious and comfortable, very clean. The downstairs residents lounge was cosy and we spent time there every day. No criticisms at all, it was a great stay.

Excellent place with a family a**osphere. Duncan the owner did everything to make sure that our stay was very comfortable.
