Happy Highlander
Comfortable and convenient. Dining options within are limited, but other options are available. Special mention for Murray, the night porter, who dealt very efficiently and effectively with a crowd of exceptionally noisy and unruly Chinese students whom were partying into the early hours. Top marks Murray !

Faded splendour undergoing transformation.
The hotel's position overlooking the spa and its gardens is fabulous, and the public rooms present a beautiful Victorian ambience. Despite a restricted evening menu, the dining room served superb food, and the staff provided excellent service. This was a very positive aspect of my stay. When one arrives late during the weekend, car parking problems arise, as I experienced last Saturday when all regular parking spaces were occupied. This forced me to park on a grass verge within the premises. On the negative side, the central heating in the allocated room did not work, so the hotel manager switched rooms for me. Further, as an arthritic 84-year-old with a bed that was as hard as a rock to sleep on, the experience was most uncomfortable. However, I understand the hotel is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade. I am confident that the result will be excellent and the Highland Hotel will return to its former glory.

Reception staff friendly. Downstairs area was large with plenty of seating. Room was a disappointment. Kettle not working, cups and spoons only rinsed, still had tea stains. Towels had holes. Mildew around taps, fittings and shower head. Toilet not properly cleaned and light pull cord filthy. Top and bottom of bathroom bin dusty and dirty. Curtain linings were ripped and lampshade trimming coming off.
