### Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotel Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"The room itself was impressive and very comfortable. However, the soundproofing wasn’t great — we were woken at 5am by the room above having a shower; it genuinely sounded so close it felt like the water was coming through the ceiling! It may not be an issue for everyone, but there were a lot of stairs and the room wasn’t located in the main hotel building. This meant going outside to access the bar and restaurant, and unfortunately getting wet in the process. I would have preferred the option of staying in the main part of the hotel. Breakfast was adequate, although I was given a decaf coffee instead of the tea I had ordered. On a positive note, the view of the castle was absolutely amazing and really made up for the inconveniences. The spa facilities were good, although we weren’t provided with robes in he room whereas other guests appeared to have them, which was slightly disappointing."

### Loch Ness Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was an absolute 10 out of 10\. Check-in and check-out were completely seamless and faultless. Breakfast was amazing, with high-quality food and beautiful presentation. The views over the loch were simply breathtaking — we were even lucky enough to capture a stunning sunrise. We chose this hotel to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and even before our host Gabriel knew the occasion, he had already upgraded our room. Once he found out about our anniversary, his attentiveness truly went above and beyond. We highly, highly recommend this hotel — a perfect and memorable stay."
