About Kincraig Castle Hotel

Kincraig Castle Hotel is a luxurious, award-winning 4-star hotel overlooking the Cromarty Firth, just outside Inverness and close to Tain and Dornoch. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the Scottish Highland setting of this hotel, once the family home of the Mackenzie clan.

The building is listed for its architectural importance, with outstanding character largely unchanged since its construction in the 1800s. The hotel has been awarded a 4-star rating from both the AA and the Scottish Tourist Board.

Bedrooms at Kincraig Castle Hotel offer comforting tradition and luxurious furnishings with carefully chosen fabrics and furniture. Guests can relax amid warm wood paneling as fires crackle throughout the hotel under ornate ceilings.

Unwind after a long day with fine dining in Kincraig's 2 AA Rosette restaurant or sip a Dalmore malt in the lounge, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. Informal dining is also available in the cozy Highland Bar, serving wholesome meals reflecting the same attention to detail.

We had seen mixed reviews about other people's stays and were a bit apprehensive about what to expect. We could NOT have had a more fantastic stay. Staff were extremely attentive and welcoming especially Veejay( the manager), Gary, Anne and Nadine. We are a family of 6 ( 3 adult couples) and it was the perfect highland base for exploring the area. Food was fresh and was made from scratch. Leave time for leisurely meals. Specially props for breakfast pancakes. Rooms were spacious and beds extremely comfy with beautiful views. Lots of communal spaces to enjoy family time and hang out. Highly recommend !!

Driving up hotel is very impressive, lovely lawns, boar and deer statues scattered around and 2 wolfhounds guarding entrance
Our hotel room and bathroom were massive with lovely views.
Food was not available but staff would help you order in from local takeaway restaurants a d would supply crockery and cutlery.
Limited menu in evening but was of excellent flavour and presentation.
Beautiful lounge to relax in with some information about history of family who had owned it.
Staff were very friendly and helpful especially VJ.
Would highly recommend a stay here, too many of theses lovely country houses have disappeared.

Chicken curry was like rubbery microwaved chicken pieces covered with what tasted like a cup of hot water with a spoon of turmeric cost nearly £30

This place is as comfortable as it is charming. Our room was spacious and included nice touches like bathrobes, a towel warmer, sparkling water, and an espresso machine. Breakfast includes a freshly cooked item from the menu plus continental buffet, and it's all delicious. We had dinner at the on-site restaurant one night and it was fabulous.

This property was severely lacking for the price point. We have stayed in “ castles” before, so we know what to expect. Kincraig’s exterior looks dirty. The roof needs attention. There are missing slates. The windows need some type of weather seal to help keep moisture from coming in rooms. Our pillows and bedding were damp. The bedding was very poor. They did have a mattress cover, but instead of a fitted sheet, they used a flat sheet. The pillows were the worst! They were flat and didn’t fluff.
The wallpaper on the ceiling and walls were noticeably starting to peel. There wasn’t any soap by the sink. Glasses by the sink were put straight on the surface, not on a paper doilie. We did not have any extra toilet paper and had to swipe some from the gents in the hall. There were cobwebs in the bathroom and hall. Parts of the shower were really dirty. The common room and dining room were okay, but you could see peeling wallpaper and water marks on ceiling and walls. The decor was weird, mixing old traditional furniture you would expect with contemporary stuff (glass bubble lamps). Breakfast was okay. Dinner was overpriced for what it was. They tun on a skeleton staff. Vijay makes the experience better. A young 15 year old girl ,at dinner, was also very good. This place needs a good scrub, new bedding, and a rebrand. The actual place doesn’t match photos presented. It looks more like a hunting lodge.

Lovely old building with many original features. Beautiful view. Only stayed one night, large dated bedroom and bathroom. Does not reflect the same ambience of other rooms. Currently doesn’t feel cosy due to its expanse. Could be lovely with time, current palette trends for little cost and by reconfiguring the room and making a comfortable seating area with a maybe a sofa bed so it can be a family room, two office chairs are not compatible with the rest of the building or comfortable. There is no artwork on the beige walls. The bathroom suite is good again it doesn’t need to be fully tiled just follow today’s trends. . A missed opportunity.

Restaurant not open on Sunday and Monday a disappointment.

Excellent castle manor building with a relaxed vibe and attentive staff. Great views across the Cromarty Firth and nice grounds. Watch for the ponies, rabbits, birds and roaming robot mowers! Breakfast and food in the restaurant is very good. Lounge and bar are very comfortable and the whole place is tastefully decorated. We had a large attic room which was warm and comfortable.

To Management,

I would like to highlight two operational issues that require prompt attention:

Bathroom Facilities: The current taps do not provide hot and cold mixing functionality. An upgrade is necessary to ensure proper hygiene standards and guest comfort, and this should be prioritised as soon as possible.

Catering/Menu Variety: The menu has remained unchanged for an extended period. Introducing additional dishes and rotating options would significantly improve the dining experience and overall satisfaction.

Addressing these items will enhance both service quality and customer perception.

Staff very friendly and welcoming - Veejay was wonderful upon check in and showed us round before we headed up to our room. Our room was very spacious and our 14 year old appreciated the separate room he had! We were leaving early on our departure day and so it was organised for us to be able to go down to the breakfast room and have continental breakfast which was greatly appreciated!

Only negative was the evening meal. Did not justify the price. Table service was excellent but the quality of the food was below par for the price. For example: a starter from the kid’s menu and a burger from the main menu for the same kid ended up costing £25 for the burger, due to how pricing works. Everything else about the hotel was lovely but next time we would go out to eat. Breakfast, on the other hand, was exceptional, especially the cooked breakfast. Tasty, healthy, well presented… We have to assume there is a different chef doing breakfasts.

From the photographs, Kincraig Castle Hotel potentially offered so much but delivered on nothing. My room, whilst large in size, was tired with mildew on the blinds and furniture from the 70s. A most uncomfortable bath.

Dinner was dreadful. The location was the bar with 70’s style small metallic looking round tables squeezed in. My starter of homemade scotch egg was bland and tasteless and looked as if a small child had made it! It was accompanied by large pile of salad leaves and carrot. The waiter brought a bottle of dressing which turned out to be vinegar. I had to ask for salt and pepper as the cruets hadn’t been laid on the tables. My main course was absolutely inedible: the asparagus was grey, slimy and probably from a tin. The broccoli was equally grey and dreadfully overcooked. The sweet potato mash was horriblel having been over spiced and the tiny fillet of farmed sea bass was soggy and unpleasant.

Breakfast was equally poor. How do you serve a grey sausage that has no caramelisation?

Definitely a hotel to avoid! This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel!

We chose this spot since there was nothing available in inverness (due to a marathon) where we would have stayed to visit the highlands. The area outside is pretty but the hotel needs updates and renovations badly. The windows are in terrible shape and I think there was mold in the room we stayed. There was no thermostat for heating so it was either too hot or too cold with the system in the room. Also they need more staff. We like to give a shout out to Vijay who helped us during our stay with check in, showing our room, taking bar orders, and server breakfast. They had two other people on Saturday night and that's it while they had two large parties of people go were also staying as hotel guests.

Great!

This castle is adorable. It's farther from Inverness than anticipated but nevertheless we enjoyed our stay. A few notes, the staff is SMALL. The daytime housekeepers double as evening bartenders and restaurant servers. The restaurant is quite good, but service is slow. The front desk lady is delightful and they made all efforts to accommodate our needs. (They rolled a cot into our room for our son, it was lumpy and uncomfortable but an extra mattress helped!) The room and bathroom and really the whole place is quirky and creaky like you'd expect, and walking the grounds was wonderful. It was essentially a B&B in an old mini-castle, and just what you'd want staying in ancient Scotland. (For a couple days, we wouldn't have wanted to stay there much longer.)

It is a perfect drive to the Dunnrobin castle in the morning !We loved this stay but the dining room was an issue bc we had to reserve time slots to eat; also the food quality was ok; my burger was not good meat but i think a mix with meat; and the bread with my soup the first nite was white toast not homemade bread, yet 2 nd nite they had a hardy homemade bread with soup; also the meals forced you to have a 2 or 3 courses when we just wanted simple meal ; the bruchetta was horrible with loads of raw onions so they need a new bruchetta recipe i think. otherwise the room was nice and staff was nice!

At first, this is a perfect hotel for a quiet stay in the highlands of Scotland! Just perfect, cozy, bucolic and inspiring country side castle hotel. The staff is friendly and accommodation is very clean. There is only one issue and that made me reduce the rating for 5 stars to 2 stars: the hotel staff required us to book a time slot for the breakfast and the only slot available: 7am on a Sunday easy going morning. Not sure if it is understaffed to accommodate all guests during usual weekend breakfast, bit just completely inconvenient for holidays.

The staff, room and hotel was very nice. But I have to say the prices for a hotel in the Highlands was London prices. Also we took breakfast with the room and when we checked out, and I checked the bill, they charged for herbal tea, this was never explained to us. The lady at the reception took this charge off.

Lovely friendly hotel, it’s a quiet time of year, so although staff was limited we were very well attended to. The bed and breakfast side was perfect, but the evening meal selection was very limited and pretty basic, but it didn’t spoil our stay

Staff are very attentive and cant do enough to make your stay a pleasure.

Breakfast cooked to irder. My friend said the pancakes were fluffy and the best he had ever tasted and poached eggs were cooked to perfection!

Dinner menu could be a bit more variable. Especially if you are staying more than 1 night, but the food was delicious.

An elevator/ lift would be most appeciated !!

Overall a most enjoyable visit.

Shame it is being run to ruin

Such a shame that this place is being run into the ground. Our stay was literally like an episode of Fawlty Towers. They are short staffed and the poor staff have way too much to do the waitress was acting as receptionist, front of house, server, bar lady, clearer and waitress. The staff were hopelessly unaware of intolererences in particular gluten free in our case. The GF cheeseboard ended up being cheese on GF toast. The black pudding which was clearly not GF was thankfully incinerated to a crisp so inedible anyway and the prosciutto asparagus was like crispy bacon. The rooms are very tired and the showers do 50°c or zero °c and nothing in between. Sorry, we will not be back

Nice stay, great food but needs window screens…

We thought our sons would enjoy staying in a castle but I was wrong. The building was quite a bit rundown and had no AC. It would have been ok if we could have had the windows open but there were no screens on the windows so the room filled up with gnats. Thankfully the service was excellent and we were able to gets fans for the rooms which certainly helped. The food and drinks were delicious! We also enjoyed the property and the ponies.

Booked this stay for its Castle description for a special celebration. Everyone on the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Some may call this place ‘dated’ but imo it was elegant in a hunters lodge/castle-y way. Beautiful bathroom, large room and comfortable bed. Nicely appointed with 2 desks and club chairs and table with view of the grounds. Petted ponies and saw bunnies. Great food. Thank you Chef for the sweet treats! Thank you Joy for the nice room assignment. Thank you to Salil and Alison and to those that we didn’t know your names. What fun!

The hotel is very nice and well-maintained. Personally, we were not satisfied with the evening staf. I had the impression that only cleaning ladies work there. We booked an evening meal. We were shocked, there was nothing to eat from the menu. We ate the most expensive fast food for which we waited 55 minutes. We liked the water the most, which we also had to pay for. I will not describe more, but such ignorance is not found in any hotel

Give this

If you are expecting the resturant on a sunday think again. we had travelled all day hoping to have a nice evening and meal . Only to be told the restaurant was closed. If we wanted food we could drive into the next village or order a takeaway. They did supply cutlery and plates for the takeaway. They also did have a list of restaurants and takeaways. The room was very dated, tiles in bathroom needed regrouting. We were supposed to be in a superior room. I dont know what the basic rooms were like. and also not cleaned properly. There were crumbs on the dresser.

Beautiful building and grounds with very friendly staff (especially Sam & Mel) however Internet service is like something from the 90s. Three days of extreme frustration with service constantly dropping when trying to work. Complained numerous times but nothing improved.

Excellent breakfast however lunch and dinner options extremely limited. Only 3 main course choices from Bar menu that closed at 5pm and only 3 choices from Dining menu also and they were same each day. No food available after 8.30pm, even for resident's.
