Reviews of Caledonian Hotel, Beauly

Posted by Paul (2009-08-24)

The hotel is a cheerful shambles of rooms and corridors presided over by the owners who offered a real Highland welcome. Their dog Rusty joined in. Our visit was to attend a family funeral and our needs were met sympathetically. We had three nights of good conversation at the bar with an eclectic mix of locals and residents. An enjoyable stay.

Good location, easy to find in very pleasant village. Helpful and welcoming people. Great "stick to the ribs" breakfasts.

Could do with some updating

Hmm... We spent the following evening at Grant Arms Hotel in Grantown-on-Spey. For only five pounds more, we were treated to the best evening and morning service and accommodations we could have imagined. Perhaps that says it all.

Had a good conversation with the proprietors.

The carpets smelled like urine and alcohol, and had the appearance of not being cleaned or vacuumed in over a week. Internet access was antiquated and difficult to access. One ethernet wire had to be shared by three different rooms, not including the proprietors' daughter. The ethernet cable was located in the bar/lounge, the door to which was locked in the mid-morning hours. The floor was wavy, with the floorboards below the carpets warped and soft.The morning breakfast was adequate, but customers had to wait in the hallway for tables to be available as others finished their meal. The feeling was that we had to hurry with our meal so that others could have a seat. In the middle of our meal, the proprietor asks us to move our plates and cups to another table so a larger party could sit at our table.

IT WAS FINE CONSIDERING WE WERE ONLY IN THE ROOM FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS EACH NIGHT.

VERY ACCOMODATING OWNERS, WE WERE WORKING AT A LOCAL MUSIC FESTIVAL AND THE OWNERS STAYED UP EACH NIGHT TO LET US IN THE HOTEL AS THE FRONT DOOR LOCK WAS NOT WORKING.

HOTEL A BIT TIRED AND WORN OUT LOOKING.CLEAN, LAUNDERED SHEETS BUT A VERY ODD MIXTURE OF BED LINEN..ROOMS REALLY NEED UPDATING
