Golspie Inn

Golspie Inn was a nice place to stay while visiting the Golspie area. The hotel staff was pleasant and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable, but my radiator was not working so it was a tad cold. The shower oscillated between freezing cold and burning hot, but otherwise the bathroom was above expectations. Overall, I would certainly return.

It was a welcome stop off after driving the North Coast 500. The hotel was full of old world charm and there had been efforts to modernise and refurbish the bedrooms. We had a comfortable room with clean en suite. The service was good as was the food. Lovely walk near the hotel to the Big Burn Falls. All in all a pleasant and comfortable stay.

very attentive and kind staff. beautiful food and wine. location is very pretty

Stayed at the Golspie Inn on 9/19/23. Cute property, rooms modernized. All good ends there. Staff consisted of 2 very young people overwhelmed with a handful of customers between the bar and restaurant. There was a line forming for the “manager” as the rooms were freezing. No explanation, apology, or words of any kind were offered as she robotically retrieved space heaters to thrust at customers. So glad I was 2nd in line, doubt there were enough heaters to go around. As this is a very old Inn, I was anxious that the wiring was not up to the extra demand of space heaters but, luckily, it was up-to-task. To bad their furnace and staff were not.

This hotel was chosen for it's proximity to Dunrobin Castle and it looked like it would be a lovely property. Unfortunately it fell short, the service being the main issue. On arrival at reception we were ignored by a member of staff who was carrying plates to the dining room. After a few minutes another waitress came out to reception. We said we were there to check-in, she said she didn't know how to use the computer but would get her colleague. The server who had been previously carrying the plates came to our assistance, looking harrassed. We were shown to our room, after being told that if we left the hotel we were to leave our key at reception (have never before encountered this procedure) and the hotel doors would be locked at 10pm, effectively locking us into the hotel, another highly unusual procedure. Upon entering our room we discovered the floor was on a decidedly noticeable slant. I realise the building is over 200 years old but it made the bed heads slope towards the wall, making them quite uncomfortable. We went downstairs for dinner and encountered the young server once again. After not being given menus we fetched them ourselves. She came to take a drinks order, however then said she wasn't old enough to serve alcohol. Her colleague was nowhere to be seen. After another 10 mins we decided to find dinner elsewhere. The server at breakfast was much better but clearly the place is understaffed and the staff are undertrained, owners obviously trying to cut corners

It looks very much as if the owner is struggling financially. A obvious lack of outside maintenance. My en suite room was good, but very cold. Food acceptable. In all honesty I could not recommend a stay there. Sorry.

Nice comfortable rooms, friendly staff and lovely meal for dinner. Fabulous full breakfast as well. Nearby attractions easy to get too.

Checkin and checkout were both excellent, as were the staff without exception. The evening meal was excellent, as was the cooked breakfast. Perhaps the continental lacked fruit however. The stairs would have been safer with better lighting. Otherwise excellent say 9.5/10

Fantastic place with great inviting and friendly staff, if you are staying to visit the dunrobin castle HIGHLY RECOMMEND
