Stop Off
A very warm welcome. The hotel is in a beautiful location but is a bit tired. However it is gradually being refurbished. Our room was very comfortable and warm. Breakfast was excellent with everything freshly cooked. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your positive review, Rhona. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! We have made excellent progress on the renovations in our relatively short time at Navidale House - and much more work is planned for the quieter winter months ahead. Many thanks, Darren

Location near the sea
Owners are working hard to upgrade the facility. Very friendly and nothing was a problem. Nice breakfast, but there is an extra fee.

Thank you for the positive review, Barbara. If you book a bed & breakfast rate, there is no charge for breakfast. However, you booked a room-only rate and then decided you’d like to have breakfast with us, as such there was a charge. Many thanks, Darren

Not as good as our last stay. Combination of no longer having breakfast included in the room rate seems to be a mistake from the owners. Price point equivalent adds an ok breakfast at the same overall price so adds value when dining out options are limited locally. Service was a bit unique and not representative of previous visit just a few weeks ago. Would implore the owners to revisit their model as we wouldn't stay here and pay a premium for an albeit great breakfast again when we are only looking for a bed for the night and can pay half the price to stay elsewhere. Shame, as our last trip was great, but we won't be back. Give them a go though and I'm sure you will enjoy the place. Despite its age the owners are slowly refurbing and refreshing which gives it great charm but if you are price focused, broaden your search area.

Hi David, I think there has been a big misunderstanding here - we have not changed our pricing or breakfast policy since your last visit. We have always offered a 'room only' rate and a 'bed and breakfast' rate - in fact, booking websites such as this negatively affect us if we do not offer these different rate plans. If guests know they do not want breakfast, it is entirely unfair to charge a 'one size fits all' room rate in which they are paying for breakfast. The only difference between your last visit and this most recent visit, was you selected the room only rate this time. Of course, if somebody has booked a room only rate and wants to add on breakfast, there is a charge for this. I'm sure you don't expect us to offer free breakfast to those that have specifically chosen a cheaper room rate that doesn't include breakfast.It does seem unfair that we're being marked down heavily here for an issue that we could have done nothing to prevent - we cannot select your room rate for you. And it's certainly a shame that you have said you won't be back because of this.All the best,Darren

Perfect location and friendly 'host'. Recently been taken over and will improve further. Room fine with beautiful views. Host gave excellent advice on what to see and where to go locally. Good friendly atmosphere in the bar. Breakfasts really good and suitable menu range of dinners. Would not hesitate in recommending it and we shall return next time we are in the vicinity. John Hall

Friendly new hosts, worth a stay
Stayed here at start of NC500 trip. Hosts made us most welcome and were super friendly. The views were excellent and room was nice. It snowed whilst we were there so it was a little cold in common areas. The hosts have recently taken over and are working hard to modernise. We will stay again. Enjoyed a pint in the cosy bar in front of the fire.

I loved this hotel
This was a bit of a random booking, not really knowing what to expect, because the price was extremely reasonable. It was a big rambling old house with phenomenal sea views, sort of country house grandeur but without the formality. It’s a long time since anyone has taken the trouble to show me to my (lovely) room in a hotel, and be genuinely friendly and communicative - just as though I was a personal guest whose arrival they had been looking forward to. The place was stuffed with interesting items that hung together and created a sort of prewar atmosphere - I expected to see Mrs Bridges scuttling down the stairs but actually there were just a few people in the bar who obviously also felt it was home. There were roaring fires despite its being August, deer in the garden and no one looking for payment even as I left the next day. I would love to go again but fear I probably won’t have cause. Go for me and have a sweet sherry in the bar. I wished I had.

Fairly typical old Scottish house hotel that has bags of character but is showing its age in many ways eg plumbing, Bed very soft - not good if you have any back problems.
