What guests think

Reviews of The Priory Hotel describe a centrally located base in Beauly with consistently praised breakfasts and dinners, generally clean and spacious rooms, and a welcoming atmosphere that suits both leisure breaks and Highland road trips.

Many guests highlight helpful, accommodating staff and efficient service, though dinner service can be slow when the restaurant is busy. Drawbacks include dated or tired areas and stained corridor carpets, rooms that run hot with limited ventilation, and mixed parking due to reliance on free on-street spaces. Rooms range from recently refurbished and comfortable to more dated, and a few guests mention variable Wi-Fi. Expect hearty meals, kind service, and a characterful older property.

Property is adequate - similar to an older Holiday Inn or Best Western in the states - parking is free and plentiful - fairly close to Inverness if you have a car

It is a 2 prong sword, we loved the location, the staff were amazing, the hotel is clean but the rooms are sub par. We got a superior room, it is just old and not keep up which is a shame. The other reason it didnt get a great score is the parking or should I say lack of.

The hotel is in an excellent setting with ample free parking close by. Our room was spacious and comfortable but with some aspects requiring attention eg stains on the carpet. All staff were welcoming, efficient and professional and breakfasts were excellent. There was good wifi in the room even though a long way from the main public areas. We enjoyed our stay in the Priory Hotel and would not hesitate to recommend for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

This is a delightful hotel in the centre of Beauly. It is next to Beauly Priory (obviously) with a variety of small shops and cafes right on hand. The room was large, comfortable and very well equipped. The lift was well positioned next to a side door, convenient for loading and unloading.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Priory Hotel. It's a nice, quiet location with a great breakfast included in the rate. However, what I loved the most was the staff. In particular, I want to thank Iren at the front desk again. I arrived at the hotel late at night, and the kitchen was already closed. Out of pure kindness, Iren decided to make me a sandwich herself so I could eat. If that isn't amazing customer service and going the extra mile, I don't know what would be! Great stay, 100% recommended.
