What guests think

Across reviews, Golspie Inn earns praise for friendly, welcoming staff and tasty breakfasts and dinners, and its convenient base near Dunrobin Castle and the NC500, while feedback on rooms, building upkeep, and staffing levels is more mixed.

Rooms range from newly updated and comfortable to small or dated, with recurring comments about cold temperatures, tricky heating, and some traffic noise. Cleanliness is generally good, but several guests reported issues such as mould, cobwebs, and occasionally missed housekeeping. Facilities are simple: the on-site restaurant and bar and easy parking are appreciated, but there is no lift and some stairwell lighting was criticized. Best for travellers comfortable with an older inn that blends character with a few imperfections.

Hotel is very “tired”. Marks on wall where bedheads had been rubbing on wall. Wallpaper peeling under window and cobwebs in the shower. Also a pile of dirty towels left on the floor on arrival. On the up side the food was excellent. Light on stairwell not working and cracked window panes on single glazing windows. Hotel needs a lot of work and would NOT stay again

The team were friendly and welcoming and did all they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We ate in the on-site restaurant and would highly recommend in terms of both quality and value

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

The hotel on arrival looked run down. The bedroom was ok. Bedding was clean. Shower and windows had black mould. And plug in hand basin could have been cleaner. One member is staff (dark hair and glasses) was friendly and helpful. Dinner was awful. Being on the coast I ordered fish & chips. When it arrived the batter was very dark making me wonder was the oil dirty or was it over cooked. However when I cut into it the batter was so thick and uncooked that I had to send it back. The second attempt didn’t look much better and it wasn’t. I scrapped the batter off and attempted the fish which was tasteless. Breakfast was ok although quite greasy.

Expensive for a property of this quality. The single room has an en-suite with a bizarre design, the toilet positioned directly in front of the sink so that it is impossible to stand at it. Overall, an adequate hotel that is more expensive than it should be.

Hotel is well placed on NC500. Spent 2 nights here. Like several other hotels used this showed evidence of recent upgrading and decoration. Food was good and staff friendly. The room was a good size although the en-suite was rather tight for space. No luggage stands provided in room so other furniture was used. EV charging available a short distance away in town car park.

Room and bathroom were very small, the old windows were not to open, the bedroom was to the main road and pretty noisy, the towel warmer worked but the radiator in the bedroom stayed cold and made the room uncomfortable. We had a small dinner which was good and the breakfast with the usual choices.

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.
