"We were trying to stay on a budget (under $70/night) and explored all the hotels in and around Dingwall. Any that were in our price point had ratings of 7.5 or less, and reviews were always complaints about this or that.
We were coming in January and didn’t want ‘no hot water/no heat’; I had a hire car and didn’t want ‘limited parking unavailable; I didn’t want to hear ‘poor WiFi’. So one of the last ons standing was Ben Wyvis and it was one of the least expensive. So we reluctantly took a chance.
Check in was great, parking was plentiful, the room was reasonable in accommodation and plenty warm, and shower was hot. Room was quiet and building had historical charm. We had a lovely view from our northwest facing room. Meals were fine (dinner was a 6.5, breakfast 7.5 out of 10; yes a tad pricey).
I read all the reviews going back 18 months and can only say that whatever truly negative experiences or circumstances are being presented in the reviews I find to be poppycock. I guess the staff or building could have a bad day, but if it did occur it wasn’t our experience at all. Ben Wyvis was a solid choice and without doubt a good deal. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Please note: You’ll need to bring WiFi chargers; pillows are a bit bulky; mattress on the firm side. That is good or bad depending on your taste."
