Firstly, the public areas are beautifully decorated and the staff are lovely. The room didn't feel luxurious but it did feel very pleasant. Outside, the property is minimal and quite understated. It didn't feel like Scotland however, and could have been a nice hotel in the Cotswolds. It had quite a Cotswold feel about it. There is a bar and a seating area but that's really it. There isn't a spa or games room or other facilities. I think you can go cycling and on a small plane so that's fun although we didn't have time to try either. The food was similar. Very nice but not really wow, which I was expecting for £500 room and dinner (we don't drink) for one night. Parking is great and they are dog friendly. It was nice, but not amazing. It was a little like Soho Farmhouse without the spa or swimming pool or gym classes, boating, tennis, shops, restaurants, lakes, etc. Mind you, I find that place a bit much at times but the service is always next level.

The breakfast isn't ideal. If you are looking for an English or Scottish slap up breakfast, you won't find it here. There are boiled eggs however. We asked for help in planning to get to the islands but it wasn't really forthcoming. Other than that, there's nothing not to like, really....

I don't think I've ever written a perfect review, but Newhall Mains was incredible and so reasonably priced for the services. Beds: Comfy, clean and high quality Staff: I could go on and on, felt like old friends right out of the gate. Attentive, professional and friendly. Chris, Iona and JD were so kind and friendly. Activities: Pilot Euan made the flight work and it was right when we arrived. He pointed out everything we saw and catered the flight to what I was interested in - i.e. castles, villages. The staff told us where to go and how to get there to avoid lines, traffic and tourists Location/Property: It is private and remote and if you are looking for a chill, relaxing time, this is the place. The property is stunning, green and so pristine. As you can tell, I would HIGHLY recommend Newhall Mains to anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate stay.

nothing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Newhall Mains. The ambiance was peaceful and elegant, making us feel right at home. The luxurious fabrics and furniture added a stylish touch to the overall atmosphere. The service we received was friendly and excellent, ensuring that all our needs were met. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the outstanding food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving us craving for more. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly impressed us. The comfort of the beds was exceptional, allowing us to get a good night's sleep. Upon entering our room, we were greeted with beautiful classical music playing softly in the background, creating a soothing and relaxing environment. Unfortunately, we arrived with the flu and had to cancel our pre-booked dinner at the resident restaurant. However, the staff at Newhall Mains were incredibly understanding and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They prepared a delicious onion soup for us to enjoy in our rooms, along with a comforting Hot Toddy to help us feel better. Their thoughtfulness and care made a significant difference in our overall experience. We are already looking forward to returning to Newhall Mains in the future. It is a place that truly exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable stay.

Location excellent for travel in the fascinating [history, landscape & seascape, wildlife] local area, also to Wester Ross & its coast, the Far North & exploring Loch Ness side to the south Staff super; hospitable, kind, informative Inspiring stay overall

There was nothing we did not like NM is a boutique, very comfortable hotel in a rural setting Staying there is rather like visiting family. It's important to set expectations of dining options in this context [food yummy, choice understandably small]

Missed option of cooked breakfast but was happy with the offered continental

No facility for my wife to do her make up and near an electric supply Lack of storage/hanging area for clothing, if we’re staying more than one night we would be living out of our suitcases

This is one of the best places we have ever stayed! Classy, comfortable and beautiful inside and out, Euan and the team did an exceptional job in really making us feel welcome. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable. Dinner was delicious and breakfast fresh and well-executed. I highly recommend a Negroni after dinner!

Nothing - we wished we could’ve stayed longer!

Simply fabulous. The staff are exceptional from the second you arrive to the moment you leave. The rooms are beautifully presented. The restaurant offers a stunning choice of local produce. The wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced. The bar is well stocked with extensive gin and whiskey lists.

We liked so much the building, the position, The environment.. the structure..

I would expected to find some more few details that you expected when you’ll go in a 5 stars hotels, such as for example the amenities you’ll find in the room that usually are complementary.. but overall we are satisfy

The property was phenomenal! Beautiful location. Beautiful decoration. Food was delicious. Staff very helpful and friendly. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Inverness area. Great location to Dunrobin Castle and Glenmorangie Distillery.

Nothing not to like. Place was amazing! Couldn't recommend it more.

We were a family of 6 and I can't stress enough just how beautiful the whole estate is. The lodge we were in has been tastefully and carefully restored perfectly. Thee living room is built around a log burner that felt extra cosy in the cold winter night! The beds were comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, glasses, pots etc. I'd certainly recommend New Hall Main to anybody looking for a slice of luxury, in a gorgeous part of the world.

While almost everything was perfect, i have to say that I think the breakfasts need beefing up a little bit. A full Scottish breakfast needs to be a plate full and has to have some haggis, maybe even some hashbrowns/potato scones and some beans. The plates felt a little empty for my liking (but this could also be because I eat like a pig :D)
