Richmond Hotel

A beautiful small Victorian hotel. A little tricky to find as the hotel had changed names. Free parking is available. We only had one night and without breakfast. The room had a heater and the en-suite bathroom was fine. Tea and coffee were also available. The hotel had two nice lounges, one with a billiards table and one with a bar. The owners were very friendly and had a good knowledge of the local area. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Food was not even good to be nice. The Scottish owner was really cheerful but the wife who's a mauritian was not friendly at all, not even a HI, and the food was made and freezed. No flavoured, Roti was like Frisbee. Fish was so dry and tasteless. The owner said it himself, that the food was made by the mother in law before she traveled 3 weeks before we got there. So picture that. We had baby food. So disappointed. Whatever good feedback is here is obviously friends' feedback.

Great old building 1885 hosts we’re very obliging and nothing was to much trouble breakfast is extra cooked or cereal and toast everything was clean and tidy room was big settee table and chairs has still got all the characters as when it was built they haven’t modernised it so a plus from me beautiful cornice all decorated to old style bed was comfy heating if needed hot water kettle in room on suite great stay if you like old buildings this is the place if you want the ritz stay in London

Not what we we expecting, we had booked The Richmond Hotel and turned up and found The Crystal Hotel. The large unicorn in the window should have given us a clue. On entry you are met with a reception desk and a lounge room off to each side of the hall. No sign of a bar or restaurant as advertised so we ate out. Bedroom was compact but the bed comfortable for the time we were there. Would I go again No, but only due to crystals and therapy retreats aren't my thing.

Checked in. Went to the room. Turned round and left saying goodbye to my £160 prepayment. That should say it all but I have to do 200 characters. The cobweb’s and dead spiders on the inside of the windows should give an indication of the standard.

We’ve stayed here numerous times and it never disappoints! Phil and Sarina are wonderful hosts. The food is varied and freshly prepared. The hotel’s location in beautiful Strathpeffer is perfect for a walkabout in the village. We’ve become friends with many locals and feel right at home when here!
