A mixed bag

Really stunning surroundings. Rooms and some public areas are very tired. Staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming. Poor food choices and extortionate prices. A pint of Moretti £8.50!! Breakfast was good with variety and quality ingredients and staff coped well with the volume of guests due to the holidays

Slightly disappointed this time!

We have stayed at this hotel several times in recent years. Tinged with slight disappointment! We really enjoy staying at this hotel and the staff are excellent. However, our rooms made us question the price as we felt the rooms were not up to the standard we expected from a five star hotel.

Beautiful surrounding property and views of the sea. The rooms are old and could’ve been cleaner. Went to the spa in the evening to use the facilities and it was extremely dirty and unkept. Didn't even attempt to find the sauna it was so dirty in the locker room which was very unlike other Fairmonts i’ve stayed at.

Great Hotel but there are better 5*’s for sure

Family stay for long weekend. Been many times over the years. Location is super. Having stayed at many competitor hotels such as Cromlix & Cameron House Hotel the attention to detail and service quality is not as good at Fairmont. Dining experiences are also not as good.

We got a studio room and as soon as we walked in we spotted the sofa was covered in dog hair. Unbelievable The porter went and got a cleaner who hoovered it then we were asked to vacate the room while they had another go at cleaning on our time. We got one free drink each for this. I did ask to move rooms but no. I struggle to understand if these rooms are cleaned properly between customers how was this missed? It was covered in dog hair not just a few bits

Gorgeous interior

Hotel was lovely and staff were amazing. Only thing was when we went to our room and opened the fridge to pop some drinks in, it hadn’t been cleaned from whoever was in the night before. There was still a cake lying on the fridge and it had began to go off and go into the rest of the items in the mini bar :( and some of the milk had been used from the previous people - so we had to ask for the fridge to be cleaned and then restocked. Think this should have been done prior to us checking in!
