Oldany Vacation Packages

Upstairs was creepy with dark halls ( lights were motion activated). When getting off the elevator no lights were on and it was off-putting to move into a totally dark area

Whilst the setting of this property was breathtaking, the rooms were a little tired and there didn’t seem to be enough staff for the number of covers at breakfast and dinner. However the bay man of the Robert Burns bar called Anand was exceptional. His cocktails were amazing and he seemed to be the hardest working member of staff.

I did not know it was as far from Inverness as we thought. It is very quiet and would make a great base for Highlands exploration. The staff is very friendly and the food is great. We had a problem due to the distance to Inverness. We went on a tour of Skye in Inverness and due to the length of the trip, we did not get back to the Inn until 1105 at night. The entire inn was locked tight so we had to sleep in our car. The manager was very upset about it the next morning and ensure restitution. He reiterated that this was not normal and should not have happened. I honestly feel this is the case and would wholeheartedly recommend Cluanie Inn to others.

We splurged on one night in this beautiful castle. We arrived with beautiful weather that changed as we watched through long windows, roll over the mountains and loch (the beginning of the blizzard that would shut Scotland down for days). We lounged and drank adult beverages and just breathed. Beautiful, well maintained decor and staff that waits on your every need. This was a huge change from our frugal drive to places that no one goes to in winter in Scotland. And, it reminded me about how much I love my freedom to come and go without respecting the needs of servants. In this day and age where we grouse about the 1%, it was lovely to try it for a night and realize how happy I am in the life I lead. But the food, wow! We borrowed dinner wear (They have it on hand) for the seven course dinner with wine by the glass pairings. Loved the steak tartare, and the cod course, and the salmon under spinach, as well as the duck. The pasta course was pretty to look at, and it was a great idea to “print” pasta with sage. The wine pairings were interesting, ask for a smaller half glass, as you will be having seven or eight wines with your dinner. But, splurge on this. It is well worth the price. The rooms are real bedchambers with extremely elegant bathrooms. I got up early and floated in the giant tub until every inch was a prune, then donned the fluffy white robe and climbed back into the crisp bed linens for breakfast in bed. What a relaxing way to start the day.
