Booked this hotel as a stop off on the way to Ullapool for ferry, the night we stayed was during a weather warning with rain, and lord did it rain, from check in to check out it was great. We left early to catch ferry mainly for any issues on the roads with the rain and snow was expected. so I can't comment on breakfast as we missed it due to weather, but personally I would say its well worth the money, and the bar staff was amazing, my grandson wanted a mars bar what they didn't sell, she came back with a selection box, I will always remember this hotel as its the first place I managed to split the G (if you know you know) overall great stay and I would recommend and I would go back

Great location for local walks with spectacular views. A tip, leave by the hotel's side access and keep walking uphill (road turns into a path between two fields), to the stone maze, then round the hill, and over the 'Cat's back', the views are stunning (wear waterproof boots if it has been wet recently, the path can get muddy and a bit overgrown out of season). The hotel's side exit is a bit hidden but it saves you going down the hotel's drive and back up the road at the side of the hotel. The hotel itself is a nice old hotel building in a beautiful town. The staff were very nice. Next time I might take my mountain bike, it looks like the old railway line to Dingwall is now a several km path.
I was there out of season so not everything was open in town. But in season more than enough just in Strathpeffer for a weekend/long weekend break.

It's a handsome looking hotel inside and out. I arrived late in the evening and after a brief conversation with Jolanta when I said I'd be leaving before breakfast I was offered a packed lunch which was gratefully accepted. When I made my reservation I knew I'd be working late and leaving early so I took no notice of breakfast availability and can't say if it was included in my room rate. I then went up to my room where I was very pleased to see a spacious and well appointed resting place. I'd be happy to return at another time but on a leisure basis to enjoy what the Ben Wyvis has to offer.
Just the noisy guest next door who had a very loud voice when making her phone call!

Beautiful traditional Scottish hotel in spacious grounds surrounded by trees. Excellent à la carte fare in the spacious Dining Room. Open log fire in the main guest sitting area. Room is comfortable and immaculately clean with writing desk, large mirror and plenty of cupboard and drawer space. Large white towels, and ample hot water in the bathroom. Kettle and coffee/tea making facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Would happily book again.
The central heating broke down while I was there, and so the radiators were lukewarm. Since this was known at the time of check-in, and it was the middle of Winter, guests should be pre-emptively offered portable electric heaters to take to their room. I assume this will all be fixed and working by now.

The building itself was beautiful . All rooms in keeping with the building and tastefully done, beautiful grounds and a lively & lovely village. Really comfortable beds. The food was out of this world & honestly the best food we have had in all the hotels we have ever stayed in. All the staff were friendly, helpful, welcoming & nothing was too much trouble. Great knowledge of the area from reception staff. The waitresses/waiters were also very helpful and accomadated to our needs.
I can honestly say there was nothing we didn't like about our stay In our opinion it should be higher than a 3 star

This hotel has been transformed. Four years ago we stayed here and it was truly appalling -so bad that we went into town & bought new duvets just to keep warm in bed! The new owners have redecorated, put in excellent biomass heating, revitalised the way the hotel is run and introduce new staff, all of which which has made it a really pleasant place to stay. I would have no hesitation about recommending this to anyone and we thought it was excellent value for money. The grounds have been cleared and are a pleasure to walk in and the outside of the building has been restored to an extent. We understand from friends in the village that the management of the hotel has made a great effort to integrate in the community, for example, at the time of the coronation, and as other hotels in Strathpeffer are not providing adequate services for the individual traveller , this is now the premium place to stay and deserves the reputation it is rapidly developing.
Our only criticism was that the buffet breakfast provided a selection of fruit, which was all tinned; fresh, fruit, salad, or individual, fresh fruit would have been better, but there was plenty of yoghurt, and a cooked breakfast came quickly and was very good.

The hotel is a grand old dame from the Victorian Spa Era so, despite some now, outdated and tired upgrades it offered a pleasant enough stay. At least it had a little lift and the heater worked as it was a cool night.
The meals were average with the beef sirloin being extremely tough. Impractical bathroom. No soap holder or shelf in the shower and you had to sit askew on the toilet otherwise the heated towel rail burnt your knees.

We had the family room on the far corner of the building, could not have asked for better. The room was nice, spacious, good views and felt very comfortable. The hotel has a great feel to it, old charm while still feeling current and comfortable. Grounds and surrounding areas are stunning. Dinner and breakfast were superb, we had just travelled through Europe staying at 5 different hotels and the breakfast at Ben Wyvis was probably the best of the trip. We travel regularly from Glasgow to Lewis, our previous stopover point had been Inverness... it will now be the Ben Wyvis Hotel, looking forward to returning.

On arrival we felt like we were going to a top class hotel, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, we had a bath rather than just a shower in our room which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
Outside the hotel looked magnificent, inside was slightly dated but still had the wow factor. For the price we paid we had no complaints whatsoever.

Lovely looking building and really nice staff. I got a deal on the price which made it great value but that was only for a single bed and was the cheapest. Breakfast buffet was superb (all sorts of options, eat as much as you want); dinner menu was small but varied and the food was good wholesome and balanced (i.e. plenty of veg and potato, not just rich sauces and fatty meats). Overall it was enjoyable and if I needed to come to the Inverness area in future I would definitely look them up, but for me I love the West of the highlands so this short stay of 2 nights was just a stepping stone. Therefore I wouldn't have wanted to pay much more - but I appreciate that is very subjective. Small bar but good ales such as Coast To Coast. Room with a view was ok but not the most amazing view as it (the mountains) were way in the distance. And the hotel entrance and garden faced the same way anyway. The shower was lovely, even if the bathroom did look very dated (but it was finished well and nothing looked tired, so I'm only talking colour sheme here).
Nothing really other than the subjective things noted already. Maybe the dinner service between courses was a bit too quick, like they wanted you to eat and leave - but not sure it was intentional. Just felt a little rushed. The staff had a great attitude so it might just be they were trying to be efficient. The lounge was a little tired - the sofas felt saggy. Ignoring the deal I got, I would have preferred a double bed and generally a little more space for the money. For example at its foot end (the side of a wardrobe was right at the end) and the wardobe doors opened onto the wall-mounted tv. The window with a view was small and you could only see the view if you stood right at it. Otherwise from the bed there was nothing to see.
