Always a good welcome

I’ve stayed at the Ben Mhor frequently and found the staff to be really friendly and welcoming. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable, on this occasion I didn’t book the breakfast but have in the past and always enjoyed it. It’s an ideal place to stay if on a budget, it’s location is great for exploring the local area and there’s plenty of opportunities to grab some food outwith the hotel nearby.

Dave is never lost, just an accidental tourist.

This hotel has gone through a major renewal over the past 10+ years. I lived in Grantown-on-Spey for over a decade and I have seen this hotel at its absolute worst. It is now an absolute gem of a local hotel. Conveniently located in the center of the Scottish Highlands making day trips to 4 corners of Scotland quite doable. I know, I have done it!! The breakfast is beautifully Scottish. Well worth starting your day off with a full Scottish breakfast. After a day out being an accidental tourist cause you took a wrong turn and ended up in some cool tiny village that you can’t even pronounce its name for amazing fish and chips and cool locally produced art. You can come back for a meat pie and a pint and enjoy all photos you took while being an accidental tourist. Never lost, just accidental tourism.

Location was fine. Unfortunately we awoke in the middle of the night to a wet bed and bits of plaster. The ceiling above was leaking water. Apparently, they assumed the problem had been fixed. We were moved to another room, but our first night was ruined. Would have been nice to have received a credit for the inconvenience.

The worst stay - it’s only the room above the bar?

Other reviews seemed okay but we had s terrible experience in the room above the bar. Condition of the room, bathroom and surroundings were terrible. Floor was uneven with gaps covered by old carpeting.bathroom shower and sink were laced wirh mold. Window view was towards a flat roof littered with garbage. A bunch of smells were disguised by cleaning deodorants on the halways, the bathroom, luckily the outside air was fresh and we were able to keep the window open, otherwise we would have just left.

The only small issue we had was that our room was quite hot when we arrived (sunny mid-summer day, curtains open, closed window facing the afternoon sun) and there was no aircon or even a fan to help cool it down. Though I suspect that's not often a problem in these parts.

Strange that room 12 didn’t have a number on the door. The bath mat had threads hanging off and the towels were pretty thin. The carpet edge had pieces hanging off. Just a tiny amount of work would totally change the image of the room. My wife’s response when we went into the room was “We are back in Nepal”

The lady on reception was very friendly and check in was quick. Beds were comfy and not cramped (twin). We didn’t eat in the hotel so can’t comment on that side of things.
