Comfortable and friendly
We enjoyed our stay at The Gables Hotel. We were on route to Skye just a one night stay over with evening meal and breakfast. Both meals were very good. As was the atmosphere. Comfortable beds. Great pillows. Clean and tidy. Staff were all really friendly which were house keeping, reception bar & restaurant. Made us feel very well come.

Great little find
Had a one night stay and was really nice. Room was a good size and had kettle with tea/coffee etc We ate in the restaurant and food was well cooked and plenty. The staff were really helpful and they helped my mum who needed a ramp at the front for a wheelchair that they set up for her. Will visit again when up in the area

This hotel is a fantastic dog friendly hotel. The staff gave us and our dog such a warm welcome and were so helpful, friendly and hard working. It was wonderful that we could take our dog into the restaurant and had waitress service in the bar area for breakfast with our dog. The hotel is so conveniently close to the motorway but so quiet, really good for breaking the journey to or from the Scottish Highlands, we highly recommend especially to dog owners.
