The shower intermittently went from normal to scalding without warning so my young children got scalded by it. The breakfast were not good, the food was overcooked and even when we came down early for breakfast one of the days(07:30) the food was already dried out. The buffet breakfasts at premier inn and travel lodge is way better than your breakfast , I would expect a lot better from you since you are charging a premium for staying there ( plus having to pay extra for the breakfast) I have been in the hospitality business for over 32 years, so I know there is no excuse for these things.

Stayed at Highland Hotel. Breakfast good, full range of food and on a par with most hotels. Rooms bit dated but clean and tidy. Pool joined on to this hotel and is excellent. Caters for all ages.We were hesitant after reading reviews on this hotel but don’t let them put you off. Not a 5* but good central base for exploring the area.

Have stayed at the Macdonald resort often and have always been thoroughly happy with our rooms This time I was disappointed with the room we were booked into. Though it was clean and functional it was very old fashioned. and felt as if the area we were in was more like staff quarters.

Stay at the McDonalds highlands
It was a really nice stay but I felt that things had gone downhill a little bit from the last time. The food was like warm in the restaurant (particularly at breakfast) and the hotel is starting to need a bit of an upgrade with regards to decor. The staff were very friendly particularly the reception staff and where the hotel is is very lovely. I felt we were shoved in a room though that had absolutely no view of anything other than a wall which was very disappointing considering how expensive it was.
