Newhall Mains

We returned to Newhall Mains to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had visited a few times before and we knew that the quality and service would make our celebration very special. And in fact this visit exceeded our already high expectations. From the moment we arrived we were treated with exceptional warmth by staff who paid close attention to making our stay absolutely first class. Euan and Chris and the staff team had taken particularly good care to provide a level of service that was superlative. Our accommodation was fabulous - tasteful, comfortable, spotless and abounding in attention to detail and meticulous design. One highlight was the cocktails enjoyed in the courtyard beside a wood-burning fire pit - such a welcoming atmosphere. Everyone was charming and attentive, and showed a strong commitment to the friendly yet knowledgable ethos that Newhall Mains cultivates. We had a wonderful evening meal cooked by guest chef Paul Tamburrini - it was simply fabulous. Breakfasts were a delight: informal, tasteful, healthy and generous. We cannot commend Newhall Mains enough. We have been visiting the Black Isle for many years because we believe it is a beautiful, magical place and now that it has a hotel of this supreme calibre, that magic is complete.

Absolutely lovely. Understated luxury with a warm and friendly team of staff. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay there and can't wait to go back!

Excellent food. Caring and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Whole property was clean and smart. Super bedroom. Plenty of things to do in the surrounding area and at the hotel. Convenient for the Inverness/Tain/Dornoch/Loch Ness area. We will return regularly

Super friendly staff-great innovative lunch - difficult to better- perfect position- can see all is well thought out.

Just wrapped up a lovely girls weekend at Newhall Mains. The staff was wonderful (Ruth was especially helpful!) and the hotel itself is just gorgeous. Comfy beds, soft linens, beautiful scenery, and their very own highland cows! We had a fantastic Continental breakfast every day and a really delicious dinner one night in the restaurant. There's a ton to do in the area and the hotel provides free use of some e bikes. It's a short 30 minute drive to Inverness if you want some city time too. Very highly recommend them! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Came for a special birthday dinner, bed and breakfast. A beautiful, peaceful spot, the hotel and its grounds immaculate, the room very comfortable and clean with a super-cosy bed, though I would have liked the option of a firm pillow. I also expected more upmarket toiletries in a 5 star hotel and maybe a choice of herbal teas, but these are suggestions rather than complaints. The public areas are exceptionally stylish, with some very good paintings by Scottish artists on the walls. Lovely cocktail bar and restaurant, with huge windows looking out over the surrounding countryside. The continental buffet breakfast was delicious with a great choice. Dinner wasn’t exceptional considering the prices, but enjoyable enough. However, the staff were outstanding, friendly, attentive and welcoming. We live locally so will certainly come back, and book the sauna next time!
