Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the Cromarty, with its breathtaking views of crashing waves right from my balcony, was an unforgettable experience. The rooms are truly spectacular, though not exactly as pictured. The service was top-notch with kind gestures like returning lost items without charge. The remote and picturesque location made it a standout choice despite limited winter hours. Dining offered a lovely variety of meals and a delightful 5-course dinner, yet there were some slow service issues. Overall, a unique stay with a few minor drawbacks.
Staying at the Cromarty by the working lighthouse was an unforgettable experience. The self-contained 2 bedroom apartment offered spacious comfort with a breathtaking view of the crashing waves just steps away. The location provided total peace and relaxation, though dining had some room for improvement with limited variety at dinner.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean, comfortable rooms offering a stunning view of the lighthouse and the sea. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly welcome and cared for. The location was unique and beautiful, set on a rocky headland with breathtaking views. The dining experience was lovely, with a good variety of meals and exceptional service from a caring chef.
