Nice clean pub rooms. Small but secure with refurbed bathrooms. Warm and quite comfortable. A pretty standard double bed but still sleep worthy. Staff were very helpful and happy to assist. No lifts as stated but we were able to leave most of our luggage in the car. Dinner is limited as the cook called in sick but there’s a few budget options nearby. Just avoid the kebabs. Great location to visit the Fyrish monument. Value for money this stay.

This gem is a hidden treasure. |Don’t be deceived by the exterior; the rough weather stops as soon as you enter the doors. These rooms are top notch. Warm and comfortable with the usual room teas and coffees. |Don’t miss out on the excellent breakfasts.

During my road trip to Scotland I was craving for the beer and I found this place - this place is very cozy, calm and cool. I sat there for an hour and had wonderful time. Lots of local and international brands were available to choose from. The bartender was a very kind and supportive man. Wonderful place of you love liquor.

Conveniently situated in the centre of Alness, we had a really enjoyable stay at The Commercial Hotel. Despite being at the front of the hotel, we had a quiet night’s sleep in our spotlessly clean and good sized ensuite room. …

Stayed here while WALKING the North Coast 500 to raise awareness for men's mental health and baby loss, The staff are very helpful and friendly, I had shinsplints and the owner was nice enough to buy K tape and leave it in my room for me arriving. The food downstairs was lovely and the room had a good atmosphere. My room had a very comfy bed along with modern amenities including en suite.
