Great Room, Confusing Check in
The check in is SO confusing. We checked in at the castle up the road. They stated we were in the cottage so we went to the cottage which did not have our room number. We went back to the castle and they finally told us to go to the pub and the room was above it. Great room, 2 bathrooms!

Excellent room and price on way to Skye
Initial problem with check in very happily resolved. We stayed in room 6 and were extremely happy with the spacious room and facilities, very, very comfortable and relaxing. Especially as we had our dog - bed and feed bowls provided. Eating in the Factors Inn below was an added treat, and we eould cerrsinly recommend. You should be aware of where to pick key up, and no breakfast where you stay, and rooms upstairs, but dont be put off as it is quite a gem in its own right.

The room was nice. My problem was the check in process. Our room was not ready on time. Once it was ready, the receptionist was going to drive down to the cottage in a golf cart but decided not to. Her directions were not very good and we had difficulty finding our room. There are 2cottages and they do not have the room numbers on the outside. Our key did not work well in the cottage where our room was, so we thought we were in the wrong spot. My husband finally got the door open and we found our room.

Our room was well decorated and spacious. It was very quiet at the Inn. We felt like we were the only people staying at the Inn. Factors Inn is very close to Fort William where we had dinner and did some souvenir shopping.

Factors is a two star operation
Ok, shower was terrible, little gnats in bathroom, sofa cushions in sitting area need to be replaced. Interlochy Castle tries to run it remotely, and basically it does not work. Tha staff at the castle and those we dealt at Factors for dinner were top notch.

Lovely, elegant alternative to staying in the castle. The pub on the first floor was perfect- food and drink excellent and wait staff catered to our every need!

Perfectly respectable
It was what we were expecting which was good. It was simple and clean/tidy. Decor was dated but we did expect this being rated a 3 star anyway. Nice extra of 2 dogs bowls and mat in the room ready for our small dog. Just a shame that dogs aren't allowed in the main hotel to have breakfast so we chose to not have breakfast there, otherwise we would have.

There are no staff members at the Factor Inn, you have to check in at a larger hotel up the road and come back. Breakfast was not included even though it said it would be which makes the property overpriced.

2/10 Poor

Disappointing
Check in was horrible. First, you have to go back and check in at the Castle. There are NO perks. They show food and restaurant in the website and there is NONE. You can go to breakfast back at the Castle for 38pounds each. We asked about dinner for the 2 nights we would be there and they were booked solid (my fault). We wanted to sit outside and have a glass of wine and there was not a table or a chair anywhere. It was just a very disappointing experience. We stayed the next 2 nights at the Inch Hotel in Fort Augustus. It was awesome. Apparently, they are part of the same hotel group and they were very upset at our report when we were talking to them about it. We found a little place at the golf course 5 minutes away... The Caddy Shack. It was fantastic. Great bar, sweet people and good food. We went to dinner there twice and breakfast once. They told us that the restaurant at the Inn has been closed since before COVID. It seems the website could be easily updated to reflect the current situation. I will never book the Factor again.

Lovely room - very spacious and easy parking. Only downsides were that the room was a bit musty smelling, one of the blinds wouldn’t close properly, and check-in was up at the castle which is a reasonable distance away over poorly maintained roads.

2/10 Poor

Such a disappointing experience
1. Inaccurate information of wifi name and password on the guest sheet and binder—2 incorrect wifi names that no longer exist 2. Unknowledgeable staff—had no idea what their own wifi name and password were 3. Irresponsible manager—asked me to check if the light was on the wifi router which is placed in the hallway, instead of checking up on it herself or sending someone to do it. I went and checked it anyways and told her the light was on. Again, no attempt was made to come to the site and check what was wrong. Instead, she said there was nothing she could do but calling an engineer who can come in the next morning since it was after 5pm (it was just after 5pm, meaning no internet service in my room for at least 15hrs). And she said there won’t be any compensation because wifi is an “outside provider” and the hotel is not responsible for it. 4. Unsanitary room—hair in the bath tub, a brown stain on the towel, blood on the wall, and a disgustingly dirty kettle + a HUGE spider under the sheet. 5. No reception in the building—Factor’s Inn & Cottage is operated by another hotel. You need to make a 15min round trip (or more if you have luggages or backpacks to carry) to the Inverlochy Castle Hotel which is a 5-star, fancy place. Probably another reason why staff is unknowledgeable and the manager is so rude, busy taking care of her own “luxury hotel” guests. 6. You need go to this hotel to check-in and pick up a room key yourself, so please be aware if you are a backpacker!
