Our twin-bed room is entered from the garden and is not in the hotel itself (an annex attached to the hotel). However, it is very private and well equipped with tv, tea/coffee selection and the best lighting in any hotel I have ever stayed in before! Thumbs up there. Whilst the ensuite is adequate, it has to be said that without a window, it is a little gloomy and dated. We had the opportunity to have dinner at the Cluny and it lived up to its expectations - elegant, sophisticated and very, very good. Thank you Lloyd. Breakfast, too, offered a beautifully cooked meal with fresh fruit and all the trimmings. read less

The food has to be the best myself and my partner have tasted. We've had the Michelin star restaurants in London and they do not even come close to the standard and quality of food served in this restaurant. The chef came out to go through what he had for desserts and went into details of how he made each dessert leaving us wanting to try all of them.
Cannot wait to go back! read less

Absolutely delightful. Nice thick pieces of Salmon. The Brisket (ample portions) was served with potatoes and carrots in a lovely pale ale gravy with onions. We both enjoyed it and would certainly have again. read less

Good Very quiet room and street. Comfy bed. Nice shower and good selection of toiletries. Dairy free very well catered for. Awkward to lie in bed and watch TV, but could move chair round.

Amazing Another visit! Amazing as ever! Welcome, food, cleanliness unsurpassable, nothing ever too much trouble.

I can only say the the quality of the food and the setting is simply superb. All four of us were incredibly impressed with our meals. The choices available from the menu were extensive in terms of variety and we found all our tastes were catered for. The sweets were stunning and we had the usual extensive run down from the chef himself.
I can thoroughly recommend this superb hotel for a special meal out. Simply outstanding. read less

Very good Food, location and friendly staff. Shower was fine but could be more powerful. Just a small point and not a big issue.

Just back after our first meal out after lockdown!

Thanks Julia and Lloyd. A great, fun evening. The food was as good as ever.

Importantly in today’s strange world, it felt safe. Very strange to have waiters and the chef wearing masks. Lots precautions, sanitizer stations, disposable menus, safe distances between tables.

Keep on with the good work, I’m sure you’ll get lots of support. We’ll be back soon. read less

Comfortable bed, large bathroom with tub and shower and the most gracious and fun hosts. Very well located within walking distance of High Street in Forres, a beautiful town central to most things in the Highlands. The restaurant was fabulous. Loved it all.

Beautiful hotel and the food can't possibly explain in words how good the meal was. would recommend Cluny Bank Hotel to friends and family felt welcome from the moment we arrived.

Their attention to the detail to keep their dinners safe was excellent. Social distancing and hygiene was faultless. It felt a very safe environment to relax and enjoy the wonderful cuisine. The FaceTime with the chef to find out about the desserts was a great personal touch. Perfect for an anniversary treat. read less
