It was the only place within miles of where we needed to be for less than £100! Booked it a couple of months in advance (without having visited the hotel before) because it is a popular tourist area.

Compo 10,334 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Take a look at the Trip advisor reviews for the Conon Bridge Hotel, Dingwall, Scotland and see what others said - I've never seen so many bad reviews on one place before. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,914 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Always better to check on a place first. We stayed in a place in Australia years ago and we'd booked for quite a few days. The place was awful so next morning we spent the day looking for an hotel that we liked and was spotless. That was a day less that we could have spent sightseeing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,510 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I know you live in Scotland and I know their reputation for being somewhat parsimonious - but fitting that to your bathroom door might be taking things just a tad too far. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I reckon that The Conon Bridge Hotel would be interested in acquiring that Compo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,544 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 The mention of an RAC man reminded me that a few years ago we were at Mansfield Magistrates Court, fighting a speeding conviction. In the waiting area was a fledging RAC man, a nice young chap, who had picked up 2 speeding tickets in his first week on the job, on the A610 between the ring road and J26. I still wonder if he got off lightly, like my husband did on the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
