The Speyside Hotel has reported a significant surge in bookings and a 35% rise in the average room rate, thanks to a major refurbishment and the installation of our ultra-fast and reliable full-fibre network.

Mark Huntley took over ownership of the Speyside Hotel with his partner Lucy in 2021, saying:

“For five years that we’ve been here, we suffered with rubbish broadband that was coming into the hotel. We live in the hotel, and we used to sit there watching the magic wheel go round and round waiting for the TV to catch up with the WiFi.”

Speaking of the hotel’s growing success, he said:

“Guests previously had to use the single communal area to conduct all business and personal internet use as the connection was so poor, but they can now enjoy the privacy of their own rooms to connect to faster full fibre that extends throughout the entire building.”

Of the 7,300 overnight visitors who stay in the 19-bedroom hotel each year, about 3,000 come from overseas, offering a major tourism boost to Grantown-on-Spey.

Mark added:

“Reviews on TripAdvisor and Google have been really strong since we switched to Highland Broadband, and it’s no coincidence that the feedback we get from customers on check-out has become more positive since guests have started benefitting from that reliable ultrafast connection.”

As Scotland’s only dedicated broadband provider with local customer support in the heart of Inverness, we’re proud to deliver the UK’s fastest full-fibre broadband to communities and businesses who’ve previously missed out. Find out how our broadband can help boost your business here.
