Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem, offering spacious and exceptionally comfortable rooms with double showers. The attentive service provided by the staff adds a special touch to the stay. While the location is convenient for exploring the Highlands, the dining options are a bit limited. The overall value for money is excellent, making it a top choice for a relaxing getaway.
The service is top-notch with great hospitality, but the dining experience could benefit from more diverse options.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were incredibly comfy with good sized beds and a spacious bathroom featuring a double shower. The complimentary tray was well stocked, making my stay even more pleasant. However, the price could be considered a bit high for the value provided.
