Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but being right above the bar led to some noise at times. The service was excellent, with the staff being very helpful and attentive. The location was great for my needs, although the hotel's decor felt a bit outdated. The dining was good but had some temperature issues with the food. Overall, a nice stay with a few drawbacks.
I was initially charged for the room in the annexe but was moved due to noise issues, which turned out to be a positive change. The room had a slight leak from the shower tray, but the fantastic water pressure and perfect temperature made up for it. The toilet was well-stocked with soaps and essentials.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, warm, and welcoming, although they were located in an annex at the back of the main hotel. The staff was mostly pleasant and friendly, making my experience enjoyable. The location was excellent to use as a base to tour the Highlands of Scotland, and the dining options were good, although it had its ups and downs. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
