Pros:

The hotel is clean and the bedrooms are spacious. We enjoyed our breakfast which was included and offered cooked options as well as self serve toast, cereal, yoghurt and fruit.
The Bothy bar served delicious meals which we enjoyed on our second night with generous portions.
The staff are welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

The shower offered a poor stream probably because of the age of the hotel, water pressure issues and demand. Even adjusting the shower head made little difference.
