Charmant en comfortabel slaaphotel - wel duur
Pros:

Charmant hotel op toplocatie, proper en comfortabel.
Uitstekende bedden.
Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel
Prachtig tuinterras gelegen aan de Loch Linnhe

Cons:

Diner was uitzonderlijk duur en niet bijster lekker * Je kan beter gaan eten in restaurant “The Pier”, dat biedt een uitstekend visrestaurant op 500 meter wandelen en de prijs is correct.
* Concreet 2 taaie steaks frites, met twee pilsjes voor 150£… 180 € ligt zwaar op de maag

Very quiet location, pleasant staff but rooms could use some TLC.
Pros:

Very quiet location, extremely helpful and friendly staff.
Nice dinner and breakfast.

Cons:

Bathrooms need some maintenance. Broken taps and rotting timbers detracted a little from the experience.
With some TLC this place would be amazing.

Great spot
Pros:

Beautiful room, with incredible views. Delicious breakfast and nice garden to enjoy a drink in.

Cons:

Couple of minor gripes, not a fan of the key code to get in front door throughout stay and a bedroom door had a tempromental lock.
