Pros:

This hotel is in a perfect spot just off the motorway in lovely countryside. The staff are excellent. We had only booked an hour before and asked for dinner, despite being fully booked with a large celebration group they fitted us in. The service was excellent, the food was superb and we would never have known they were under pressure. It really shows that the quality of this family run hotel. We have stayed here before and will again.

Cons:

Nothing

A pleasant and comfortable stay for a very reasonable price.
Pros:

Breakfast was good.
I paid for a single room but was given a double.
Staff were very pleasant.

Cons:

Breakfast was on the expensive side.
The attic room I stayed in had a velux window which had a blind but it did not really block the light.

We enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

We stayed a night here on the way to Fort William. The hotel was comfortable and friendly and the staff welcomed us and our dog. We enjoyed the meals and it was convenient that there was a bar. There is a lovely nature reserve a 10 minute walk away.
