Ok but overpriced, not really a hotel.
Pros:

Beautiful location. Good food.

Cons:

You can't check in until 4pm, which I think is a bit late as you have to check out by 10.30am
Quite a grubby place, hand rail was so sticky and carpets were filthy.
To get to the boot bar you have to go outside, past the kitchen and storage area. The pics promise a selection of Ales but only two avaliable (both dark)
This isn't really a hotel, more of a backpackers hostel. Overpriced at £230 for a night.

Pros:

La parte migliore della struttura è il pub (Boots bar). La posizione è magnifica anche se un po’ scomoda da raggiungere con i mezzi pubblici.

Cons:

La struttura è un po’ datata e la camera un po’ piccola, ma l’atmosfera è comunque magnifica
Il persona del bar gentilissimo, un po’ neo quello dell’albergo. Colazione con una buona scelta al buffet, un po’ meno i menù scozzesi.

Old school pub accommodation at Hilton pricing. Ideal for someone that wants to get hammered and stay. Avoid if you want
Pros:

Location was adjacent to amazing waking tracks. Staff were wonderful and helpful. Breakfast was OK

Cons:

The quality of the room by no means matches the price tag. Basics only, not even a glass for water. HWS sounds like a helicopter when operating.
The most disappointing thing is the noise. No door between pub tables and stairs. We were at the top of stairs and felt like we were in the pub. Difficult to sleep then staff packing up at and of shift was ridiculous. The biggest disappointment of our UK trip so far. The guest is not considered here, you can’t book a table for dinner and breakfast is between 8.15am to 9.30am. You can imagine lots of guests trying to manoeuvre in a tiny area where the food is positioned. I guess this is minimise cost as it doesn’t enhance the service.

Beautiful location, friendly staff and restaurant on site.
Pros:

The location was great. Our first night along the NC500 located close off the road. The views from the property were beautiful.

Cons:

Small room (as expected) with narrow twin beds. Nothing bad, just an observation.
