Pros:

I like the fact that we have stayed at the Ben Wyvis Hotel many times and can relax knowing the staff are always the most friendly and welcoming. We are a family of 3 adults a child and a dog and would'nt dream of staying anywhere else. It's also within easy reach of so many areas and attractions.
