Ottimo
Pros:

Lo staff è molto disponibile: cordiali e davvero gentili con noi. Abbiamo anche apprezzato il fatto che ci hanno chiamato un taxi in pochi minuti. La location è a circa 15 minuti dall’ aeroporto e a pochi passi si trova la fermata dell’autobus e quella del treno per raggiungere Inverness e l’aeroporto.

Cons:

Nulla

Déception relative
Pros:

Établissement aux chambres vieillottes mais très propres. La localisation, le long d une grand route, rend les chambres assez bruyantes. Le parking est relativement petit et nous n avons pu nous y garer en raison du manque de place mais nous avons trouvé dans la rue. Enfin le petit déjeuner n'étant pas servi avant 8 h nous ne l avons pas testé
