Gute Unterkunft für Durchfahrt mit Pub und sehr gutem Pubfood
Pros:

Schönes Zimmer im Schottischen Look. Gute Lage für einen Reisebeginn in die Highlands. Schönes kleines Dörfchen und das Hotel ist über einem tollen Pub in welchem wir auch ein sehr gutes Abendessen hatten.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer war nicht so sauber und die Duschbrause fast komplett ohne Druck so dass lange Haare Waschen keine Option war. Auch das Spülbecken im Bad ist in die Jahre gekommen und Tapeten an der Wand im Schlafzimmer lösen sich. Schade wird es nicht besser gepflegt und in Stand gehalten. Badezimmer könnten ein bisschen renoviert werden mit einfachsten Armaturen wäre da viel zu machen.

Wir waren 2x im gleichen Hotel bei Hin- und Rückreise. Beim 2. Mal Frühstück hatte die Bedienung uns richtig gestresst das wir vorwärts machen und hat das Buffet eine Viertelstunde vor der angegebenen Schliessungszeit komplett abgeräumt. Das war schade weil wir uns so nicht so wohl fühlten.

Voor 1 nacht oké, maar meer ook niet.
Pros:

De knusheid van de kamers. Het ademde een stukje geschiedenis.
We waren op doorreis, dit was een prima onderkomen voor een nacht. Maar ook niet langer.

Cons:

Er mag nog wel het één en 't ander aan renovatie gebeuren. En dan met name geluidsisolatie.
We gingen nog wat drinken nadat we waren gearriveerd. De jongere serveerster was niet vriendelijk. De muziek stond hard en het was er koud.
De volgende dag bij het ontbijt zat ik amper toen ik al moest beslissen wat ik voor 'breakfast' wou. Ik had niet eens op de kaart kunnen kijken!! We vroegen of we even rustig de tijd mochten krijgen, dit mocht, maar niet te lang. Nadat we ons ontbijt hadden ging de oudere medewerkster achter ons staan en bleef mij de hele tijd recht aanstaren. Ik heb mij nog nooit zo ongemakkelijk gevoeld in een hotel als hier. Heel bizar. Mijn dochter heeft zelfs gevraagd of we wat privacy mochten. We durfden niet eens te zeggen dat de flesjes tomatenketchup, die op tafel stonden, al een jaar over de houdbaarheidsdatum heen waren. Misschien dat de medewerkster zich daar beter mee kan bezig houden. We zijn met een onprettig gevoel weg gegaan. Gelukkig hebben we voor de komende nachten een ander verblijf in Onich. Hier voelen we ons meer dan welkom!!!
