I love it here, really lovely spot.
Pros:

Best freshly cooked breakfast in the Northern Hemisphere!
The breakfast room itself is a bit lacking in atmosphere - could maybe do with some gentle music to cover up the noise & chit-chat from the kitchen - this can only be heard because of the tranquillity of the location!

Dinner through in the other Restaurant is a bit pricey, but well worth it - always delicious and piping hot.
There's a bar area, and an outdoor seating area which I think might be a recent addition - it looks lovely.

Cons:

I love staying here. The view from the waters edge facing rooms is just so peaceful.
The downside of that is you are roadside, so the 4.30am delivery woke me 🤣
The food and the staff and the Manager Ian absolutely make this place for me, they are so nice & friendly.
What could do with updating/improving are the mattress and most certainly the pillows.
Would I return - yes I would. Even just for the Sticky Toffee Pudding! 🤣

Excellent Meal for 11
Pros:

A group of 11 had dinner and there was nothing but praise for the food and service from all 11.

My starter of scallops was perfectly cooked and the main course of venison could not have been bettered. My only small criticism is that the sweet course could have been smaller!

Pros:

Perfect location with only a short drive to Inverness & a bus that comes straight past. Room was small but very comfortable with amazing view. Food was amazing both dinner & breakfast and we found staff very friendly and welcoming.
