Outstanding breakfast and welcoming staff
Pros:

- The breakfast was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared and personally served. It really stood out compared with the rather basic breakfast buffets we experienced in many chain hotels.
- Very friendly and helpful staff who made us feel welcome throughout our stay.
- A great base for exploring the Loch Ness area.
- Spacious and comfortable room.

Cons:

- There was no air conditioning, which made the room quite warm during our stay. Fortunately, a fan was provided in the wardrobe, which helped a lot.
- The bathroom was modern and spacious, but we missed having a handheld shower head, which would have made it more practical 😊

Scozia on the road
Pros:

Hotel, un pochino datato, ad una ventina di minuti da Inverness, in posizione centrale con comodo parcheggio. Stanze ampie e confortevoli, così pure il bagno. Completa la colazione, in parte a buffet e in parte alla carta anche se un pochino carente nel dolce, qualche brioches che non sono state riassortite una volta finite, quindi non tutti siamo riusciti ad averle Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Consiglio di cenare nel ristorante interno aperto fino alle 21.Si mangia bene al giusto prezzo.
