Best BnB you’ll find in the highlands
Pros:

The hotel is best remembered as a BnB that is hosted by what can only be described as everyone’s favourite aunties. The hospitality was like a warm hug from your Nan - fresh cooked eggs for breakfast, homemade pudding for dessert, fresh bickies in your room every afternoon.
