Pros:

Location was awesome, parking was great. Dog friendly.

Cons:

They were short staffed, but they were doing all they could to accommodate guests. Unfortunately the rooms we had did not have the loch view, yet cost the same.

Too short staffed The staff they have working for them deserve a medal they work so hard and keep smiling even though th
Pros:

We stayed 2 nights The young staff work extremely hard as it is obvious they are really understaffed to do the amount of work they are expected to do. We never saw the owner once during our visit

Cons:

Breakfast took far too long Again due to only one person serving when the restaurant was full of both guests and outside clientele

Bit disappointing, though situation could not be bettered.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Situation idyllic.

Cons:

Room miniscule! Food not as good or varied as I have had at this hotel in the past. Prices also gone up more than expected.

Relaxing
Pros:

The location is stunning. We only paid for a room and no breakfast. We have stayed here before. The hotel is dated but the location and staff are fantastic. It's a really authentic laid back just relax hotel. It faces the loch so you have amazing views. We were on a car run from Inverness and having been in the region many times and our son marrying in Loch Torridon we know the area well. Switch your phone off ...sit on the benches overlooking the loch ...stay at a hotel which makes no demands and enjoy.

Our favorite Inn in Scotland Highlands and Islands!
Pros:

We stayed in several places in Scotland, this was the best for all three staff welcome and friendliness, breakfast and comfortable beds! This was a perfect spot for exploring the area. It was also a lovely active spot for both tourists, like us, and locals.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like. It is an older building, as expected, but the room perfectly updated and comfortable, complete with warm towel rack to dry our damp clothes after a rainy hike!
