Lovely charismatic highland hotel that needs some TLC.
Pros:

Requested twin beds were a large size, room was large and clean. There was playoff free parking and views from room were lovely. Breakfast had a good selection and was good.

Cons:

Decor in room was dated, as was bed linen. Bathroom needed somewhere to hang towels next to shower and somewhere to put things in the shower like a shelf.

Worth a try!
Pros:

The staff were friendly and did everything they could to make us happy. The rooms though not particularly spacious have everything you need. Breakfast included, tho small variety, very tasty.

Cons:

Some rooms need a bit of tlc. Loose shelves wardrobe upgrade to match doors or vice versa.
Food wasn't the best quality but tasty and filled the hole.

Never again! Go somewhere else
Pros:

Location

Cons:

All show and very little substance. No bar snacks available, no decaffeinated coffee in lounge bar, too heavy duvet for a summer night, curtains ineffective, breakfast appeared to be the tepid leftovers from coach parties.
