Pleasant night in the highlands.

A lovely little hotel for a one night stop. Staff were all lovely and friendly. Our room was pleasant, on the ground floor, very clean with a comfortable bed. We ate in for dinner which was very good, good choice, also choice for vegetarians, and the portions were very good. Breakfast was a simple but good buffet. Very happy with our stay.

This was a pleasant stay. Evening meal and breakfast was great. Good value for money. Room was small and needed updating. Our room needed a new matress. Staff were excellent. Would recommend
Darron, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a small town, with beautiful fresh air and countryside a few minutes walk away. The room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was included in the cost of our stay. Anything you could possibly want for breakfast was provided, from fresh fruit, yoghurt and croissants to eggs, bacon, sausage, haggis and blood pudding and others. We were very happy with our stay here.
