Very comfortable beds, loved the decoration of the room and very clean. Breakfast was excellent , just make sure to order it before 9pm, I barely made it!
Place had its own parking lot so that also helped in my case.

Un joli B&B à 15 minutes du centre à pied
Parking sur place. B&B joliment décoré. Chambre confortable mais plutôt petite. Lavabo très étroit pas très pratique.
Emplacement un peu excentré mais le centre reste accessible en 15 minutes à pied. Personnel sympathique qui faisait de tout leur mieux pour assurer le PDJ malgré l’absence inopinée du chef.

Charming, Cozy, and Convenient
Aye Stay was just a short walk from the city center. The rooms were beautifully updated without losing any charm. It was chock full of character highlighting the Highlands and Scottish character. They offer pre-ordered breakfast for guests in the morning, which was a perfect start to our day.
