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.

Clean, good value for money

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.

Raymond, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel. Very friendly staff on reception. Check in smooth. Booked a table for dinner easily. Room was a good size with a big bed. Tea and coffee facilities. Only downside was there was a bath with a shower over. Would prefer a walk in shower. Dinner was excellent and great value for money. Breakfast was good. Hot food could have been better as it was a bit cold. There was some excellent fresh fruit on offer. Would overall recommend
