Kirstie is amazing, she made us feel very at home. She really looked after our son, who has special needs, so we didn’t feel under pressure in the restaurant at meal times.
The refurbished parts of the hotel are excellent, and the pool is lovely.

Room was spacious, warm, big clean and comfy bed.
Warm and clean bathroom and plenty hot water
Room could do with a bit of TLC as there are signs of wear and tear but I’m sure that is on the list of improvements as they are working on the hotel at the moment
Staff were really lovely and welcoming

Venue was very comfortable, clean & warm, but the outstanding feature was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. It’s a beautiful building, though showing some signs of age related heavy use, but this adds to the great character of the hotel. I will have no hesitation in returning.

Very welcoming staff, a lovely pool, nice buffet breakfast.
We had a spacious quiet room, perfect for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
It was an easy walk to the town centre and to the Ness island.
We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Our room was clean and warm. The only thing to mention was the pool area which needs a spruce up especially all the rust that shows. A couple more chairs needed too as there were only two to relax on but fortunately we were the only couple there. The pool was perfect for a swim which we did enjoy.
