Breakfast very good , lots of freebies in the rooms, personal very kind, poor hair dryer quality , truly mountain scottish hotel , great restaurants nearby
We used this hotel as a place to sleep for which it was excellent.
About 10 to 15 minute walk from the station which for us was great (when not raining).
We didn't have breakfast only because we prefer to sample local cafés of which there are a few very close.
Room was quirky but clean. Parking was easy and free. Check in was a little wonky as reception was a little hidden. The walls are suuuper thin. The bed was comfy and the shower hot.
We would’ve loved a bath but that’s just personal preference.
Parking was good as we had spaces outside our apartment.
Rooms were clean. Shower was pretty weak pressure wise which wasn’t ideal but the shower area itself was a big area.
Staff were very welcoming! The hotel was very clean, nice decor. A good selection of complimentary snacks were in the room. There was renovations going on but this did not have a negative impact on the stay. I would definitely stay here again.
Room was clean & big. The bathroom situation was weird, the shower was so small & water got everywhere. However, overall it was good. Easy to walk to shops & restaurants. Not very many parking spots available.
Lovely clean spacious room with good facilities & a comfortable bed. The staff were fantastic & kindly treated us to a bottle of prosecco for my wife's birthday as a surprise treat.
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff did a great job making us feel welcomed and making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. It was a short walk to a great selection of restaurants and bars (pubs). We had a great stay at this hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was comfortable. The staff were courteous and welcoming. It was disappointing that there wasn’t a cooked breakfast on offer but understandable as the refurbishment is ongoing.
