Great location in the centre of town. Well placed for golfers and highland visits. It is a lovely old building which shows its age. In some respects. Staff were fantastic. Comfortable bar and nice restaurant . Food was very good and exceptional value. Breakfast was superb in terms of quality, quantity and service. Dinner menu is limited in choice but food is excellent.
