Parking was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was dated with very small bathroom and shower cubicle, but the shower itself was great. Dinner was very good. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choices in the buffet. Bowl of natural yoghurt along with 7 bowls of fresh fruit to choose from!

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.
