We thought the hotel was lovely. Spotlessly clean inside, the rooms were very well equipped apart from the shockingly poor non steam iron in the room. The bed was super comfortable and all of the staff were incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was super welcoming and friendly and helpful. All of the food we had during our stay was lovely . Generous meals sizes and wonderfully prepared. The hotels is well managed and maintained and run by a wonderful team . I highly recommend this place to stay, you wont be disappointed. We will defo come to stay again .next time for longer. Thank you so much for making our time in Scotland so special .

Clean comfortable rooms, great atmosphere with fantastic staff. Good choice of food, with specials most nights. Kitchen was flexible in providing early breakfast outside normal hours at the weekend when we had an early start to our activities for the day.

Some of the staff are amazing, such as the young lady serving the breakfast, and the one checked me in. However, my second morning’s breakfast was not served in a best way it could’ve. This property has great deal of potential; it’s like a place that was 4-star at some point in the past. The room was cozy, although small. There was fake eyelashes next to the toilet, and lots of hairs on the bed cover. I had dinner with them once, and the food was really good. Parking was pretty convenient, too.

This is a little gem within a quite remote part of Scotland. If you're vegan, as I am, then this little hotel caters for you, even offering a vegan/veggie menu in the inhouse restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable, rooms are comfortable and clean and it's clear that someone has put some thought into the facilities of the room and what a guest may require. The breakfast was great too. The only downside was the bedding. There are no duvets, just thin sheets and a blanket. There was a spare blanket in the room, but it still doesn't beat the comfort and practicableness of a duvet, in my opinion. It was a little chilly and the radiator wasn't on. A duvet is a a definite must in any accommodation these days, I would suggest. I travel a lot and put this hotel up there as one of my favourites. I will be back.

I stayed here for just 1 night while travelling for work. Booked because of the great reviews however I didn't realise most are for the restaurant, which I can't comment on, rather than the hotel. I'll start with the positives. The staff were lovely, so helpful and friendly and the location was good for my travels. Parking was easy and free. Room was a good size with ensuite bathroom and tea & coffee making facilities. The negatives. The room was freezing. No quilt on the bed, just a top sheet, blanket and thin throw but they had thankfully provided a hot water bottle. Although the bedding seemed to be fresh the towels did not. They smelt musty and one of them was filthy with a horrible brown stain on which I didn't investigate too closely. The room and the whole hotel smelt of cooking oil. Now I know I've got a strong sense of smell and that downstairs is a restaurant but I've stayed in hotels like this before and never known anything like this. It was really overpowering. Breakfast cold selection was nice but basic. Just one small table with a cereal selection, some fruit, yogurt and juice. Cooked breakfast were available to order and were lovely although the portion sizes were quite small. I chose just to have the bacon, eggs and tomato from the full Scottish breakfast. Normally when you drop a few items they increase the quantity of the others but no I literally got 1 slice of bacon, 1 egg and half a tomato. Again though the staff were lovely.
