Did the job as an overnight stay, although pillows are flimsy and bad quality and the mattress was like a pancake at the head-end. Overall it was fine in the end, but I understand other people might struggle on that mattress. Had breakfast at the restaurant which was amazing, staff were all friendly and attentive. Great experience for an early start.

We reserved a twin room for two non couple adults. On arriving we found that we were given a double (1 bed). When we asked to either change or for staff to separate the beds, we were told no one was available. We offered to separate the beds ourselves if we could just have the linens and were told that staff didnt have access to the linen cupboard. We were given one extra comforter and tokd that the beds would be made right in the morning. We separated the beds ourselves and improvised with what we had. The next day staff didnt touch the room...no new linens, no new towels, no tea bags, nothing. Our final day we were given two twin comforters, but our improvised linens (improvised by us) were not changed. Staff was never available to assist us as they were busy with patrons of the bar and restaurant. There is no dedicated staff for the hotel. There is no closet, no space to dry wet clothes (for a hotel in the Scottish highlands), very few amenities. I would not recommend staying here.

I’ll admit checking into the property inside of a restaurant was not expected. The check-in notes should probably mention this. The servers in the restaurant were very good especially Natasha. The WiFi was pretty much worthless. The property was clean and had ample parking spots.

Toilet seat was loose and there was mould on the bathroom ceiling. The room was spacious and well presented, good power shower. One of the barmen in the restaurant/pub wasn't friendly or approachable, didn't really want to help and clearly didn't want to be there.

Saggy mattress, had to walk to next building for bathmat, heavy loud doors, key card required to enter building and turn on lights so couldn’t leave someone in room if wanted to go out with key. Should have spent a little more to stay somewhere comfortable. But the town is quite lovely!
