What an awesome gem! The lady at the front desk(sorry I forgot your name) was just excellent. She answered all of our questions and gave a suggestion about the area. The room was nice and clean and beautiful view of the water. Definitely recommend this for an awesome stayI have the seafood linguine from the small restaurant on the premises and it was outstanding.

This is an interesting motel with a lovely view and friendly pub. It's a bit dated but upgraded and clean. The Highlands museum next door exceeded our expectations. We'd stay at this inn again.

Another good stay.

Great food at the attached Frolic N’Folk restaurant. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning worked well. Great view from the room’s balcony. It was our second time there and we will go again and recommend to our friends.

I accept finance dictates maintenance or renovation. However it takes no effort to pick up garbage. The facility was disgusting with garbage around the grounds. Smell of human sewage on the front lawn. I can only assume the septic system is leaking.
