8/10 Very good

Suite à un imprévu sur la route (route fermée pendant plus d’une heure), nous avons prévenu l’hôtel de notre arrivée tardive. Le personnel a été très compréhensif et nous a réservé un accueil très chaleureux. Chambre très propre et petit déjeuner copieux.

Book early for options

Small country hotel with all the basics a long way from major settlement with little other accommodation available.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The room was comfortable and had everything we need for a comfortable stay. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but it was lovely. It was a very pleasant stay.

Nice hotel in scenic location

In many ways more like B&B rather than hotel. Public bar downstairs. Breakfast very nice and owner friendly and helpful. Set in a small village with very nice surrounding countryside. My only criticism would be that it was quite expensive for a B&B.

Best place on our highlands tour

This was the best place we stayed at on our tour of the Scottish Highlands. It’s family-run, comfortable and clean. And the food was amazing! It is out of the way from the most common attractions, but it is worth the trip, because it is a wonderful little place located in a quiet part of the highlands.
Stefka, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A tight breakfast timing ! A little stressful . Lovely dinner staff though - forgiving when we were a bit late arriving after a long drive Deer in the garden !

Fabulous stay

Had a lovely stay. Rooms are comfortable, shower good. Hotel slightly dated and could do with refurbishment in the bathrooms but staff and food are absolutely second to none, best breakfast we have ever had. Lovely walks close by, beautiful gardens to sit in, small shop nearby, great bar. Would definitely go back for the breakfast and lovely staff alone, will book a king size bed next time though.

Einfaches Hotel, aber Preis-/Leistung stimmt.

Älteres Hotel. Eingang nicht leicht zu finden. Check-in erst ab 16 Uhr möglich. Einfache Unterkunft, aber ok. Sehr gutes Essen. Beste Cullen Skink, die ich je hatte.

Only negative I had was the late check-in time, but other than that I had a great experience, and really enjoyed the wonderful staff.

6/10 Good

Check in was great, felt very welcome. It’s an old house, quirky. On way up to room could definitely feel the odd sunken floorboard Brushed against the wooden radiator cover on the landing and it promptly came away from the wall with us scrabbling to catch it. The room wasn’t huge, but had 2 chairs so that was a bonus. The floor slopes from the door to the window, quit a bit. Enough for a 4x4 wooden plank to be put under one side of the bed to make it level. The bed, although only a double, was actually wry comfortable. The shower room was pretty small, that’s ok but the actual shower was tiny. My hubby could hardly get in the doors, once he was in, he filled the space, could hardly turn round and had no chance of retrieving the soap when he dropped it LOL The bar area was good and a great view of the garden. Breakfast. Well, the tea and toast was good. I don’t recommend getting the scrambled egg and salmon, think the whole lot was microwaved together, it was still in the shape of the bowl when on th plate. My hubby had full breakfast, the bacon tasted microwaved too and the rest tasted bland. All in all its needs updating and someone who can cook breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful but we definitely don’t think it was value for money, we’ve stayed in far better places for a lot less.

A Nice place to stay.

An old world style hotel. Do not expect Chain Hotel features but the location is superb, the staff fantstic and the food is good if limited but as much as possible is sourced locally. Well off the beaten track so at night it is quiet, so quiet. If I were in the area again, I'd certainly return. What you see is what you get and that is pretty good I think
