Washer instructions were lacking as they could have been proved with a picture of the actual . machine settings.Device washes well. but does not dry clothes. A folding drying rack could have been provided. Better instructions on central heating need tweaking. Place was too hot so we just turned off the system to cool.off.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel on our roadtrip round the Highlands. The room was modern and comfortable - great bed and the shower was really good too (on the bijou side but lovely water pressure and hot). The room was a good size, accommodating us and 2 German shepherd dogs. The decor in the main hotel areas could do with modernising - very 1970s - but not unpleasant, with the exception of the snug where a really good overhaul is long overdue. The fact that the hotel could accommodate us with the dogs in the bar area to eat was fantastic and fortunately the dogs were well behaved so not an issue. The staff were great, really helpful and attentive although some of them were nervous around the hounds. Food was good, and the sweet trolley should be retained at all costs - modernisation or not! Thank you for a lovely stay. Would certainly recommend the property.

Excellent stay clean warm bedroom, lovely staff, cooked breakfast excellent but the set up of the cereals very basic didn’t like the massive cooking pans of cereal open to the elements individual boxes and yogurt pots would be more suitable we didn’t think about dinner as never saw example menu in room or at breakfast, it’s been a very pleasant stay though

I emailed the property three times as I wanted to know if I can move the date of our stay as I had an emergency surgery a couple of weeks before our stay. No one returned my email and I called the hotel twice and there was no answer. I understand I booked a non refundable stay but I was in the hospital and the Doctor will not let me travel. I thought the hotel management will take that Into consideration but they just did not care

I gave it one star for location and another for price and that's about it. It's very shabby and run down, looks like it hasn't been done up since the 70's. Room was basic. Breakfast wasn't great, the "buffet" was just a load of old soup pots filled with cereal. Weirdest set up I've seen. Staff on reception weren't particularly friendly, didn't even get a thanks when I checked out. Looks like the whole place just caters for bus tours and contractors and wasn't very welcoming. Great location and price but that's all that's going for it.
