The hotel has been renovated but it lacks class and style. It seems like a low budget hotel charging high rates. Lacks attention to detail. For example bed lights weren’t working, the tv login was in French - Took time to mitigate this. It is located optimally for touring the highlands and lochs; staff were warm & friendly ;

It's a small but cozy hotel. The staff was warm and welcoming. Even though we didn't get the water front room(which would have been awesome) the location was great.
