Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located near the Loch, making it handy for exploring the highlights of the north Highlands of Scotland. The rooms are recently refurbished with new bathrooms, sofas, and couches, offering a comfortable stay. The service, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, was top-notch. However, the dining experience with cold dishes was not the best. Overall, a great value for money with modern facilities and a park setting next to the church.
