Location, just beautiful, and the hotel and staff were first class . All of the staff were so professional and friendly making Alison and myself feel at home . The food was excellent and the variety superb, with a Scottish twist as well .

There was nothing we did not like 👍

Gemütlichkeit im Norden Schottlands

9.0

Die Zimmer waren sehr gemütlich und jedes Zimmer hatte seinen eigenen Namen. Man konnte im Hotelrestaurant lecker essen und das Frühstück bereits am Vorabend auswählen. Die Lage ist super, auch um abends noch einmal zum Leuchtturm zu fahren. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.
