direkt in den Higlands gelegen, bietet diese Unterkunft viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, Inverness, Loch Ness uvm. sind gut zu erreichen. Frühstück und Essen im Restaurant waren super.

Unser Zimmer war etwas klein/eng.

Excellent location. All staff were exceptionally welcoming & friendly. Lovely room with an excellent breakfast the next day.

Minor thing: if you are a light sleeper be aware you can hear a bit of noise from downstairs. Did not stop me sleeping but I was aware of it.
