Staff very friendly. Restaurant food and breakfast were excellent. Beds comfortable. Bit noisy at times from other rooms but a hazard where large rooms have been converted into smaller rooms with ensuite bathrooms.

Great from start to finish; friendly staff at check in/out nice room, excellent bed, and best full Scottish breakfast I had during my 7 night NC 500 tour. Bar/restaurant seems to be frequented by non-residents, which is usually a good sign, our meals were good. would defiantly come back

Simple efficient check in and a lovely clean room. We had dinner in the hotel with Cullen skink that made me smile, and I like good Cullen skink. Definitely worth future visits.
