Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a highland theme, and the four-poster bed was incredibly comfortable. The modernized bathroom with a huge shower added a touch of luxury.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were very comfortable with a lovely highland theme, but there was some disturbance from kitchen noise. The service was excellent with various amenities available on request. The location offered peaceful surroundings, but there was limited dining variety. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor hitches.
