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.
