    convenient location
    fresh local products
    worn facilities
    drab atmosphere

    The location was very convenient, close to the ferry service and key attractions. Staff members exhibited excellent hospitality, making every effort to ensure a pleasant stay. The breakfast was truly outstanding, featuring fresh local products. the hotel does show signs of wear and tear, with facilities in need of a refresh, and some areas felt a bit drab. The overall experience was good, enhanced by the welcoming service.

    reliable wi-fi
    friendly staff
    great cooked breakfast
    confusing room lock

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We used the hotel as a base for hiking trips and blowy walks along Scotland’s North Coast. The breakfast was a highlight, especially the cooked options. Wi-Fi was reliable, and the staff were pretty friendly. Perfect for a group looking for fun and adventure.

    One little hiccup was trying to figure out how to lock our room. It would have been helpful if someone had explained how it worked during check-in.

    Central location, unique architectural layout, historical ambiance

    The television didn't work, the plumbing issues were quite problematic!!! Some areas appeared neglected and the decor felt outdated. Noise from the bar disturbed sleep, making for a less than restful stay!!!
