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 Some areas appeared neglected and the decor felt outdated.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!!!
