My Second visit to this Hotel, and hopefully I will return. The Staff are attentive and friendly. A nice Bar and restaurant. The Hotel is a few steps away from the Main Street. My Room overlooked the Loch and was clean, and quiet.

The location was great for walking the area--shopping and restaurants all around the corner. The room itself was ok-good enough for our one night stay. Couldn't get the heat to work and the shower didn't have much pressure. Hair dryer didn't work. overall thought is was pricey for what it was.

The hotel is well located in the town, room was a twin and small. We where on motor bikes barely enough for us and gear. No luggage room, which didn't help breakfast ok. No good if you have mobility issues. Functional, not the best hotel of the trip but the most expensive 😫. Staff where very friendly and pleasant
