This was a nice place to stay and the staff was very helpful. We enjoyed the walk to shopping and food/drink. Ear plugs were necessary for the light sleeper as the road noise at the front of the facility was on a busy street. Would do it again.

This property is on the main road and there’s a hospital close by so it can be a bit noisy but only during the day. It is very conveniently located close (short walking distance) to dining, shopping and the grocery store. Our Luxury Suite room was huge and luxurious. There was a fridge and kettle and a French press and oat milk in convenient packets. (They came in and cleaned it while we were out.) There was a shower and bathtub (which I’ll use next time). Brandy was friendly and gave us an excellent dinner recommendation. (We got lucky to get a seat.) We parked in the back and could leave through the fire door (if only we hadn’t left our charging cord behind!). Ben Nevis is just a short drive away so this was a perfect place to stay.

People were queuing to get in at 3pm. Eventually we were given a key and told to find our room on top floor. There was no instruction book in the room, and we had no further contact with anyone during our 3 nights stay.
