Wonderful place to stay. Great setup and are sorry to be on a limited timeline as it’d be a great multi day stopover. Make sure to visit Buchan Caves and of course spend time on the beach.

Really exceeded our expectations. Reception staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the whole check-in process was smooth. The room was extremely clean and smelled really fresh when we walked in. Bed was comfortable and everything felt well looked after. Also surprisingly quiet at night with pretty good soundproofing, so we had a great sleep. Overall a really comfortable stay and would definitely come back.
