We had an excellent stay was amazing. We loved the front room with the fire place to relax after a long walk. One thing to remember if having a dinner there, the chef does a limited menu and sources local so if you are not an adventures eater there are few choices. But the food was delicious.

A lovely building in a great location in the central highlands. Ashame they only serve fooin the restaurant which was fully booked throughout our 3-night stay. Staff is friendly but could be more attentive and proactive to feel truly welcomed.

Positioned just outside the busiest part of town yet very convenient for everything. Charge points in the car park (charge point Scotland, and Tesla) were very handy for us EV users. If anything a little too warm at night (tho’ I suspect non-British or ‘maturer’ visitors appreciate it warmer.

Very nice property and friendly/helpful staff. The room was super hot when we got there. Previous guests must have cranked up the radiators. Bathroom never really cooled down, and can’t turn off the heated floors which heat the room. We opened the windows high but you risk birds and insects. Staff provided a fan which helped bit hard to sleep when too hot. Other than that all was very nice stay.

Loved our stay here, it’s worth the price and the trip! We liked it so much, we would come back here for another vacation and stay here the entire time! Lots of easy parking available! As soon as we walked in, we felted welcomed! We were greeted with a welcome drink and was told all about everything they offered! Our room was soooo cute! We loved the fact that the TV’s came out of the beds, everything was so modern and echo friendly. The room felt so cozy and clean, it made you want to just stay inside the entire time instead of leave to explore! They even offer hot chocolate and snacks in the mini fridge. The views were also fantastic of the Loch Ness! The town is right down the street and easy to walk too. I would definitely recommend this place!

We stayed one night on bed and breakfast basis. We also dined there on the three course set menu. It was fairly pricey after adding pre dinner drinks and a couple of glasses of wine however we couldn’t fault a thing. Food was amazing. Modern, inventive and very, very tasty. Presentation was first class. Staff were exceptionally friendly. Our room was in The Loft. Small but immaculate with a quirky Alice in Wonderland theme. We hope to return!
