Sterling Highland notel.
Lovely place, nice hotel. However, when I picked up the TV remote control I recoiled in horror. Not only was this contraption so well thumbed that the control icons had worn off so a best guess was all you could do, but the control was FILTHY. That is no stretch, completely disgusting. I went to the front desk where I was told "yes it very old" to which I replied "No, it's kin filth". That kind of set mood for a while. The windows are I'll fitting wooden ones, with old latches on that don't fully close the window for draught free closure. The replacement remote didn't function too well either. Cheap copy. The area is great. Castle well worth a look, expect hills but worth the push, and the graveyard goes back to the 1500's.

Staff were very helpful and polite, food was really good both dinner and breakfast, bed was comfy, bathroom could do with a little refurbishment but with the age of the building it will probably come at some time. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying here.
