The hotel was good for one night - a place to rest your head. It is not somewhere that I would have booked for a longer stay. It was an okay experience.

Small town, good jumping off point for Inverness and northern Scotland. Bar and dining downstairs, grocery store just next door, easy access to the highway. Pretty quiet where we were towards the back, gulls made the most noise of anything, but nothing thst bothered us. Room itself was fine, we ended up in a triple room somehow (just me and my wife), so space was a little tight with a queen and a twin bed, but it was ok. Bathroom was ok too, no real issues. All in all, nice enough stay.
