Cute wee room

Stayed for one night as it was close to Ben Hope. The room was old fashioned, but in a good way . Loved the tartan accessories and the big deep bath was an unexpected nice surprise . I would stay there again if I was going back to that part of the country

MARK

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel grounds appeared untidy and neglected. The bar was limited (and expensive)since my last visit. I had difficulty understanding the managers strong eastern European accent, he was helpful and courteous though. The bed was very soft and because the bedding/pillows and mattress were foam I was overheating and sweaty so did not sleep, which was disappointing as I had booked to avoid a 3 hour journey from home in the morning. I was not aware breakfast wasn't included when I booked through Expedia, that made it not such a good deal after all. Overall I would say that over the years I have stayed here this hotel appears to be decaying, internally and externally.

Remote Highland Hotel worth visiting

Splendid highland situation in a remote scenic area with good parking. Well appointed furniture and fittings and country views, although I could not see the lake from inside the hotel. Room warm on arrival but tv being upgraded so not available. Very good internet signal, Only a couple of guests as out of season so had personal service
