The facility offers free wifi but the signal was very weak and dropped out repeatedly. For international travellers who rely on wifi for communication and planning will find it difficult to use. Breakfast is not offered early for travellers on an early rise itenerary. No wash cloths in the bathroom for showering. Lighting in the room was dim and one bulb did not work. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. Check in was fine.

We had a lovely stay with Heather and Craig. Room 1 was ground floor, quite roomy and very comfortable. We enjoyed our evening meal which after dining out for a couple of weeks during our trip it felt like a perfect home cooked meal. We liked the options for breakfast and once again enjoyed our selections.

Very limited options in this part of Scotland so I didn't have any great expectations prior to arriving, but was pleasantly surprised. Yes it is a bit tired looking in places, but looking past that, and far more important, it is welcoming, clean, comfortable and serves very good food. Everything you could want after a long day travelling or walking. The hosts are very dedicated and great to chat with. I would have happily stayed longer and would have no issues with staying there again should I be in the area.

Excellent welcome!

We stayed here as part of our journey from Land's End to John o'Groats. Lovely welcome from the owner with use of a locked workshop for our bikes. Great to have a tasty evening meal there too.

Wir waren auf Durchreise mit unseren Fahrrädern dort. Sehr angenehme Gastgeber, hilfsbereit. Zimmer hat alles was man benötigt, sauber und komfortabel. Abendbrot in der Bar im Hotel war super, genau wie das Frühstück. Klare Empfehlung.
