“This inn proved to be a delightful surprise, with its cozy, quaint ambiance and the attentive staff who made me feel genuinely welcome; even the cuisine stood out, particularly the salmon, which was exceptionally delicious. Nestled in the heart of the Highlands near stunning hikes, it's a place where renovated historic charm meets mountain views and community; overall, it's hard not to recommend it for anyone looking to explore the outdoors. My opinion is that it's a great base.”

beautiful location lovely welcome delicious food noisy bedroom open door pricey beer

The location was beautiful, i even saw some deer right outside. the welcome was lovely and my room was a good size. the food was delicious. The biryani stood out.

My bedroom was located at the end of the corridor. It was very noisy. the rear door was left open. It clanged against the lock. i found the prices quite pricey. A pint of ipa was £7.50.
