Romantic Highland Getaway

friendly stafftasty foodcentral location

I was given a three-night stay as a wedding gift and extended it to five nights to celebrate my husband's birthday! The location is superb, being a short walk to the beach and village. The staff spoiled our dog, Asha. The food was AMAZING!!! Every staff member was friendly and always happy to chat.

The shower room would perhaps benefit from more places to put toiletries.

The TV did not work properly. the hairdryer seemed on the verge of exploding! The room felt a little bit like a box cupboard.

i found the location superb facing out towards the bay the views were great from my room. the food was delicious i was so impressed with it. i found a lady on reception very helpful she helped me with an early check-in.

i noticed the room felt a bit dirty even understanding it is an old hotel. the radiator wasn't working so an electric oil radiator was in the room i thought. the tv didn't work and the manager seemed complacent about that situation
