We loved the two staff that helped us check in. They were frank and humorous about the midges. The breakfast was great and the staff was excellent in the morning. The room was standard. Bed was comfortable especially after a day of hiking.

Great hotel, excellent breakfast with all amenities including bacon, sausages and eggs. The only thing that made it grade were the midges. They were everywhere. Can’t be outside because they were so bothersome

Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property is dated, needs renovated! I don’t agree with all the high ratings! It is clean but rooms are noisy can hear every guest coming in and out and talking! Food choices not great and very pricey! Staff are very friendly! Would opt for something a bit more updated if visited area again!
