    Location on the Loch. Food was nice but a little pricey for the amount.

    The room was very small. Very basic equipment. Poor quality pillows and only one each. It was noisy, you could here the next door occupants talking and snoring! It was only place to charge extra for breakfast and the dog out of seven places on this trip. It just wasn't worth the money for the room.

    The location was perfect. The pub food was excellent.

    Visual appearance to the inn could be improved. When we arrived we just handed a key and the person went back to working behind the bar. The cost of a room was expensive when compared to the other hotels we stayed in whilst completing the NC500

    Location of the Inn was excellent.

    The television in the room was faulty, the Screen tube was broken so was difficult to watch any program ,the shower unit which looked new, however, the shower handle holder was loose so had to hold the shower head and shower with one hand! The breakfast was good! apart from the "Half slice"? Haggis, ( think for £11.50 breakfast a full slice could have been provided like the Black pudding), which the half slice haggis ..... you could have bounced off the wall it was that hard, love Haggis, but that was a new experience! hopefully, that's not a tourist first experience of the traditional Haggis

    Help full staff, room was warm and comfortable

    dated interior makes the place look untidy. if it was modernised a little then the hotel would be so much better and look cleaner, the place wasn’t dirty just needed a revamp. also only heating was a tiny mains powered oil heater which didn’t produce much heat, also loud music at night when trying to sleep from the bar below
