lovely highland getaway!

clean room tasteful decoration convenient coffee
I enjoyed a wonderful stay. the check-in was simple. I got a text with my room details and key location. the room was tastefully decorated and very clean. It felt perfect for a solo traveler. i appreciated the tea, coffee, and chocolate provided. The self-service milk from the kitchen fridge was convenient.
The hand soap dispenser was a little difficult to operate. I had to press it several times.
