adequate stay, some issues

included breakfastventilation fanearly noise
the breakfast was included and quite alright.
the room felt quite dated, and i noticed the bathroom's ventilation fan wasn't working. this caused the room to feel damp after a shower. the noise from what i assume was the kitchen also carried up to my room quite early in the morning.

A charming stay

friendly welcomeexcellent foodspacious roomplentiful breakfast
I enjoyed the friendly welcome I received. My room had nice warmth and was very nice. The bar provided a good experience, and the food was excellent. The location proved great since it wasn't too far from Inverness. The staff were friendly (really lovely people!) and helpful. I enjoyed the food, which I found excellent. The room was spacious and clean. It was serviced every day, I noticed. Breakfast each morning was varied and plentiful. I had evening meals in both the restaurant and the bar. All were tasty and well presented. The restaurant food was good and at realistic prices.
I found the room basic.
