I must note the room had an overwhelming musty smell. the shower barely had any pressure. It made showering difficult. I expected more from the facilities, considering the overall rating.

helpful hostessquiet locationdelicious breakfastdisappointing decor
Sheila greeted me with warmth. She was quite helpful with trip plans. She offered tips to explore the highlands. The location is secluded and quiet. The restaurant on site is convenient. Parking is free, just past the red sign off A831. The breakfast included hot options and a buffet. It offered fruit, granola, and yogurt.
I noticed cleaning could improve. The decor seemed disappointing overall.
