Had a fantastic stay! All of the instructions on how to find the property, how to access the building and our room, and even the places to park were very clear and helpful. It was very clean, comfortable and quiet. The town was great too. We would not hesitate to book this stay again. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable experience.

Great place! Excellent location and super clean. It really worth the price! I totally recommend this hotel if you’re visiting this magical place. This hotel doesn’t has car park as such, but free perking spaces are available less than 2 minutes walk. Keep in mind that the majority of places to eat open late and close early.

Busy check in with such a late check in time at 4pm - felt very rushed to get in, and had people piling up behind us. Then rushed again to get out by 10am. Really doesn't feel like value for money to have such a late check in and early check out. Balcony of Loch Lochy not private and our bathtub was clearly visible to those on the next door balcony. Good view of the canal though and fairly comfortable bed. Very quiet room.

Fabulous boutique hotel that is self served. You were located right in downtown and you can’t get any closer to the lock and dams or any of the sites. I would highly recommend this hotel. Extremely clean and nicely done.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beds were incredibly comfortable — I haven’t slept that well in a long time. The self check-in process was really well organized, easy, and convenient. The hotel is perfectly located, with everything within walking distance. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and super cozy — it feels like home right away. I highly recommend it!
