Great location for Jacobite train

Lovely hotel in perfect location for the train station. Dinners were fantastic and breakfast was good. We had no hot water on second morning and heating failed during the night. When we advised we had no hot water it was dismissed as “yes we know”.

Melissa

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The room size is fine for a solo traveler but the electrical outlet was no where near the bed since its an old fashioned style room. Do not expect modern appliances to be easily accessed from the outlets. Sink is in the main room instead of bathroom. Tub was brand new and looked recently replaced, but nothing around it was updated like panels or plumbing. If you like the historic feel and just need a place to crash, its fine. Very close to lots of restaurants and just across street from train station.
