We stayed in a chalet type hut, outside the Inn. It was very cold, when we arrived. We put the heaters on and it did warm up. It was ok but i didn't feel , it was the conventional hotel room, we were anticipating. Continental breakfast delivered at 7pm was good.

Spacious room, clean, friendly staff. Little disapointing that there was only continental breakfast in a bag (tasty but no full Scottish breakfast), but everything was ok

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

adequate for a one-night stay

Accommodation in the small "bothy"-type house is not up to standard, the bathroom requires refurbishing. Breakfast - although adequate in this form - was served in a paper bag left in front of the door. Everything was clean and tidy. The outside could be landscaped to make it more friendly. The food in the hotel was good and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Staff were attentive & obliging. Food was honest & plenty of it. Rooms were clean, but very worn. Shower didn’t work, toilet didn’t flush, no breakfast facilities, only a bag delivered to room. Only decaf coffee in room & no cutlery provided to eat the breakfast.
