Our cozy rooms were perfect, and the location was great being only a short walk to the town center and a 20-minute drive from Loch Ness attractions. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with a large, comfortable bed that could sleep three. The breakfast had a wide selection of hot and cold food, and the staff was always nice and extremely helpful.
