We loved the friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond, especially during our unexpected online interview. The hotel's atmosphere was lovely and the gym and pool area were of high quality. 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. The hotel also provided extra services for cyclists, such as early breakfast and storage for bikes.
