A Nice Highland Stay

friendly receptionist clean room comfortable bed delicious treat
The receptionist was helpful. She efficiently arranged dinner and breakfast at check-in. I found my room spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. The Tunnock's teacake was an unexpected, delicious treat. The dinner and breakfast both had very good service. The bar staff were also really good.
The bathroom door didn't close properly. I think the paint on it may have been the reason.

The room had a comfortable bed and was spotlessly clean upon arrival. I found unexpected treats, like a Tunnock's teacake, available in the room. These added a small, nice touch to my stay.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel's main areas had modern and trendy decorations, which gave a 5-star hotel feel. I observed the reception area, the restaurant, and the bar all maintained a really high standard. This attention to detail significantly enhanced my experience.

The receptionist was very friendly and efficient while arranging my dinner and breakfast times at check-in. She made the process seamless, ensuring I had no scheduling conflicts. The bar staff was also helpful.
Location

When approaching from the town center, I noticed a signpost before the T-junction. To reach the hotel easily, you must turn right at the signpost. It is important to follow the small road to avoid navigation issues.
Dining

Dinner and breakfast both tasted delicious and included very good service. The menu had extensive options with high-quality fresh ingredients. I felt the breakfast was worth every penny due to this quality.

unpleasant odor shower curtain
the parking was helpful and seemed fairly secure. i suppose that's something.
The room smelled sort of unpleasant. I think our clothes even picked up the odor? the bathroom felt cramped, and the shower curtain barely kept the water in. quite the experience.

the staff were genuinely helpful. joanne and rose were particularly cute. i received a tunnocks tea cake and caramel wafer upon arrival. the planters outside had some real effort put into them.
the hotel needs some updating. there was dust on the skirting board. some furniture was broken , and the walls were badly marked. it just needs some tlc.
