awesome bar beer garden small towels old-fashioned bathroom
I found the bar on the hotel quite awesome with its beer garden. Bar billiards and a bean bag game were available. I appreciated the well-appointed room. It really met my needs.
The bathroom looked quite old-fashioned. The shower was woefully inadequate. It was really just a shower head and hose attached to the bath taps. The towels were quite small and thin.

Wonderful Stay in the Highlands!
convenient location really good views refurbished restaurant comfortable beds
The location just outside the town was very convenient. The views were really good. I loved the recently refurbished restaurant and bar. The views from there were amazing! Check-in was easy. I was able to quickly get to my room. I found the beds to be very comfortable after long days exploring the area.
The water pressure in the shower was a little low. Washing my hair took longer than expected.

lovely character building great outside area spacious adjoining room cracked bathroom window acceptable shower temperature missing hairdryer
The building has a lovely character! the outside area and bar were great too. i especially liked the adjoining room for my daughter, it was quite spacious. dinner at the tartan table bar was a plus. The bar snacks are huge!
the bathroom window had cracked glass, it was fixed shut, and clear. there was no curtain, and no fan! the shower made it impossible to achieve an acceptable temperature. there was only liquid soap and no shampoo etc, and no hairdryer!!
