First off, if you plan to stay here, plan to drive a half hour away minimum to get food from a restaurant. The food in their restaurant is quite literally frozen reheated food, and it cost ~$100 USD per meal for two people. The hotel itself is surrounded by beautiful mountains and the staff are very friendly. That being said, there was nothing special about this hotel at all, and with a ~$400/night price tag, I was thoroughly disappointed. I would not stay here again.

Wonderful surprise.
Really great stay in room 1. Price not overly suitable for a business trip however I would definitely be happy to stay here for leisure. Comfortable and very welcoming staff who were constantly there to help with any requests. Great facilities, evening meal was lovely, breakfast wasn’t tasting very fresh which was surprising.

When we arrived at the hotel no one was at reception, we had to find a member of staff in the restaurant. The room was fine, nothing exceptional, and the window did not shut properly (a theme round the hotel). There was a bath in the bathroom, but this could only be filled from the shower as there were no taps! There is no where else around to eat (which we guessed when we booked, so not a fault of the hotel), so eating in the hotel is the only option. The menu had various different options from pizza to Indian meals and traditional English meals. I ordered the fish and chips to be told ‘there was a problem with the fryer’ so this was not available. We were sat by a window which had a draft blowing through it. My wife asked a member of staff to close the window, he said he didn’t know how to so would get someone else to do so, no one came to look at the window. The food was OK, nothing amazing. Again breakfast was OK but nothing special. We were asked to book a time when we arrived at the hotel, there was no reason for this. Overall, there is generally nothing wrong with the property (apart from the windows) and the staff were all pleasant, but there is nothing special and the hotel as well the meals are overpriced for what you get.

To be honest, I made a mistake in booking here. BUT what an AWESOME mistake! I meant to book in the city of Inverness. At first, I was disappointed in myself. But then I got there. The beauty is intense. And wait there’s more. About 200 feet from the Inn is what turns out to one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever done in my life. The beauty is so intense it kinda brings tears to your eyes. The Inn is sooo charming. And their food is insanely delicious! I had salmon one night, and I think it was the most delicious salmon I’ve ever eaten. Their breakfast buffet is awesome with tons of choices. I stayed 3 nights and hiked my face off each day. I was not in a car and it was really easy to get a bus from Inverness bus station (next door to the train station). I highly recommend if you love hiking and then down time in a charming Inn with delicious food. I can’t say enough good things.

Overpriced and not good sleep
We had dinner there our first night. It was overpriced for everything on the menu. Our room was separated from the main inn and we had 2 rooms above us. The walls and floor were paper thin. The upstairs neighbors were up all hours of the night and it was a rough night's sleep. The room TV had satellite but only 4 channels worked.

This property is very beautiful and so were the surroundings. It is a hotel but with the comfort of a country house. The employees were very friendly and the room was very large and cozy. Without a doubt, as tour guides, we will recommend it to our clients.

Room was comfortable enough. Bathroom was quite small. Staff is very hard working and wear a lot of hats doing multiple jobs at once. Nice that a warm breakfast buffet is included. If you’re looking for a stay far from anything this is your place.
