We used this hotel as a place to sleep for which it was excellent. About 10 to 15 minute walk from the station which for us was great (when not raining). We didn't have breakfast only because we prefer to sample local cafés of which there are a few very close.

Room was quirky but clean. Parking was easy and free. Check in was a little wonky as reception was a little hidden. The walls are suuuper thin. The bed was comfy and the shower hot.

We would’ve loved a bath but that’s just personal preference. Parking was good as we had spaces outside our apartment. Rooms were clean. Shower was pretty weak pressure wise which wasn’t ideal but the shower area itself was a big area.

The staff are the best. There was a problem with booking through a third party, and they were able to smooth it out. There were very thoughtful complimentary water/snacks in the rooms for us. They were under construction when I went and that made parking a little difficult, but we did get a spot. The breakfast was pretty fantastic. I couldn’t get over the view of the loch across the street. The hotel was very nice and we would definitely look this one up again!
