The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, some issues with dated amenities were noticeable. The service was friendly and pleasant, but there were some gaps in responsiveness. The location was fantastic for exploring the city and visiting nearby attractions, though some parts of the hotel seemed outdated. The dining experience was decent, with buffet-style options available but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were massive and incredibly clean, although a bit outdated and the beds were uncomfortable. There was a temporary issue with the bathroom lights losing power during the night. The service was exceptional, with helpful and welcoming staff, and they even provided a lockable shed for our bikes. The location was amazing for exploring the village and the surroundings, but the property seemed to lack some modern updates. Dining was a hit-and-miss, with a great food selection but some issues with service and layout. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel has a retro vibe reminiscent of the sixties but offers comfortable beds and a clean atmosphere. However, the rooms are severely dated with various issues like peeling wallpaper, mold, and stained bedding. The service was mixed with fresh and hot food at breakfast but arguments when pointing out faults. The location is brilliant, between Inverness and Fort Augustus, ideal for exploring the North of Scotland. The dining experience was disappointing, except for the good breakfast. The facilities are basic with some areas needing improvement.

The hotel is situated in a lovely location near the lake with outstanding views and atmosphere. The rooms were kind of clean but lacked air conditioning, and bar prices were reasonable. The service was excellent, although the hotel might need some updates. The dining experience was delightful with a buffet spread. Overall, it's a good value for money option in a rural area with limited dining choices.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was perfect for a quiet getaway near Loch Ness and close to amenities, the rooms felt outdated and neglected, giving off a vibe that no one had cared for them in years. The service was helpful and friendly, but it seemed like the hotel stopped investing in renovations a while back. The dining was a hit or miss, with some fantastic options but lacking in prompt service at times.

The hotel is situated in a lovely village, close enough to the town centre to walk, making it a good base for exploring both northern and central cities. The rooms, unfortunately, are severely dated, with peeling wallpaper, mold, and a damp smell, which can be a bit off-putting. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with staff arranging an early light breakfast for us before a day of hillwalking near Loch Ness. The dining options offered a good variety of hot and cold choices, and the location, though not as close to Loch Ness, is outstanding for exploring the area. It is worth considering updating the rooms and adding more staff to ease any pressures on the service quality.
