Had a balcony - beautiful views up to the hills. Bathroom was great, big bath and good shower. Breakfast was very good, hot meal and plenty of pastries, toast, fruit etc. to help yourself to. Evening meal was good, but not up to 4 or 5 star standard, service was slow.

Large family group stayed here a few nights to attend a family funeral. Staff were so friendly and kind. Lovely rooms, roaring fires, great location. Special thanks to Callum in the bar & restaurant who went out of his way to ensure everything went to plan, and to reception staff for assisting in the booking & meal arrangements.
