A lovely building in a great location in the central highlands. Ashame they only serve fooin the restaurant which was fully booked throughout our 3-night stay. Staff is friendly but could be more attentive and proactive to feel truly welcomed.

Positioned just outside the busiest part of town yet very convenient for everything. Charge points in the car park (charge point Scotland, and Tesla) were very handy for us EV users. If anything a little too warm at night (tho’ I suspect non-British or ‘maturer’ visitors appreciate it warmer.

Perfect location
Great location, great breakfast and dinner was amazing. Room was awesome with only one exception - the bottom sheet was not fitted and moved too easily exposing the mattress underneath. It seems like such an easy thing to correct.
Everything else was great.

5 Star Experience
We stayed one night on bed and breakfast basis. We also dined there on the three course set menu. It was fairly pricey after adding pre dinner drinks and a couple of glasses of wine however we couldn’t fault a thing. Food was amazing. Modern, inventive and very, very tasty. Presentation was first class. Staff were exceptionally friendly.
Our room was in The Loft. Small but immaculate with a quirky Alice in Wonderland theme. We hope to return!

Loved our stay here, it’s worth the price and the trip! We liked it so much, we would come back here for another vacation and stay here the entire time!
Lots of easy parking available!
As soon as we walked in, we felted welcomed! We were greeted with a welcome drink and was told all about everything they offered!
Our room was soooo cute! We loved the fact that the TV’s came out of the beds, everything was so modern and echo friendly. The room felt so cozy and clean, it made you want to just stay inside the entire time instead of leave to explore! They even offer hot chocolate and snacks in the mini fridge.
The views were also fantastic of the Loch Ness!
The town is right down the street and easy to walk too.
I would definitely recommend this place!
