Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. The rooms offered a great view, comfortable beds, and a nice bathroom, along with high-quality bed linen and a well-equipped kitchen & lounge. The service was top-notch, with excellent housekeeping, a lovely welcome drink, and pet amenities available. The location was perfect for enjoying the Highlands, especially the restaurant with its efficient one-way system and being right on the bay. The dining experience was delightful, served by a friendly waitress and offering the best black pudding I have tasted in many years. The facilities were modern and convenient, making the stay even more enjoyable.
