Lovely hotel and room, very nice staff and service with a smile. Dog friendly too which is perfect. Amazing view from the room. The only downfall, I was on the top floor which was a bit of a pain when taking the dog for it's last walk late at night, I also like a warm bath/shower and the water was like warm. With that being said I would 100% recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.

Great hotel well located for the ferry. Good friendly staff and nice continental breakfast. Looks like it has been upgraded recently and hopefully this work will continue. Has a free EV charger for guests which was the main reason for staying there.

Lovely hotel. My room was excellent and the view of the harbor and town awesome. However don't pay 10 pounds per day person for their Comtintal Breakfast. It is far less expensive to go downtown for breakfast. Cheaper and far away better quality. I would stay here again but eat and drink elsewhere.

Great hotel given its remote location in the highlands. Amazing views. Friendly staff. Good food. Lots of parking space. It feels like a highland hotel should, it has character and not corporate bland. Will be back soon.
