Only dropped in to buy some water and juice as we were late for a music lesson. It's really a cute place. Service was a little clunky and I seemed to be ignored for a wee bit. Would love to go back and try again. Just shows when your in hospitality you always have to be on your toes.

Super amazing place. So historically beautiful. The staff was so cool and the food is fabulous! We ate there both nights of our stay. The location is unbeatable! Can get to everything pretty quick and still enjoy the country side.

Beautiful small hotel with a warm friendly welcome, interesting decor and lovely clean and quiet rooms. The hotel boasts a residents lounge with chess, board games and books galore as well as a bar and restaurant with on-site car parking and an outdoor seating area for those warm evenings. The restaurant (home-cooked) and bar is open to non-guests and is well worth a visit if you are in the area, although booking is recommended as it is popular. The owners and staff are lovely too and endeavour to make your visit a fantastic experience.

Very pleased with our meal, it was wonderful. The staff were very pleasant, friendly and kept checking we were OK or needed anything. The young man was very helpful giving us information of want to see when we go to John O Groats.
