We booked to stay in a suite which was a great choice. Beautiful, newly renovated and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, lovely large shower with toiletries and fluffy towels, a neat kitchenette with fridge coffee machine kettle and microwave also fully stocked with plates and cutlery. The restaurant was closed due to renovations but breakfast was served to our room. With booking a suite we had a dining area and lounge which made all the difference. It would be easy to spend a week here and it not cost too much with having all the facilities. Highly recommend staying!

The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff did a great job making us feel welcomed and making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. It was a short walk to a great selection of restaurants and bars (pubs). We had a great stay at this hotel.

The super king size bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was really cosy. Went up to Fort William from Edinburgh for a birthday trip and had a hike round Glencoe. The cosiness and heating in the room meant we were able to warm up quickly when returning to the hotel. We were also left a lovely bottle of bubbly and a birthday card! Thank you so much for this! Small details make such a big difference<3
