Our stay was overall good, but the entire hotel is in need of some TLC.
Looks very run down.
However the best part was the spa area and the staff were excellent 👍
Great staff, great price and lovely area. The outside could do with a lick of paint, new signage and a new roof. The spa side is great also. I sent every day in there.

Pleasant enough stay
Staff were friendly, room clean but dated. The entire hotel is in need of updating.
Main issue was the room was too hot, with no way to cool it down without opening the windows and getting traffic noise.
Very run down hotel, single glazed windows and very cold rooms with paper thin duvets. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in the hotel and the leisure facilities were very unclean. The sauna was also out of action.
Ideal place to stay for a solo treker keen on climbing Ben Nevis. Lovely to use pool sauna steam as part of the stay included in the price too.

Great value, no WiFi, a bit dated
Incredible value for money, if you don’t mind it being a bit dated! Overall the stay was great, doubt you’ll find a better place for the money. if WiFi had worked (only the staff WiFi was available) and the changing rooms for the gym were a bit cleaner / had less bugs in them I’d give it a 5 stars!

2 night stay
Great location. Four poster room very comfortable and clean, only problem was shower. Did not get hot water. Staff friendly and polite, breakfast was very nice. Access to leisure club in poor state of disrepair and needs a lot of attention.

It’s not the ritz but I paid £180 for two people for two nights included in that we got four breakfasts that were very good and lots to choose from not just continental fully cooked . We also got full use of a decent size heated pool ,jacuzzi, steam room and sauna with clean towels supplied. The hotel also has a nice bar and serves good food . The room was clean and warm with a very good large comfortable bed . I read the other reviews after making the booking and got a wee shock and I have to be honest yes the hotel dose need an update and decoration but don’t let the other reviews put you off personally we got a lot for our money compared to others . All the staff greeted us with politeness and were very helpful from reception to bar and pool thanks guys we would definitely go back .
First room was stinking of sewage. We got moved to a second room which had no hot water, freezing through the night with no heating coming on, the electrics were dangerous, shower was over flowing due to blocked waste pipes and the tv didn't work. Stay completely ruined. We were told to get in touch with the manager to arrangement a refund, to which weve had no response at all. DO NOT BOOK HERE.
Staff were lovely, but there needs to be a serious investment in the property. My room was ok, if a bit tired and “beige”. My colleagues room smelt of mold….

This hotel is a 20 minute walk to the town center, it could use some updating for sure but otherwise the staff was so lovely and helpful, restaurant, pool on site!
