Excellent base of you are exploring the region, very friendly staff, comfortable rooms and great food!

Pros: The hotel is well situated, easily accessible from the A9 and right next door to a coop if you need anything. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, you didn’t feel in any way like an inconvenience. The food in the restaurant and at breakfast was great. Although some of the dinner options were a little unexpected, e.g the haggis starter with a whisky and mustard sauce came in a kid of soup bowl, with the haggis in the middle surrounded by the sauce, almost like a soup. However, it tasted great so was good to have all that whisky sauce! Breakfast was great both days, all your cold stuff and a cooked to order menu too.

Cons: Nothing really!

Qaint village location

Pros: Very good friendly attentive staff. Prioritised you a place to book evening meal as they get fully booked by walk-ins \u0026 as their food is exceptional. Good breakfast service

Cons: The 1 only thing that let the experience down was the uncomfortable bed leading to uncertain sleep.
