Band members even took the time to chat when they wrapped up just before 9 p.m. Parking was free and convenient (a little tricky to find; it's tucked close to the building and not marked). The bed and bedding was comfortable and it was very quiet at night. It has historic character, also a bonus.

I did notice there werent many staff around and at times they were doing multiple jobs. Food was really good we ate dinner in the bar the first night and we had a good breakfast included in our room rate in the morning. The room was nice, comfortable beds, warm, we had a good shower and a beautiful little private patio area. The hotel itself is a little run down in areas but has amazing potential, the room could be a little cleaner but we had a really nice stay. It was excellent value for money and the staff really make the place! The hotel atmosphere is very chilled which is lovely! ##### Ericka Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Angela 19 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Hotel was very good.

Great breakfast, quality food and lovely waitress. The bathroom has mould round every ledge, so although its clean it looks grotty. The shower doesnt drain. There are dinner plate size holes in fire door, a ceiling has collapsed in an office / dumping area in the front of the hotel ( they could hide it by just pulling blinds down). Its clearly been neglected for years. The location is fab, it COULD be gorgeous with a heap of improvements. ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 31 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Coming up by train, it was a convenient and luxury base camp for the Ben Cruachan circuit, if a short walk along the road doesn't bother you. Lovely garden and river. Very nice staff and food. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Amenities overnight stay on my way to the Outer Hebrides. On checking in a was surprised to hear I had been upgraded to a bigger room. The bed was big and comfy and the shower was powerful and hot. I had dinner and breakfast at the bistro which was limited for veggies but no more so than any other restaurant and the staff were helpful and polite. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Eloise 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I wasn’t really expecting much for £50 but the building itself needs some modernisation. The room looked like it needs a refresh and the view was just of the roof, you couldn’t see anything outside. The shower was not the best. It squirted out bits of water and screamed when it was turned on. Told on Expedia that check in is at 2, I know I got there slightly early but my room wasn’t ready until 3\. Dining room wasn’t the best, there was no atmosphere and not a lot of choice on the menu, breakfast was more or less the same, not a lot of choice and some of the things on the menu they didn’t have. Bed was really comfy which is good ##### Eloise Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Omar 26 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The bed was clean and comfortable and the lady in the bar was friendly but everything else was so awful that I was very glad to leave. Shortly after arrival I complained to the manager that the shower ran unbearably hot, even on the coldest setting and that the curtians were hanging down due to multiple missing hooks. Neither complaint was rectified during my 3 night stay. I then noticed that the bedroom carpet was filthy and the ceiling and walls covered in dustwebs. The large televison probably didnt need its wall bracket as there were so many webs attaching it to the wall, both at the back, top and sides. The carpet appeared as if it had never experienced a vacuum clean - the room corners and edges less so. Bits of nail clippings and other dirt clearly visible. Spider web in corners, dead flies attached to the curtains and this was a 'superior'room! Public areas such as the dining room and bar looked lovely. Shame about the breakfast. Buffet items were old, same open bowel of yoghurt out day after day, fruit rotting, apple juice looking darker by the day. A good choice is offered for cooked breakfast but only if you are NOT a vegitarian. Zero effort to offer anything veggy!. You got the impression that everything was about making less work for staff rather than looking after their customers. Very sad as this place could be so good with just a little TLC. I took pictures of the bedroom showing the filth but I got the impression that the manager isnt bothered. ##### Omar Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ian 27 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service My room was a little tired and in need of some repairs, but it wasn’t expensive and it was clean and comfortable. Evening meal and breakfast both very good. I’d be happy to go back when the repairs have been completed. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa 19 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice stay when visiting the Highlands. ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Red Squirrel, Stevenston by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stevenston-Hotels-Red-Squirrel.h31884764.Hotel-Information) > - [Scourie Lodge B&B and Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lairg-Hotels-Scourie-Lodge-BB-And-Gardens.h32759778.Hotel-Information) > - [Tigh Mor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Tigh-Mor.h23064993.Hotel-Information) > - [UHI Inverness – Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Cityheart-Inverness-Campus-Accommodation.h18692953.Hotel-Information) > - [Bentley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel.h32118669.Hotel-Information) > - [Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-Strathburn-Hotel-Inverurie-By-Compass-Hospitality.h12578746.Hotel-Information) > - [Rusacks St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Rusacks-St-Andrews.h21486.Hotel-Information) > - [Crieff Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crieff-Hotels-Crieff-Hydro.h574583.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Lights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Harbour-Lights.h48443876.Hotel-Information) > - [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > - [Muthu Oban Regent Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Muthu-Oban-Regent-Hotel-Refurbished.h1419323.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Inverness.h20408.Hotel-Information) > - [Myrtle Bank Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Myrtle-Bank-Hotel.h20233396.Hotel-Information) > - [Lochgreen House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-Lochgreen-House-Hotel.h12755818.Hotel-Information) > - [The Park Hotel Peebles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peebles-Hotels-The-Park-Hotel-Peebles.h13177753.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Hotel, Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-The-Station-Hotel.h4564713.Hotel-Information) > - [Mercure Dumfries Cargenholm House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-Mercure-Dumfries-Cargenholm-House.h78392936.Hotel-Information) > - [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > - [Loch Lomond Waterfront Luxury Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Waterfront-Luxury-Lodges.h27365911.Hotel-Information) > - [Raven’s Cliff, Motherwell by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Ravens-Cliff.h23151361.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Bank Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Pine-Bank-Chalets.h29344496.Hotel-Information) > - [Buccleuch Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Buccleuch-Arms-Hotel-Restaurant.h5436640.Hotel-Information) > - [The Millcroft Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Millcroft-Hotel.h35254076.Hotel-Information) > - [Highgrove House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmarnock-Hotels-Highgrove-House-Hotel.h29841477.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Strathspey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Macdonald-Strathspey-Hotel.h2429678.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Aviemore Woodland Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Macdonald-Aviemore-Luxury-Woodland-Lodges.h34755276.Hotel-Information) > - [Metro Inns Falkirk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falkirk-Hotels-OYO-Metro-Inns-Falkirk.h22202528.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fox And Willow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-The-Fox-And-Willow.h4563123.Hotel-Information) > - [The Esplanade Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-OYO-The-Esplanade-Hotel.h6467698.Hotel-Information) ---
