8/10 Very good
Lovely rooms, everything you need. During winter there are no staff on site so no food. A basic breakfast is available. Great location

Lack of hot water. The place is unmanned and wasn’t cleaned throughout our three day stay. The guests in the room next to us kicked off and argued over the lack of hot water and we spent on night listening to them screaming at each other and throwing stuff about. A shame as our room was old but clean on entry. A good area and easy for reaching several sights nearby.

Dated and never serviced
Room was never serviced, even after we asked for extra bin bags for our rubbish and then got told it should have been but it never got done for the duration of our stay.
Leaking drain outside which mean an increasing pile of sewage in the car park

Braw wee hotel.
This place was lovely. Having been before we were more than pleased this time as the young man who welcomed us couldnt be more helpful. Our room was prepared specially for us as we had arrived early. No problem. If we needed anything we were told just to call him on the phone in the front hallway. He lived in the premises whilst on duty. The room was cleaned and bins were emptied daily. Breakfast was available in a grab and go service provided in the dining breakfast room. We came and went as we pleased. 3 days of relaxing in this comfotable hotel was just what we had hoped for. Will definitely be returning in the future. The comments we had read before in reviews must come from people who expect far more than what they pay for. It was homely, clean and welcoming. As we all get back on our feet and return to a sort of normality after covid, lets give these wee places a chance. Braw place . Thanks guys.

Manky hole!!
Didn't actually end up staying. First time I have refused to stay in a hotel.
Keybox to get key.. entered room.
Not the four poster bed I had booked,
Lino ripped, dirty, mould in bathroom and windowsills, lumpy disgusting bed.
Went to reception to use phone to get a staff member. Tried twice and no answer.
Walked through the public areas.
Run down and empty.
Started crying and my hubby ended up booking a premier inn as I was too upset to stay there.
Extremely false advertising and photos were nothing like the rooms.
Shame as I lost my reward night with Hotels.com.
Would not recommend !!

Peaceful location but thin walls.
I asked for directions to my room from a staff member. She showed me to my room and where the shared bathroom was. I asked if anyone was in the same wing as me, and she said no guests, just her sleeping in the room next door. Unfortunately, the walls were paper thin, and she apperently likes to listen to the news without headphones, so almost every moment between 8 am and 8pm, I could quite clearly hear the news/videos playing from her phone/tv through the walls. While this didn’t affect my sleep, it didn’t exactly make me feel comfortable. The hotel manager had emailed me asking if everything was alright. I emailed back to ask them to ask her to keep it down but the email they used was a noreply email. I messaged them on Expedia but they didn’t respond. So even though I tried to have this (rather awkward) issue resolved, I couldn’t contact mgmt.
Since it didn’t disturb my sleep, it’s not the end of the world, and otherwise the place was fine. Would have been a perfect stay without the noise disruption and I hope that this review encourages the staff to use headphones to avoid disturbing guests.
Management needs to be responsive and reachable thru email.

There were no staff, room was clean bit rubbish left in bathroom from previous residents.
Breakfast room was ideal but bin was not emptied when crammed full of rubbish.
Leftover food in bowl left a couple days, disappointing as cleaning/housekeeping staff clearly not taking care of day to day waste. Made for a disappointing stay.

Quiet area and comfortable stay. The place had all the necessary amenities for a night’s stay. They offer a nice lounge and provide both a microwave and a refrigerator, which made it convenient to bring and enjoy our own food. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Very beautiful and comfortable room, after a long day of hiking around and visiting the Highland Folk Museum. Easily accessible, and within easy walking distance from the high street. Very peaceful and quiet, really loved my stay.

The stay was ok. The room was cleanish and it was fine for a one night stay. The mattresses were horrible. You could feel the springs in them.

A weekend for two
Had a lovely two night stay. The corner bath was a deciding factor when deciding where to stay. We found the place to be clean and although we didn’t see staff we also didn’t have a need to see them. The key lock was easy to use to collect the key and return it. They were aware of my wife’s dietary needs as we had enquired about places to eat. When we arrived along with the usual tea/coffee biscuit were some harribo which felt like they cared enough to look into alternatives for gluten free. Once parked our car didn’t move until we left we found the hotel’s location to be great for completing walks.
I would recommend the cafe along by train station for amazing gluten free options. Some of the takeaways are cash only, there is an atm located at the back of the coop on the high street only a few minutes walk from the hotel.
The bath was a bit of a let down as it creaked so much I worried I would be falling through the ceiling. The shower was separate to the bath and was fine.
The decor was as expected loved the lamps.

Good accommodations for the price.
No frills lodging. It's an older building, and it is showing it's age, but it's sufficient for a night or two. Big tub in the bathroom. Rooms are warm (It's Oct and cold!). Good accommodations for the price. Make sure you check your email ahead of time for the key box code, or you will have to call from the unstaffed reception. Free coffee and snacks at breakfast.
