The hotel is located near by the station and with a lot of restaurants around. But the hotel needs a makeover, we experienced issues with the heating water.

Good location. My room was a bit old but still had the necessary things. It was very noisy though, a generator(?) house in front of the window was making a lot of noise which you could hear with windows closed as well. The twin bed was a bit small.

Great location for Jacobite train
Lovely hotel in perfect location for the train station. Dinners were fantastic and breakfast was good. We had no hot water on second morning and heating failed during the night. When we advised we had no hot water it was dismissed as “yes we know”.

Good and bad
Walls are wafer thin. Drain were making a scary sound like from the under world.
Bfast scrambled eggs were runny.
On a good note: on request, we were give a baby cot. The staff helped putting it together too.
Staff at the restaurant was very kind, helped with the high chair.

Staff and food good but the hotel is very tir
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and breakfast and dinner were good, but the hotel is in need of refurbishment and decoration. Our bedroom had only single glazing so the window was covered in condensation for our entire stay. The hotel is very conveniently located for the railway station.

Good stay
Friendly check in, room was basic but clean. Shower was hot and powerful. Room was slightly cold and heating was not on. Take ear plugs if you want a good sleep as you can easily hear people in neighbouring rooms. Cant complain too much for the price.

No Hot Water
No hot water for showers or for other needs. Made our stay to relax and refresh ourselves during our travels extremely disappointing.
The outside of the shower tub was delaminating.
Pigeons were nesting just outside our windows making noise late intot the evening and very early in the morning.

Clean and comfortable
This is the third time that I have stopped here. Personally, I love it, but if you are looking for a top notch accommodation then this is not for you. The rooms are pretty tired but clean, comfortable and warm. The stuff are very helpful. The food is okay.
Personally, I go for value for money and this is what you get here
