The hotel has been run by the same family for many years. With their vast experience they know how to look after guests properly, and will ensure that your stay is everything you hope for. The hotel is fully modernised whilst still retaining the traditional character and charm of an age gone by. An oak panelled staircase and open coal fire burning in the entrance hall enhance the old world atmosphere, which prevails throughout the building.

 

The attractive and comfortable accommodation which we offer, coupled with true Highland hospitality, transports our guests away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic present-day lifestyle into a slower pace of life you will be reluctant to leave behind at the end of your holiday here in the Highlands of Scotland.
