Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are charming and come with a fantastic shower and a lovely bath. The service was top-notch, and they even welcomed me with a refreshing drink. The location, nestled in a picturesque rural area and near a majestic castle, was a dream. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with delicious special dishes. The facilities were excellent, making my visit truly memorable.
The hotel is located really close to Eilean Donan castle, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The rooms have character, a great shower, and a bath, which adds a nice touch to the stay. However, the dining options are limited, affecting the overall dining experience. The staff at the pub are exceptionally helpful and accommodating, which is a definite plus.
The hotel is a cozy gem, with character-filled rooms and a great shower. The service is attentive, offering a welcome drink and pet amenities. It's conveniently close to the castle and a fantastic pub for meals. Although some areas need a touch-up, the value for money is acceptable.
