The room was cosy and sufficient for one night. It was tidy, but I could see it was wasn't wiped down properly after the previous guests, as I could still spot evidence of their stay here and there. Thankfully not enough to yuck me out. If you are a light sleeper, make sure you take some ear plugs, as you can hear almost everything your neighbours are doing and saying, in particular if you are in a downstairs room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were great! They have a bar as well, if you fancy a night cap.

We stayed two nights while walking the Great Glen Way. We loved our room and bathroom, very comfortable, and the fact that we could open the window. Very quiet. Great food for breakfast and dinner. Walking distance to Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness. Would very happily return again.
