Super friendly host - Jane was amazing and very accommodating. Quaint rooms with a lovely touch from the host - great banana bread! Very close to the cows in the centre of town so you see them during breakfast, and a good spot if you're a hiker as I was able to dry all my kit in the Hosts dry room.

Very good stay. We were made very welcome upon our arrival. We had advice for visiting the region. The breakfast is delicious. The location next to sheep and views over Loch Ness is fabulous. The rooms are clean, comfortable, quiet and have a courtesy tray and a functional bathroom. The lounge also allows you to rest after a day of walking.
