solid stay with loch views
comfortable armchair comfortable bed heating radiator
The room offered good space, with comfortable armchairs and beds provided! i noticed the windows open, allowing fresh air. i appreciated the heating radiators. They worked very well. costume jewelry was displayed in hall showcases.
i observed that the evening meal was only available between 6pm and 6:30pm, which i found rather inflexible.

limited outlets non-functional radiator
the reception staff were amazing. they provided a complimentary bottle of bubbles after my climb.
the room didn't quite meet my expectations considering the price. it only had two power outlets, a problem for tourists needing to charge multiple devices. also, the radiator didn't work so the room felt chilly the whole time.

An Acceptable Stay
nice staff warm room easy access power supply shower tray bus tour
The staff members were nice. The room was warm and clean. Access to different areas was easy.
The hotel had no power supply by the bed, made plugging in my husband's sleep machine impossible. The shower tray was higher than the floor and not non slip, which led to an injury when exiting the shower. Guests on a bus tour woke us before 7am as they left with their wheelie cases below our window.
