I had an amazing stay at the hotel with breathtaking views of the mountains right on the shore front. The room had a very narrow double bed but the view from the armchairs at the window overlooking the scenery was simply stunning. The service was exemplary in all areas, and the housekeeping was top-notch. The location, though not near the city centre, was in a covered area that added a nice touch to the experience. The dining with a lovely view was a delightful experience. Overall, a great value for the money with a few minor downsides.

The hotel offers stunning views over the firth to Inverness with a very narrow double bed. The location is right on the shore front with mountain views, but it's not near the city centre. The dining experience includes sliced tropical fruits but lacks variety. The facilities are satisfactory, with some limitations.
