Very friendly staff. When our taxi failed to show, the desk person interrupted a group check-in to call around and find another. Breakfast was good. Lobby, bar and breakfast room were attractive.

Andrew United States of America

Kitchen closed early. Breakfast was fine. Rooms were comfortable. Lounge was fun

Tom United States of America

Friendly staffs. Very peaceful location. Best value for your money.

Kitisak Thailand

Good location . 5 min walk to train station. Right next to High Street the Main Street for walking and shops.

Robert United States of America

The staff were all wonderful. We were comfortable. It was right across the street from where we caught the Jacobite Steam Train.

Booth United States of America

The staff was kind and attentive. Amazing breakfast, and overall comfortable stay!

Pires United States of America

There was extra care taken to prevent Covid transmission- and they were clearly conveyed. The bar served excellent drinks. The breakfast was delicious and contained Scottish specialities not available in the south. The things, like bathrooms, that needed to be modern were. But they kept the brass doorknobs and lovely wooden features. Staff was so helpful with my luggage and other needs. Plan to stay for a few days and enjoy the town.

Suzanne United States of America
