United Kingdom“I think they'd over booked the standard rooms as we arrived so we were given an upgrade to an executive room which meant a balcony overlooking the canal locks and a direct view of Ben Nevis. The hotel was clean and quiet. We'd definitely stay again.” - Hoke United States“The staff were super friendly and helpful! The location was great. We got to see a boat using Neptune’s Staircase in the morning during the rain storm. It was really neat.”
