We only dined here and would NOT recommend the food. My wife and 2 kids had a good meal as did my friend's partner. Both my friend and I ordered the Tagliatelle Carbonara as a treat......

When it came it was cold and the pasta was not cooked. It came with garlic bread of which I tried a piece. I tried to muster through but when the pasta started to crunch it gave a whole new meaning to AL DENTE.

We made the staff know who promptly took our plates away and returned some 10 minutes later.

I assumed they'd have time to make a fresh batch of pasta and new sauce and also freshen the plates, but they took the lazy option....microwave.......

They even mentioned that one of us had eaten half of our garlic bread.....so poor......

They had a chance to redeem themselves but didn't.........

Needless to say we didn't tip them and would not darken their door again.

Summing up, the area is well presented, staff initially appear helpful but the service was abmissmal and they didn't even acknowledge the fact my friend and I had to wait an extra 10 minutes. No discount was offered.

We were driving north on the A9 when we came upon this village, literally out of the mist! As I had been driving all the way from Southern England a comfort break was called for and we stumbled on this little gem of a hotel. The reception was warm and welcoming with a real log fire. Initially only stopping for a short break we ended up staying the night. The hospitality of the staff swung our decision. When we asked if some food was still available bearing in mind the lateness of our arrival we expected the standard "The kitchen closed at..." We were surprised and delighted to be offered the menu at 9:50pm! Some items were not available but this was no great hassle considering most hotels would have struggled to supply sandwiches. The food was good and well presented, the coffee excellent.

We were shown to a warm comfortable room and after a quick freshen-up I made my way to the bar, my better half choosing bed. The public bar had a scattering of locals who made me very welcome and later treated me to a “dram” of the local whisky much to my better judgement. After a sound sleep we chose a light breakfast though we could have been quite lavish judging by the other guests plates.

And so we continued our journey, when we passed by on our return journey the village and hotel were still there so maybe not “Brigadoon”.

My only criticism and I really am nit-picking. The décor of the hotel was a little too contemporary for my taste. With the exception of the exterior and the reception I could have been in Glasgow or even London. I think if this small delightful village hotel reflected its rural location in the bar décor it would be truly special.

Great hotel to stay at! Got there much later than expected since the trains were late & that messed up our schedule but the staff was very accommodating. "The Brothy" aka the bar was a fun way to end the night... fun people, cheap drinks! SUPER comfy bed... nice shower... even had a cute plaid couch & TV. And kettle for tea! And cookies! Breakfast was delicious... a hot cooked breakfast. scrambled eggs, salmon.. much better than typical cereal box and orange juice. They even had black pudding... interesting to try....
The staff helped us find some things in town we came to see & helped get cabs. Would love to stay there anytime!

Made very welcome by lad at bar but the manager seemed otherwise preoccupied with something (she didn't change for the rest of the night and she looked younger than the bar staff!)

Evening meal was okay, perhaps worse than average for this type of hotel. Bar quite busy with locals and other guests and this contributed to a friendly atmosphere. Lovely log fire at reception if a trifle Smokey.

Good nights sleep in a comfortable room followed by an early morning walk round the pretty little village. Back for a disappointing breakfast served by a surly waitress!
