I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy with a nice view, but the shower was a bit dodgy. The customer service was top-notch, and the housekeeping and laundry services were exceptional. The location was great for exploring the Inverness region and conveniently close to all activities in Evanton. The dining experience offered tasty Danish pastries. Overall, a good value for money option in the Evanton area.

The hotel is situated in a very central location for touring around the Inverness region of the Highlands, with a nice view and a dodgy shower. The customer service is top-notch, especially in housekeeping and laundry services. The area is without a doubt a great spot in Evanton, also conveniently close to a nearby pub. However, the dining only offered poultry options.
