The building is wonderful and unique, it looks like they have let it run down for a few years. The wife found a spider in the bathroom, almost hurt herself getting off the ground, it was a big spider.

Quiet area and comfortable stay. The place had all the necessary amenities for a night’s stay. They offer a nice lounge and provide both a microwave and a refrigerator, which made it convenient to bring and enjoy our own food. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I don't think it's fair to call this a hotel, more a hostel. Although the property itself was beautiful and had history (being an old manse), it was tired and run-down and needed a serious amount of investment. Upon arrival I found the property was permanently unstaffed and so there was no welcome and obtaining the keys was confusing. The stay felt very bleak and uninspiring. There was no food available at the property. There was a "grab-and-go" breakfast that consisted of a few heavily preserved pastries left in a kitchen area, but I found that other guests had taken most of these, leaving me very little. The room had an adequate amount of furniture but it was generally unclean with copious amounts of dust in the room and the bathroom. Fixtures and furniture were tired and frequently broken, and the bed-linen was torn. I wouldn't stay here again and can't recommend it to other potential guests.
Torn bed linen.

The stay was ok. The room was cleanish and it was fine for a one night stay. The mattresses were horrible. You could feel the springs in them.

Great place for the money

Beautiful location. We couldn't believe the price for such a nice place. An older building, but very nice. If you are looking for a place to spend the night in the Caringorns, give them a try.

Just what you want

We stayed 1 night after climbing Ben Nevis as it is about an hour away and for the price it was perfect. We stayed in stables and it was just what you would want, nice quiet apartment with comfy clean facilities, nice powerful hot shower and comfy bed. Parking out the front of our room and a complimentary breakfast which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend.

Good accommodations for the price.

No frills lodging. It's an older building, and it is showing it's age, but it's sufficient for a night or two. Big tub in the bathroom. Rooms are warm (It's Oct and cold!). Good accommodations for the price. Make sure you check your email ahead of time for the key box code, or you will have to call from the unstaffed reception. Free coffee and snacks at breakfast.
