excellent food and shower
bit rushed at breakfast to tidy up table
television did not work despite request to fix it as my daughter was just off night duty and intended staying in the room in the morning to doze
Overall: fine but much more expensive than other equally good hotels (107856101)

Friendly staff. Friendly welcome. Comfortable bar with with very reasonable prices for all whiskies, and a wide selection of them too. Bedroom comfortable and clean, good sized wardrobe and enough drawers. Good food. Good location for access to the mountains.
Bathroom a bit "tired", but apparently due for refurbishment - nevertheless quite OK and clean.
Overall: Would stay there again and recommend it. Friendly personal service from hosts and staff. (107695332)

A very pleasant hotel in a good location. Staff very friendly and hotel food very good.
Overall: Whilst we only stayed for one night we were made to feel very welcome and everything was perfect. The room was exceptional and both the evening meal and breakfast were first class. (97757223)
Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?
Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
How do I add a rating?
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
How do you manage to collect so many ratings?
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
