Booked the West End as a half ways stop when was up in Alness for a cup football match. We checked in quite late and let the hotel know, the room was good size and nice and cosy, the kitchen and bar was still open and the food was lovely, freshly cooked and piping hot. We added on breakfast and when we arrived and it was the same lovely fresh breakfast. Never caught the name of the lady who was on breakfast service but she was lovely - very talkative and attentive. Would def stay again

A lovely night spent here. Very clean room and the manager was excellent. Very helpful. The only downside was the shower with low water pressure and the thin walls. Great value.

Fine place to stay

We have a room of 2 connected bedrooms with reasonable size. Interior design is a bit out-fashion but is spacious and comfortable. Continental breakfast is just okay. Convenient parking lots

Lovely stay, clean rooms

This was a short stay on a longer trip. We thought the beds were comfortable, check in was quick and the woman working the desk was pleasant. The only thing was the wifi did not work very well in our room which was a bummer as we are traveling from out of the country and were heavily relying on a strong wifi.

Very happy with our stay here. Hotel looks like it has recently been renovated. Room was a good size and was clean. Could do with another member of staff; the one lady working when we arrived was checking people in, taking food orders, bringing meals out and tending bar. She was doing an excellent job but clearly two members of staff are needed. There are a few parking spaces at the hotel, but if they're full, plenty of on-street parking is available right outside.
