“Its location, right by Neptune's Staircase and with views of Ben Nevis, is truly something special for exploring the area. The rooms are well-kept and comfortable, some even with balconies, and the staff make an effort despite apparent staffing challenges. You'll find good value here, particularly given the generous portions and the character of the bar area.”
