the hotel suite was spacious. it included all the necessary facilities i needed. the leisure facilities were clean and well kept. the location is great for highlands exploration.
I learned electricity would cost extra upon arrival. It is quite expensive. this fact concerned me during my holiday. the room décor was dated, like a visit to my grandmother's house. the manager didn't appear to care about my concerns.
