Great location. It was on main street and had a restaurant in the hotel. Walking distance from a 9 hole golf course. The hotel rooms need a little upgrading but a very nice place to stay.

Enjoyable stay

Cute old multi-house hotel. We were in a satellite building that I liked better than the main building. Breakfast was very good. We did not try the pub/restaurant. More laid back than Aviemore.
