“The scenic location near Ben Nevis and the Caledonian Canal makes it an appealing base for exploring the Highlands. I noted that the bistro and bar foster a relaxed atmosphere, enhanced by the dog-friendly spaces. While some aspects need attention, its commitment to local Scottish ingredients is a definite plus.”
