Excellent Stay Near the Airport

convenient locationhelpful hostessshower pressure

The location is very convenient. Several restaurants are nearby. I appreciated the supermarket and petrol station close by. The hostess offered to keep our larger bags while we travelled to Skye. This was very helpful. They were in our room upon our return (very grateful for this!).

The room lacked washcloths or hand towels. We only had one towel each for showering. I also noticed the water pressure in the shower was not ideal.

The hostess was responsive and helpful. She kindly stored our luggage during our trip to Skye. This thoughtful service made our travels much easier, and the bags were safely back in our room.

I had a family double room. the room had what i needed for my short stay. the quiet atmosphere stood out. It was very calm. access was easy. I appreciated the flexibility with arrival times.

i noticed the toiletries were limited. there was to be just enough for a couple of showers. this felt a bit calculated.
