The room was clean and spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The staff was curtious and professional. We stayed there after skiing the Highlands. The outdoor hot tub was perfect and the robes in the room were appreciated. The view of the bay is great, the restaurant was good, although a little on the pricey side. Overall, we had a great stay.
