Ideal accommodation for putting your head down

Perfectly adequate for my purposes. Room was pretty clean - particularly the bed linen and the bathroom were immaculate. Service from the staff was excellent - very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for budget accommodation this is ideal.

The rooms have been renovated. They were clean, tidy and simple. Both rooms were unable to get hot water for showers. The sink had hot water. This we could not figure out. Be sure to bring your personal soap and shampoo. The two staff were friendly and helpful. This loacaton worked fine for our quick stay in Dinwall.

First off-the staff is very lovely and friendly. We stayed 2 nights -the first night in room 6 we had an issue with the shower, it was scalding hot-when we advised staff in the morning, we were moved to room 30-our second room was fully renovated and everything worked just fine. Wifi was spotty, and we were a bit concerned with security as the front door was unlocked and accessible to the street. The hotel is under major renovation. It is well located and again, the staff couldn’t have been lovelier

Sorry, but no.

I’m sorry, but the room was just unlivable. Sad condition in a classic hotel that has gone to seed. We took one look, and smell, and decided to find other accommodation. We left the key at reception, called the host and apologized, but said we just couldn’t stay. Also, very difficult to even locate the property, but the host was very helpful on the phone navigating us there. This property is more like a youth hostel than what we were expecting.
