6.4/10

The hotel has a beautiful location with stunning views of Little Loch Broom and the surrounding hills, perfect for exploring nearby villages and beaches. However, it is quite isolated and far from major hubs, making it a stopover location rather than a central spot. The rooms are outdated with a 1970's decor that may not appeal to everyone, and the dining experience, while decent quality, lacks organization during busy times.

The rooms are reminiscent of the 1970's and may not be to everyone's taste. The bathroom suite is in a dated style, but they are clean and decently comfortable.
