So far my best on-the-day booking.The room was clean and had a huge bathroom. Could been a bit bigger, but absolutely did the trick.Price was very reasonable for on-the-day booking, especially taking an amazing full Scottish breakfast into account.

My brother and I spent a night here as he wanted to do some bird watching. We booked the chalet, which turned out to be a static caravan, but it was clean and very comfortable. …

We booked what was claimed to be a chalet but it is an old caravan in the driveway. The age and shabby condition of the caravan meant it was unsuitable as holiday accommodation, especially at the price charged. The host did not appear during our stay but in a phone call refused to accept our views.

Everything was fine, especially the hosts and the full Scottish breakfast!|There is always plenty of space in the car park and nearby.|If you have time, talk with Harry about the Highland Games. Even he doesn‘t look that strong, we was a great athlete.|And if you feel really strong, ask about the „free stay Atlas stone challenge“.
