Review:
Convenience: C- From Inverness it's extremely
inconvenient. Busses run only every 2-3 hours and
they're expensive. Then it's a 10-15 minute walk from
the bus stop. But it's a beautiful walk through mist
shrouded mountains, and down the most quaint little dirt
road.
Comfort: C+ Small room with a double bed. Window shade
wouldn't close, and the sun rises before 4am. No sink in
the room, 2 bathrooms downstairs with a difficult hot
water system. Very friendly and helpful staff though.
Extra blankets in a chest in the hallway.
Price: B - I think it was about $40 for the two of us,
plus $4 or $5 for both of our breakfasts, self serve,
wash your own dishes.
Atmosphere: B Small room that's entirely pink! Walls,
shade, bedclothes, lamp - everything! Cozy living room
with fireplace - we needed the warmth! They did our
laundry for 3 pounds 50 pence. The owner was extremely
nice and helpful. The house is situated on a wonderful
little road full of cottages, glorious Scotland scenery
all around. The hairy coos down the road are not to be
missed. Walking distance (although a long walk in the
rain) from Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness. If it were
anywhere but Scotland, it would've been a C. |
