The pub is right beside the A9, so was a good place to break the journey up to Orkney. The staff were friendly and check in was easy. The pub restaurant had a selection of vegetarian options. The bed seemed quite new and was comfortable.
I was in the cottage in the car park, which looked cute from a distance, but is in need of renovation and updating. The windows were small, the main lighting wasn't great, and the bedside light was faulty and rapidly flickered on and off, so it wasn't possible to read in the room. I wasn't that keen on the continental breakfast, as I don't eat cereal or yoghurt, and only sachets of decaf coffee were available in the room.

Food in restaurant was really good as was portion size. Choice was great too. Staff very helpful. Breakfast hamper was a lovely idea and very well filled .
Unfortunately I wrote to say I was gluten free and was assured I would be catered for when the breakfast hamper was mentioned. I also checked when we were shown the room, but alas whilst there was fresh fruit and yoghurt, there was no nice croissant for me😭 Single bed in family room needed a better mattress. It was a hot night with window open, so there was some A9 road noise and the odd train to be heard in the distance too. It wouldn't stop us visiting again though.TV has a permanent line right down the middle and one of the bedside lights needs an extension cable cus there was nowhere to plug it in.

We checked in very late due to problems on the motorways and the staff were very accommodating and left the key for us on arrival. Breakfast was a generous continental tray left outside our room ~7.15am
Although coffee, tea etc were provided there was no kettle so could not get a hot drink when we arrived or for breakfast. The Inn is not occupied after the restaurant closes so we never met anyone, on arrival or on leaving and it did not seem as if there was anyone else there so we were somewhat isolated!

Right next to the main road but was quiet at night. The hotel catered for vegan breakfast (with prior warning) so that was greatly appreciated. Breakfast is delivered to the door in a basket, so no hot options. Could have done with real coffee in a cafetiere or similar as the instant in the room was, well, instant coffee! For the price, really can't fault it Also ate there in the evening

The staff deserve a mention. They were excellent, nothing too much trouble. The food was outstanding. Best mac and cheese I've had in a long time. This is the second time I've stayed here, so that speaks for itself.
It was fine for me but if you like the window open at night you'll get road noise till 10.30/11 at night I don't know how much closing the window cuts the noise because I never closed the window.

loved the novelty of having a breakfast basket, never had that at a stay before, although unheated coissants wasn't great but good selection, the room was a good size absolutely loved the food the menu was fantastic and the staff were great helpful and friendly and we liked the location even though it was away from other amenities, would stay again
the room was a bit dusty but clean otherwise and we only had 2 teabags and we were there for 4 days and the wifi wasn't great

Check-in was easy at the pub below. The single room was comfy and clean with tv, kettle and coffee and tea. the bathroom was clean but the flush of the toilet had some issue. The breakfast is ready in a basket in front of your door in the morning to eat in your room.
Be cautious with the electric switch of the shower. When I arrived it was off and I haven't seen the switch. I was not able to take a shower.

Convenient stop off en route to Orkney. Dinner in the pub was good. We had the cottage in the carpark which was fine but felt a bit in need of some TLC.
Wasn't wild about the cottage, clean enough and had all we needed. Breakfast basket was fine but nowhere really to sit and eat and would have preferred ability to get proper coffee rather than just the sachets in the room.

Spacious room . Very clean. Comfortable bed. Beautiful bathroom. Nice toiletries. Good tea and coffee and biscuits. Working tv. Nicely presented breakfast.
The evening meal was disappointing. The chips were overcooked, kept hot too long. The batter on the fish and breadcrumb on the fish cakes also overcooked or kept hot too long. The inside of the fish cakes was delicious though.
