A great little pub in a great village setting in the north of Scotland. The hospitality was first rate with the owner and staff more than obliging and happy to partake in the small chat during our stay. Breakfast was included & more than enough to get us through the day. The evening meal was what you would find in a Scottish pub however, I think there is opportunity to expand the menu and be a little adventurous and move away from tradition.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here for a few days in May. Have only eaten here before but thought we would try the hotel as well. Because of the way Brenda and the team run the hotel it feels more like you are staying with family. The rooms are spotless, the food is delicious, and the team can’t do enough for you. Any request at all is simply met with a “nee bother”, im fairy sure I could’ve set myself on fire in the bar and Brenda would’ve come over with a bucket and said nee bother. Best nights sleep I’ve had for a long while. Seconds from the beach, walkable to the town, just a really nice place to relax

Royal Oak

The good:- staff were lovely (but see below), single room clean, comfortable and had wonderful hot and powerful shower. Great view as well (see attached) and plenty of parking. The bad:- Staff seemed very overworked, and I got the wrong order at dinner. This was corrected, with profuse apologies, but I then got a bill for the erroneous (more expensive) order. No towels in the bedroom, and it took over two hours for any to turn up (probably due to overworked and stressed staff). The ugly:- one of the main lights in the bedroom not working, which made half the room very dark. As the hotel is on a main road (?no double glazing) there was a lot of road noise, but, to be fair, it was quiet overnight. Overall:- the good outweighed the "niggles" and I would stay here again. More staff of a similar friendly and helpful calibre would make a huge difference
