Fabulous boutique hotel that is self served. You were located right in downtown and you can’t get any closer to the lock and dams or any of the sites. I would highly recommend this hotel. Extremely clean and nicely done.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beds were incredibly comfortable — I haven’t slept that well in a long time. The self check-in process was really well organized, easy, and convenient. The hotel is perfectly located, with everything within walking distance. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and super cozy — it feels like home right away. I highly recommend it!

Perfect location! Not all rooms have access to the advertised terrasse, perhaps that could be made a bit more clear. I assumed it is a shared facility when I booked this place.

I could not imagine staying anywhere else as location was perfect. Although there was two of us we reserved the family room that had a bunk bed in there as well. Also a benefit was the balcony that you could go out or leave open for the fresh crisp air. We had the top corner room overlooking the canal and if you can reserve this one as you had canal view as well as out to the Loch Lthough not a full view. Petrol station around the corner was also a supermarket and pharmacy and alcohol could be purchased. Plenty of places so close to eat but do try the Morehouse past the boat tours as the view was amazing

Lovely place to stay

It's perfectly positioned in the middle of the village and right next to the canal. The room was modern, clean and everything we needed.
