Out stay.
Beautiful hotel and well situated in the centre of Inverness. On arrival was given a key card to the room which didn’t work. The porter came to let us in only to be let into a room that was occupied to another customer. Thank goodness they weren’t in the room at the time. How embarrassing would that have been !! Spa staff were lovely and friendly not all staff were as friendly unfortunately
