“Highlander Mountain House captures a certain Highlands charm, especially with its cozy fireplace lounge and generally welcoming vibe, though the small bunkhouse rooms, while cute, do come with their share of quirks like minor maintenance issues. The central location is a definite plus for exploring town, and the staff's friendliness shines through, even if service hiccups like limited restaurant hours or coffee station shortages can arise. It's a place that feels lived-in and atmospheric, ideal for a brief, characterful stay if you can overlook a few rough edges.”
