FAQ

Things guests ask before they book.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Will I hear traffic from the A96?

+

Being right on the A96 is what makes the location so convenient, but some guests do notice road and rail noise, particularly in the front-facing bedroom - it's a fair trade-off to weigh up, and we'd rather you know that going in.

Two nights as standard. During off-season (February-April) we run a flexible 2-night offer with late check-in available on request.
