CASTLEBANK HOUSE FLATS, DINGWALL

lovely clean apartment had all the amenities you might need and in a perfect spot. Close to the supermarket (literally 2 minute walk) Was a perfect location for us to stop for 2 days on our NC500 trip.

The stair well had not much head room which I unfortunately found out the hard way but apart from that great stay.

It was conveniently you located to everything we wanted to see and do

The stairs were a big problem for us because we are both seniors

Perfect location for what we needed

Location and parking was great. Shower and towels good.

It wasn't that we didn't like it but it is a tired building/accommodation but for a short stay it's fine.

We were here to visit the Corrieshalloch Gorge. This was the easiest place to go from. We were delighted to find the flat easily, that there was ample parking at the back. The lockbox was really easy to locate - right by the front door. Everything worked well. We were even happier when we saw the size of the flat. We had just come from a studio - one room. Here there is a large living dining room and an enormous double room. There is also a single room we did not use. The kitchen is fine, if rather a mixture of plates and mugs. We didn't cook other than to heat up some Lidl croissants. We preferred cheese and wine for supper. The shower is good, lovely hot water and easy to operate. We had one meal out at the Culbokie Inn a short drive away. Not much to look at outside, but very lovely service and an excellent lemon sole. Before we left we called into Batty's Baps on the high street and had an excellent panini.

Nothing much. A silly thing we would have liked a drainer tray for the kitchen sink. We washed up by hand and there is nowhere to put the wet dishes. If - like me - you need a dark room to sleep in bring an eye blind. There are proper curtains but there is a street lamp right outside and the light gets in under the curtains. It never bothers my husband, only me.

Great location, very spacious, easy to find. All appliances and facilities you could possibly expect.

Some fittings and furnishing are looking a bit tired but still functional.
