enjoyable stay with tasty meals
The breakfast choices were delightful, particularly the scrambled eggs and toast that I still crave. The staff went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed, making my solo stay very comfortable.
The room was quite cozy but not overly spacious.

Lovely loch views and friendly staff
We had a super chill stay. The place was right by a beautiful loch with hills all around. The staff were awesome! They even offered us a ride to our next spot, saving us a taxi fare. The food in the bar was delish, especially the local seafood. Just wish the WiFi was a bit better.

The stunning views over the loch create a serene atmosphere that's hard to match. Each meal was excellent, especially the pasta options, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. the portion control during breakfast was a bit strict, and the dinner options felt limited after a few nights. Still, the overall experience was enjoyable, with attentive service and comfortable accommodations.

Exceptional cleanliness set the tone for our stay. the rooms were the cleanest I've encountered. The outdoor views were breathtaking, especially from the lovely dining room overlooking the loch. Food options, particularly the hot sandwiches, were plentiful and delicious. while the service was generally friendly, a couple of minor delays with our meal orders detracted slightly from the experience.

We had a fantastic time fishing at the loch, and the staff made us feel right at home. Each meal was a delight, and the kids loved the cozy lounge where we played darts. The views changed each day, providing a stunning backdrop.
In my wife's opinion, a kids' activity area would be great.
