Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and slight letdowns. The room, with its thoughtful touches like a glass of fizz upon arrival and a cozy bed overlooking the loch, was very comfortable. However, the absence of tablecloths and the hard floors took away some of the hotel's character. The service was exceptional, with attentive and smartly dressed staff executing dishes perfectly. The location offered stunning views and local walks to enjoy, though it could have been more magical with the hills in the background. Dining in the beautiful restaurant with magnificent views was delightful, living up to its 5-star rating. Facilities were top-notch, providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

This hotel is an absolute gem hidden on the stunning Scottish coastline. The rooms are beautifully decorated with modern touches and offer all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. The dining experience is delightful, accompanied by mesmerizing views that set the tone for the day. The service is top-notch, making you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. However, the price may be a bit on the higher side, but the value for the experience is truly exceptional.
The hotel had excellent and beautifully decorated rooms, boasting a king-size bed, lovely en-suite, and a wee snug area with splendid views to the front. However, there were some issues with a cracked bath and sink, and the plug chain wasn't connected to the sink. The service was beyond accommodating and friendly, and the location provided breathtaking views. The dining experience in the beautiful restaurant with magnificent views was delightful. Overall, a great stay with minor room maintenance concerns and stunning surroundings.
