Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had pretty new and very nicely furnished rooms with lots of extras, spotless and stunning. The service was friendly and responsive, particularly lovely and extremely attentive. The location was in a beautiful, quiet place with picturesque views. The dining experience was delicious, with many choices. Overall, a fabulous stay with excellent service and amenities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are very nice, especially if you get one with a balcony overlooking the loch, though they could use a bit of a refresh. The service was excellent, with super friendly staff. The location is perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings, and the dining experience was mostly great, despite a small hiccup. Overall, a wonderful place to stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms offered an excellent view over the loch, which was truly beautiful. The dinner was delicious, filled with wonderful Scottish touches from subtle tartan plaid wool drapes to a room that felt like a castle.
