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.
