Excellent hotel in fantastic location on Loch. Bedroom was good size and nicely decorated and designed, clean and with tea/coffee maker. Bathroom was modern with a large shower cabinet with rain forest shower. The room we had had a seating area outside and a shared terrace looking over the Loch. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice hot breakfast served to your table.

Comfortable although double bed a bit on the small side.Rooms would benefit from the addition of a safe and extra shelving in bathroom.Seemed a bit strange no additional guests in room after 10pm but can understand if guests are noisy and playing music,maybe been a problem in the past.

The staff in the restaurant go above and beyond and are friendly and welcoming. However the receptionist who "wecomed" us was more interested in telling us what we could not do, having arrived 30 minutes before check in time. We did not ask for any early entry or ask to leave our bags, simply wanted to know where we could go for a drink/coffee until check in time. No such information was offered just reiterated that we could not get in to our room. A less than welcoming welcome.

One night stay. We had a ground floor room with a small balcony onto the water, which was great. The view was stunning and we were entertained by a family of swans, passing ducks, house martins and swallows. Bed was a good size and was reasonably comfortable. The furniture is starting to show its age. Both the breakfast room and the restaurant played pointless music both inside and even more annoyingly outside! We were disappointed with some of the food at the restaurant, which was overpriced. Breakfast was delicious, especially the homemade toasted granola.

Beautiful location, nice little refurbished hotel with lovely little rooms. Food was brilliant, love the little combined cafe/bar idea where you can mix cocktails with cake. Bed was a bit small but for the price, our stay was amazing.
