Room was lovely with a balcony and loch view. Bathroom had been renovated recently and was nice and clean. Shower was nice. Couldn’t find how to turn off the radiator in the bathroom so it was a sauna in there. The bed was a nice firm mattress which was a nice surprise. Dinner was really good. I wanted to tip using the card machine but couldnt due to hotel rules and had no cash on me. Breakfast was fine. Didn’t use the pool etc. Would stay again.

Spacious room with amazing views. Nice seating area with table and chairs. Bed and pillows rock hard and very uncomfortable. Bathroom dated with discoloured grouting and sealant. Ceiling lights excessively bright and fittings clinical. Bedside lamps a nice touch but each had different colour/wattage bulbs.

I stayed in a deluxe king room with a view. The view was amazing! We had a nice e little deck. The hotel dining was convenient and the food was pretty good. The full Scottish Breakfast was great! The bed was firm, which wasn't my preference but my husband liked it. I would stay here again.
Fantastic tub!
