This hotel was clean & tidy. The 3 ladies who served both dinner n breakfast truly made this hotel for us. They were friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. They even organized us a fan it the Scotland heatwave as the room was so hot. Would stay again.

Staff were excellent and very nice but the hotel is very dated and the beds were very uncomfortable. The rooms and hotel need to be modernised and refurbished. The price charged was extremely high for the poor quality rooms, The hotel was however very clean

State of hotel is not accurately reflected in photos. The front desk staff is lovely, but the rooms are incredibly run down. It’s like a super 8 hotel that was neglected for 25 years and given a light clean each day. It needs a full shut down and deep clean to be considered an outdated but ok hotel.

The breakfast buffet was delicious and the staff were great. The hotel room I was in was old with an uncomfortable mattress, carpet was stained, and the baseboards needed painting as the paint looked chipped in a few spots. The floors were creaky so you heard when anyone was walking around.

This property is not as it is in the pictures, room I dont think has ever been updated, hole in door to room where an old door knob would have been it just had some plaster over it, no decor plain walls and white bedding, floor creaked every place we stepped. Bed was comfy though and breakfast offered had a lot of variety and was good.

Helpful reception and breakfast waitress. Room was clean. Main problem was size of bedroom and bathroom and both needed some refurbishment. The breakfast was very average. Everything was self service causing long queues for coffee toast etc as 3 large coach parties staying. Hot breakfast was not very hot. Arrived after 9pm and not enough car parking. Generally expensive and poor value for money. Would not stay again.

Well located with beautiful lake view. Bar pleasant and welcoming. Self ordering of beverages and food. While the serving staff were as helpful as I believe they could be, they seemed short staffed. I don’t put any blame on them as they were obviously very busy. A junior employee to clean off tables would be an asset. Food was ok in bar/restaurant. We saw someone order fish and chips the first night, when we ordered the next night, the fish appeared pre frozen and had a very different appearance. Excellent breakfast. Good service. Plentiful options. Rooms adequate but a bit dated. Bed comfortable. Seems to be a popular spot for tours to stop overnight. As a home base for exploring the area, this hotel is a good choice.
