What a fantastic jewel of a find! Gareth & his staff were so welcoming. Our room was one of the smaller ones but spotless & all we needed for 2 nights, with a great fancy, modern en suite shower. Outside caterers on the Friday night provided fantastic food & the Wee Bear Cafe provides superb home made fayre during the day. Would definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay.

Lovely please. We checked in late but we had all the instructions left out for us and then a lady came to find us to tell us what was what. The rooms were very comfortable, lots of tea and coffee. And then the bonus, there was a shared area where they had free tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice, cereals. All for us to enjoy. Would definitely recommend and if we are in the area again, we will be staying here. Fantastic place

We had a lovely stay, the food was fantastic, the area gorgeous and dog friendly. The loch is right across the road so we had an afternoon dip and there was space for our dog to freely roam. The evening platters were lovely and there was a vegan option for my partner with plenty on the meat platter for me. The were very helpful, accomodating and we will definitely be back again.

A beautiful, quintessential Scottish room. Incredibly comfortable bed and a nice selection of light breakfasts and hot drinks. Really helpful having a dishwasher there too! Lovely views and walks nearby. Would definitely return.

No fry up breakfast but otherwise ok.

Nice lodge, spacious family room. Very quiet location. Only disappointment is Hotels.com advertised it as providing full breakfast but basically you were given access to a communal kitchen where cereal, toast, jam, juice cartons and some fruits were self service. We didn't mind so much but others who are expecting a proper fry up breakfast may be dissatisfied.

Nice place. Lovely cafe adjacent.

Spoke to Lodge beforehand as we were turnng up very late. All very accomodating. Bed felt as though it was sloping down and my husband felt he was about to fall off when turning over. Other than that the room wasvery comfortable and certaiyvadequate for what we were after. Breakfast is basic cereals, coffee, tea and toast available on a DIY basis in guest kitchen lounge area. Although Wee Bear Cafe is available for foid etc after 1000, which is after check out at 0930.

We arrived within the set arrival time but found it locked. Eventually found someone and got in. We weren't given the room we booked, no full breakfast as booked and the accompanying cafe /bar was closed. There is no Loch view from anywhere (even though paid for this).

Host gave us clear instructions to avoid construction on arrival and restaurant recommendations in a nearby town (the fish place was amazing!) Parking area was easy to navigate. Common area was nice to have but filled up quickly with small children in the evening. We could hear conversations through the wall of our room from the other side but we slept well. We didn’t get to try the cafe. Overall a good value.
