Restaurant for supper was delicious, but service is slow, took two hours for 2 people. Restaurant for breakfast was perfect for a continental. Basic but fast and yummy. Rooms were a decent size. Not huge but for the age of the building it made sense. There was some mold in the shower and overall cleanliness is not the best but there is effort there. Bed and pillows are not comfortable, rock hard. Staff were good. They seem to be very busy and not enough people for what’s required from them. Views are amazing and best part of this stay. Also the old building is really cool to stay in. Overall an ok stay.

We stayed in the pods. It is not loch view. They are in a garden. So there is no view other than the pods. The bathroom are so small so you have to remember to take the loo roll out before you shower because they will get wet. Dinner was ok. And staff were good :)

This was a beautiful surprise. We needed a one night stay in the area and I booked this place. I wished we stayed longer. The location is excellent. The property surrounding is well maintained and beautiful. The hotel, restaurant, and room are cozy and welcoming. I even joked that if I ever decide to get married, I want it to be here.
