A lovely hotel set in beautiful and peaceful surroundings, offering a great opportunity to relax. Our room was great, offered lots of amenities and had a wonderful view across the loch. The service was first class throughout the hotel with extremely attentive, friendly and supportive staff. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable weekend away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Fabulous place in a beautiful setting. Staff were very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with excellent storage and a lovely en-suite shower room. We were fortunate that the weather was good enough that the walk from the room (a Woodland lodge) to the hotel for meals was pleasant but an umbrella as provided jut in case! We enjoyed using the pool and thermal suite which was never busy. The food was excellent and there was lots of choice at breakfast.
