My Second visit to this Hotel, and hopefully I will return. The Staff are attentive and friendly. A nice Bar and restaurant. The Hotel is a few steps away from the Main Street. My Room overlooked the Loch and was clean, and quiet.

Loved our room with view of the Loch. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Great breakfast and location perfect. The only fault was the weak pressure on the shower.
