Staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Our room was warm, clean and comfortable with a lovely view over the loch. The breakfast selection was good and again there was a great view of the loch from the breakfast room.
Good breakfast, good dinner
Large clean room comfortable bed
Walls are thin we could hear on one side people talking the other side a person snoring and above people thumping about

It’s okay to stay one night. It’s hard to find the place at night because GPS doesn’t recognize the location.
Breakfast was nice , male staff particularly rude & unfriendly maybe would benefit from some additional training, canned Guinness is a no no too particular when you have a tap on the bar top !!!
