Hands down my favorite hotel during my trip. On the day of my check-in, I made dinner reservations and unfortunately I ran into car trouble so I was going to miss dinner hours by 20 minutes. Immediately when I got to check in, they offered to make me a plate even though the kitchen was closed. 10/10 hotel! I’ll be visiting again

The balcony view and the property are the primary reasons to stay here. Despite rainy cool weather it was so great just to have tea (or wine) on the balcony. One if the best views I've ever enjoyed. The food was very good, and one of us is vegan.

View to die for

This was part of a two stage trip and after a 6 hour drive we entered the pleasant good sized car park. The room we were given was very nice and a decent size. The meals were excellent and brought to us in good time, including a ver good breakfast. Best of all were the staff who were pleasant and efficient throughout.

Hotel with amazing views

Amazing views from restaurant. Bar slightly unusual to have a shop at one side. It didn’t feel overly cozy. Room was comfortable and in good condition. Big choice and selection in menu for dinner in restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner but we’d had more enjoyable meals in smaller venues. The hotel was busy at dinner time. The staff were always polite and professional. Overall it was a nice stay,but had an atmosphere that meant I didn’t really feel relaxed somehow.

Room, view & food - Amazing!!

Amazing room, with amazing views! We stayed in the sea view lodge that overlooked the loch and had highland cows right outside. The food was amazing, both myself and partner had the chicken balmoral, it was the best chicken balmoral I’ve ever had. Breakfast was excellent also. Overall great night away and would definitely stay again, worth every penny and probably more.

Lovely views

Lovely hotel, the view really makes it. Doesnt look like much when you drive up but the view on the other side is beautiful. Only odd thing was the water in the bathroom runs a tea colour. Although its clean... makes for an odd bath. Food in the restaurant was lovely. We liked that you can mix and match from main and bistro menu.
