Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The shower did not work. There was very minimal water pressure and the temperature could not be controlled. I contacted the man on staff that day who I think was the manager but was lying saying he wasn’t and he came to the room and could not fix it. He couldn’t get anyone out to fix it and did not offer us a stay in a different room or anything. They gave us 40 pounds off of our dinner but that’s just not good enough for not having a shower to use during our stay. When I approached the man about it he was very rude to my wife and I and just rushed us away. I have tried many times to contact mamagement through email and phone calls and have not heard anything back even though they said someone will get in touch with me. This is Terrible business practice and the facility should probably be shut down until they can provide basic stay needs.

Enjoyable enough stay.

Comfortable enough hotel, older building so a bit creaky and thin walls (could clearly hear people in adjacent room). Nice bar, breakfast good with nice view of the Loch. friendly staff. Check-in at 4pm is too late, needs to be a hour earlier like most other hotels.

Cosy haven in the storm

Arrived just before Storm Ashley hit so it was lovely to be inside and cosy whilst the storm raged outside. Staff were really helpful and friendly with us and our dog. Enjoyed a delicious meal with particularly delicious desserts of sticky toffee pudding, cheesecake & tablet icecream

The bar a restaurant are lovely, delicious and the staff was great. The hotel however, was ok. Not too good not too bad. The bathroom light turns on by pulling a cable. Through the bathroom we could hear our room neighbors like they were in the same room and I’m guessing they did too. We did enjoy our stay. Way too expensive for the experience.
