Nights away

The staff were very plesent and welcoming the accommodation was lovley clean comfortable. The second night of our stay we were celebrating my patners 70th birthday with 8 other friends, we were refused any more drink served to us as we were too loud! If we had been asked to tone it down then we would have, it was a birthday! The way the staff went about it was upsetting and embarrassing that took the shine off our weekend. Apart from that we did enjoy our stay.

I asked for a room with a bath and received a free upgrade to stay in one of the cottages and it was beautiful. What a great space and view of the Loch. Staff were very friendly and the food was delicious as always.
