Our room overlooked the loch with a couple of comfy chairs to sit and enjoy the view. The bed was comfortable and there was the usual kettle and tea/coffee. The shower in the bathroom leaked onto the floor a bit and the loo didn't flush easily, but it was a lovely room. Staff friendly and helpful with a good breakfast.

My wife and I were stranded motorists at a nearby auto park with a flat tire, awaiting help from a local garage. The staff from the hotel picked us up and brought us to the lodge, then later, returned me to pick up the car. Above and beyond hospitality!

For a hotel with an amazing view our room looked out over the back of the property and of the garbage. Our reservation didn’t include dinner or breakfast but the restaurant menu looked just average. The bed was smaller than expected and only one pillow per person. The room was okay for the price but I wish we had stayed somewhere else and paid more.

This place needs to be shut down and thoroughly cleaned and maintenance needs to be done. The shower door was not the easiest to open and close, water was everywhere, the place was mouldy and absolutely filthy. The door to the ensuite is a death trap too. The dust throughout the place was everywhere. The beds were hard and lumpy. We ate there once the food was okay. But after seeing the state of the rooms we ate elsewhere. The place stunk and there was oil burners everywhere to obviously hide the smell. I recommend giving this place a wide birth and the price was an absurd amount of money for what you’re offering. They clearly don’t care about the business. As it’s a perfect spot for a premium price. But the best thing about our stay was leaving. I have never left a bad review but this place deserves it.
