amazing stay!

free upgradecomfortable bedgood roomhigh price

i had booked two rooms and i received upgrades upon arrival. i was so fortunate to witness another magnificent sunrise. the beds were amazingly comfortable and the rooms good! i really did feel right at home. the bed was even more comfortable than my own!

i did notice the price seemed quite high for what was included, even with the comfortable accommodations. perhaps a review of pricing could improve guest satisfaction.

amazing STAY, LOVED it!

cozy hutgreat staffdecent breakfastamazing views

The staff was GREAT! The upgrade to a shepherd's hut was super cozy for me and my dog. The views were something else. Breakfast was pretty decent and it had great size tents and was very comfortable.

the room I stayed in was quite TINY, more like a campsite with a house. the fish and chips I ordered tasted like a cheap supermarket meal.

Dining

The breakfast offers good options. It includes decent servings of cereal and a choice of hot beverages. The chicken fillet burger was tasty, I liked it a lot, and the dining area was always clean.

Location

The location is scenic just off the west highland way. The ROAD into the hotel has recently been laid down, driving on it was super easy. This place is perfect for nature lovers, near plenty of trails.
