the staff welcomed us warmly. they took great care, we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. the full breakfast was something to remember. the parking was across the road and gave us a great view of the loch.
the music from the bar was loud in our room. it was not easy to sleep. the furniture was basic, with a tired chair and a folding tv table.

The room had a comfortable bed and was very clean. The food was amazing, especially the specials menu. All of the staff were friendly and polite. Michael stood out. The atmosphere in the pub was great, and the variety of beers and spirits was good.
The WiFi signal in the bedroom was very poor. This. It would be useful to have a stronger signal throughout the hotel.
