a romantic lochside escape

lochside locationattentive staffwildlife viewbreakfast absence

The lochside location is perfect.. it offered beautiful views regardless of weather. the staff was very attentive to all needs. we particularly appreciated the 'hare today' room. It overlooked bird feeders where wildlife gathered. we saw red squirrels and many birds.

only one coffee mug was provided in the room.
