Pros:

Beautiful, tastefully decorated hotel in a stunning location.

Cons:

The breakfast wasn't great. Perhaps it was just a bad choice but the eggs benedict and eggs royale were average.

Perfect for a relaxing short break!
Pros:

Very good food - we enjoyed dinner, breakfast and the enormous afternoon tea - and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous location, handy for Oban but nice and quiet.

We will be back.
Pros:

The entire vibe of the hotel is one of calm escape. The setting was idyllic. The staff were available but not intrusive; courteous and professional. The dining experience was upscale, gourmet and more than reasonably priced. The room was luxurious right down to the sheets. Finally, access to the privately reserved hot tub was the perfect capstone for our get away.

Perfect from start to finish! Did not want to leave!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and special. The hotel was spotless and as we entered we were greeted with a warm reception and a burning log fire. Possibly the best greeting I’ve ever had at any hotel in the world!

Every single staff member was exceptional. Friendly but super professional. Familiar but respectful.

The food was lovely and all locally sourced.

We are already planning a return visit!

Cons:

Nothing!
