Extraordinar
Pros:

E un loc care te face sa te simti acasa. Un loc foarte autentic, cu peisaje si oameni minunati. Camerele sunt foarte confortabile si bine echipate. Gazdele sunt niste persoane de nota 1000000. Micul de jun este extraordinar de delicios. Nu am nimic de reprosat. Cred ca e cea mai buna cazare din vacanta noastra de 3 saptamani.

Would stay here again. Small, lovely hotel. Great value. Great breakfast.
Pros:

The room was lovely, clean and modern. We had a gorgeous view from the front of the property overlooking the Loch.
The price was fantastic! For three nights it cost just over £200 for a double room for B&B. Great value
