Du charme mais des choses à améliorer.
Pros:

- Nous avons roulé plus de 4h30 en provenance de l'ile de Skye, et la dame nous a attendu jusque 22H30 alors que le check in était jusque 22h max. Cette personne charmante a été absolument adorable de nous attendre.
- Le charme d'un vieil hôtel anglais comme on l'imagine parfois
- Le manager le matin était charmant également
- La jolie petite boutique près de la réception

Cons:

- nous avions sans doute une chambre non rénovée : pourriture sur le rideau de douche, une mite dans la chambre et les voilages des rideaux déchirés
- petit déjeuner la cata : service pas au niveau. On nous amène sans sourciller deux chocolats chauds complètement renversés et tièdes quasi froids. Les jeunes filles qui faisaient le service ont besoin de repartir en formation. Les assiettes de dressage étaient grasses et sales sous la nourriture. on a attendu super longtemps les plats. Dommage.

A wonderful classic country British hotel. Would love to return.
Pros:

Breakfast (and dinner) were excellent.

Cons:

The bed was a single thin mattress on a spring platform. While I expected it to not be comfortable, it was fine for me, adequate for my wife. (Who is more particular.)

Beautiful inn on the edge of Loch Fyne.
Pros:

Excellent location, we hiked in while doing the Cowal and Loch Lomond way. Our room was a little dated but comfortable. Food was excellent with a delicious breakfast and very friendly staff. Very comfortable communal room upstairs with lovely views over the loch.

Cons:

Shower needed updating in our room.
