Comfortable, grand feeling Scottish hotel - beautiful setting overlooking Loch
Pros:

The staff were friendly and accommodating. The location and feel of the hotel was beautiful and relaxing. Fires & candles on around communal areas made it feel cosy and warm. The sitting rooms, bar are decorated well and feel comfortable with enough space for small or larger groups. Super relaxing spaces. Games and books available if needed.
Meals were nice but if you are staying for a few days choice on menu is not huge - Tarbert is 5 mins drive away if you are looking for shops or eating options.

Walk around the hotel and to the shore is beautiful (there's a wee map) but be careful in some weathers are it was slippy due to leaves, mud in areas. We spotted seals when my wee boy was skimming stones and he also enjoyed throwing sticks over the bridge into the wild river.

Bathroom toiletries were nice and bed comfortable - nice touch having a sofa so we could gather as a family in room.

Cons:

The room was clean but there were cobwebs on the ceiling and our bathroom floor wasn't super clean.

The walled garden could be beautiful but understand it's a big commitment! Cost!

Could be more choice of meal options when staying over a few days - would have been nice to enjoy more meals in the hotel with family.

Bien sauf la literie
Pros:

L'hôtel est magnifique et la salle de petit dejeuner vaut le détour.

Cons:

Un côté du matelas est très affaissé par conséquent la nuit a été très inconfortable. Peut-être est-il temps de remplacer la literie ?

Sehr gemütliches Hotel, aber nicht ganz sauber.
Pros:

Das Hotel war unglaublich gemütlich und der offene Kamin lud zum Verweilen ein. Man hatte einen tollen Ausblick aus dem Restaurant und das Frühstück war gut.
Es gab Parkplätze direkt vor der Tür und die Lage war sehr ruhig und angenehm.

Cons:

Leider war das Zimmer nicht sauber.
Die Toilette hatte noch Gebrauchsspuren und auch der Boden war nicht gut gewischt. Im Zimmer waren viele Spinnweben und auf den Möbeln (vor allem den Nachttischen) war Staub angesammelt.
Direkt vor dem Fenster lag ebenso eine leere Plastikflasche auf dem Vordach. Leider konnte man das Fenster lediglich paar Zentimeter öffnen, sonst hätte ich sie entfernt.

Great location. Facilities and interior aged and tired. Disappointing overall considering our bill for one night was ove
Pros:

Great location and surrounding area

Cons:

We were asked 4 times if we had placed our breakfast order, which we had, only to be told after a 30 min wait that it had been lost.
With only a handful of table in, this was concerning.
The on duty manager (who took our order) disappeared. No apology. Just further wait and the last ones in restaurant whilst they set up for lunch/dinner all around us. Very uncomfortable.

Reception couldn’t have cared less when we checked out, just wanted paid.

A country manor in a beautiful location
Pros:

It is a beautiful old building, the downstairs rooms were lovely & grand - the library, drawing room, bar and dining room. The dining room has a spectacular view and the property has a stunning garden. The bathroom in our room was modern and clean. The food in the dining room was amazing, they have a very good chef! The dining staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good and there was a lot of choice.

Cons:

The food was amazing but restaurant prices were very expensive. The hot water wasn't working in the morning so we had to have cold showers because apparently 'the boilers had gone out overnight' and we were not offered any compensation for this inconvenience. There were wasps in our room, and our travelling buddies noted mould stain marks on one of their bed pillows. The mattresses were firm, and pillows were foam pillows (not feather), bedlinen was white, but they could have better quality thread count bed linen. We noted the upstairs hallway/passages seemed a bit tired and in need of re-painting.
