Pros:

A bit pricy, but nothing else was available. This is an excellent place to stay. Nice rooms, and bathroom with bath tube. Excellent views form the bedroom onto the sea. The restaurant is very good.

I've stayed before. It is a lovely homely hotel in a beautiful location. Everything was brilliant though I thought the staff were a little overworked.

Cons:

In the evening some other visitors were a bit noisy which is inappropriate in a small place.p

Location was awesome, parking was great. Dog friendly.

They were short staffed, but they were doing all they could to accommodate guests. Unfortunately the rooms we had did not have the loch view, yet cost the same.

Too short staffed The staff they have working for them deserve a medal they work so hard and keep smiling even though th
Pros:

We stayed 2 nights The young staff work extremely hard as it is obvious they are really understaffed to do the amount of work they are expected to do. We never saw the owner once during our visit

Cons:

Breakfast took far too long Again due to only one person serving when the restaurant was full of both guests and outside clientele
