Stunning location
Pros:

The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was delicious, and the sandwiches were well stuffed with fillings. The location is stunning with a private car park and views across the Loch.

Cons:

The mattress was stiff as a board, very uncomfortable. The room didn't have a wardrobe to hang clothes.

Ideal stopover
Pros:

Excellent location with great views. Ample parking. Room was located on the Loch side and the road very quiet during the night.
Staff were very friendly and check in was done at the bar. Simple explanation of all the timings and advice about menu.
Food was well presented and reasonably priced.

Cons:

The radiator wasn't working in the room so we were supplied with a heater. Room was a little dated but comfortable
