It was ok
Pros:

It was central and we had a good meal in the restaurant

Cons:

We were in a 2 bedroom apartment.
The 2nd bedroom was very small and the shared bathroom was tiny.
There was a large kitchen/dining/living area upstairs,which was great.
It was ok for two nights,but I wouldn’t want to be staying for longer.

Fabulous retreat right on the loch.
Pros:

Great stay - lovely location, food was very good and great hospitality.

Cons:

A little odd being put in a disabled room but otherwise standard was great. The only concerning thing was you couldn’t put food on your hotel bill and payments had to be made immediately. There was a sense of distrust that you would not pay your bill. Other than that, highly recommended.

Housekeeping need glasses. Hairs in bottom of shower tray, lots of dust in all areas and shampoo dispenser had not been used in so long that the first few squirts had changed colour due to rust.
