A special mini-moon stay in a beautiful hotel
Pros:

The views are stunning and the restaurant and lounge were lovely to sit in. The staff were excellent and couldn’t recommend enough. We were staying here after we had just got married to celebrate, and they really looked after us, even upgrading our room to a Loch view. Thank you for making our mini-moon special!

Cons:

Nothing :)

Superb property with OUTSTANDING staff
Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate and welcome us. The room and furnishings were stunning + the lounge spaces absolutely gorgeous. Playing backgammon by the fireside on a chilly evening with the remaining wine from our supper - heaven! The staff even sorted packed lunches for our early morning exit to Mull.

Beautiful hotel and comfortable stay
Pros:

Great location close to Oban with spectacular views across the loch and lovely hotel garden with seating area which we enjoyed sitting in for a cup of tea. Very comfortable bedroom and great shower, so we had a good night’s sleep.

Cons:

The food was ok in the evening for dinner but not special. Plenty of choices for breakfast in the morning but the cooked breakfast was poor.

Cons:

Non ho dato il massimo solo perché abbiamo avuto una stanza sopra la cucina e l’odore e il rumore delle ventole non ti dava scelta che restare con le finestre chiuse e non hanno l’aria condizionata
