Perfect. We needed a relaxing, quiet and no hassle getaway for a few days and this was it.
Pros:

The position across the road from the sea loch affords wonderful views from anywhere on the front of the property and from our bedroom window. The front gardens are beautifully kept.
All of the common areas in the hotel are in great shape and give an air of high quality.
Our bedroom was immaculately decorated with a similarly high quality feel. The hotel team were all welcoming and friendly. We ate twice in the restaurant which fully deserves its trip adviser rating.

Cons:

Can’t think of anything.

Convenient
Pros:

Nice site and view and generally nice staff save at our arrival. They guy at the reception (not the one welcoming outside but inside at the desk) was particularly not welcoming which was a pity and gave us the wrong impression compared to all other staff members.

Cons:

One staff member particularly not welcoming which + family rooms not next to each other + rooms not organised for families. All in all impression that this was not kids friendly.

Beaucoup trop cher - pas à la hauteur
Pros:

La liteire , la vue sur le lac (mais pas de la chambre !)

Cons:

Hors de prix - comfortable mais chambre vieillotte. Pas de mini frigo.
Mal insonorisé. Restaurant hors de prix pour la qualité des plats et du service. Service peu souriant et prétentieux. Petit dej médiocre et hors de prix aussi. Nous avons attendu presque 30 minutes pour avoir notre breakfast. Et en plus, il faut réservé l’heure du petit dej à l’avance. Bref, 650eu pour 2 nuits, un resto pour 2 et un petit dej pour 2!

Very nice hotel, with excellent service and staff going the extra mile
Pros:

Food Dinner and breakfast were excellent with great service. The bar and lounge are very cosy, parking is easy. Staff is very professional and friendly, they really made our stay memorable.

Cons:

A bit expensive. Location is a bit isolated and remote so if not by car hard to get to, however this is what you look for travelling to the highlands.
