Pros:

Location was great, weather was hit and miss but that's Scotland for you. When the sun was shining the views were spectacular, we stayed a couple of nights and eat in the restaurant both nights. The food was exceptional. Staff were all friendly and accommodating

Cons:

Bed was a bit soft for my liking but that's personal choice.

Struttura gestita in modo pessimo ed illecito
Cons:

We booked a room for my wife and our Cavalier King puppies, which was declared as a bonus upon booking.
It was confirmed.
Only after the management told us that in order to use the room, which had been booked and paid for in advance for our puppies as well, and confirmed, we would have to cooperate by paying double the cost of the stay! An absurd and illegal request!
We are still waiting for the refund!

Pros:

Beautiful location, charming feel, lovely staff, grassy area on the water to sip drinks on the water watching the sun set. Restaurant and bar with atmosphere. While a little further away from sites of the island it wasn’t and issue at all.

Cons:

Nothing. It’s old so the room was a bit poky with a small bathroom. But you are not in your room much.

Teurer Reinfall mit schlaflosen Nächten für uns
Cons:

Für den Preis von 685 € für 2 Nächte OHNE Frühstück haben wir uns mehr erwartet. Frühstück pro Person und Tag nochmals 20 €, in Summe also 80 €, damit wären wir bei 765 € für eine Bruchbude.
Völlig abgewohnt und schmuddelig das Inventar und Teppichboden.
Bett nicht angenehm.
Hellhörig schon bei normalem Kommen und Gehen und katastrophal, wenn um 23 Uhr mehrere Mitarbeiter eine Tür aufzubrechen (sich lautstark gemeinsam gegen die Tür werfen!) versuchen, weil sich die Tür nicht öffnen lässt.. Auch hier ein unbrauchbares System!
Einstieg zum Duschen über einen hohen Badewannenrand selbst für große Menschen gefährlich.
Beleuchtung miserabel, zu schwach um lesen zu können.
Der Wasserkocher gehört auch gereinigt/entkalkt.
Achtung: die Parkplätze sind direkt unterhalb der Fenster und die ankommenden und abfahren den Autos stören den Schlaf, sofern man einzuschlafen geschafft haben sollte.
Einzig die Lage ist wunderschön.
