Lovely location and rooms friendly staff
Pros:

Hotel is in beautiful location lovely rooms and nice pool. Staff were friendly good menu and wine selections

Cons:

You had to book in for an hour for the pool which was not ideal. Our brothers wedding meal was not available until 5pm so all guests had to find something to do for 2 hours. Our meal on first night very bland no seasoning fortunatley wedding meal better. When returned just about 11pm found bar all closed so no drinks available? Another guest showed us how to get into reception using keycard? Not very helpful really

Pros:

Exceptionally clean room. Maid service every day.
High standard carried throughout hotel.
Modern, contemporary and well thought out interior throughout hotel
Sea view and walks.
Peaceful and comfortable.
Menu has a varied choice, more than enough to keep us interested for our two night stay.
We were looking for an alternative to Auchrannie, too expensive now, and we have found it here in Kinloch😊👍

Cons:

A small fridge would be useful especially for cold drinks during summer.

Great food, service and location. Will definitely return.
Pros:

Because of the dog, we had a table set up in a lounge for all our meals. Excellent service. And the same menu

Cons:

Unfortunately for us and the hotel, the hot water system was not working for first evening and morning. Fixed for the 2nd night.
