The balcony view and the property are the primary reasons to stay here. Despite rainy cool weather it was so great just to have tea (or wine) on the balcony. One if the best views I've ever enjoyed. The food was very good, and one of us is vegan.

View to die for

This was part of a two stage trip and after a 6 hour drive we entered the pleasant good sized car park. The room we were given was very nice and a decent size. The meals were excellent and brought to us in good time, including a ver good breakfast. Best of all were the staff who were pleasant and efficient throughout.

Room, view & food - Amazing!!

Amazing room, with amazing views! We stayed in the sea view lodge that overlooked the loch and had highland cows right outside. The food was amazing, both myself and partner had the chicken balmoral, it was the best chicken balmoral I’ve ever had. Breakfast was excellent also. Overall great night away and would definitely stay again, worth every penny and probably more.

Perfect stay in paradise

Totally wonderful, the view from the dining hall was stunning. The staff were great and so helpful. It was a birthday treat for my wife, and there was a lovely box of chocolates from the hotel in our room, which was a lovely gesture. The food was exquisite, so all in all it was a perfect few days in paradise 🙂🙂

Lovely views

Lovely hotel, the view really makes it. Doesnt look like much when you drive up but the view on the other side is beautiful. Only odd thing was the water in the bathroom runs a tea colour. Although its clean... makes for an odd bath. Food in the restaurant was lovely. We liked that you can mix and match from main and bistro menu.

This is an absolute gem of a hotel set in a stunning location. Peace, quiet, tranquility, incredible views, beautiful grounds. Our balcony room overlooking the shore was spacious and comfortable.
