We stayed in two different rooms. The first room was on the top floor and very small with a slanted ceiling and the bed was a small double bed so we weren’t that comfortable. The second night we stayed in one of the bigger deluxe rooms on the first floor, which was much nicer. The dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the service was excellent.
Very nice experience. Was a great property with nice people
Restaurant was very good enjoyed our dinner
rooms are good comfortable beds and pillows
would defiantly stay again
A first class historic property in a beautiful location. A very imaginative chef produced dishes that were a joy to look at and had flavour combinations that were unique and very delicious.
Mike, behind the bar, was so knowledgeable. He helped make our evening enjoyable trying new whiskeys and sharing his expertise.
Breakfast and breakfast service was wonderful.
Lovely old grand building in an a beautiful setting- lochside with views to beat any!
Friendly staff, great meal. A great location to explore some unique countryside from.
Large enough to feel like a well equipped hotel, but small enough to feel exclusive and special.
Older room, but felt authentic and comfortable.

It was practically perfect. Loved it. The lodge is such a lovely place with a superb setting. Delicious food. Which we’d stayed a week.
Lovely old property with sweeping views of the water. Room was comfortable. Had dinner and breakfast at the lodge for our stay.
I thought the property was a bit pricey overall. But service and location was ideal for our journey.
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, the host was very welcoming and was very considerate of our 7 year old, he arranged for a special meal for him after we arrived. Also, thank you Allister for the great drinks and banter!
Lovely old Hunting Lodge, downstairs sitting rooms and restaurant well appointed. Our room was nice although only view of the back gardens and Falconry and the room was on the small side. Next time I would upgrade to a larger room with a view of the Loch. The property the Hotel is situated in is stunning for gardens and views. Meal at Restaurant was A Grade and would highly recommend the food.
A lovely lodge hotel in a beautiful setting. Plentiful parking and spacious rooms. Nice lounge and snooker room to relax if you didn’t want to stay in your room.
If arriving by night, it’s hard to spot the hotel sign at the side of the road so it’s easy to drive straight past.
The hotel restaurant serves nicely presented and beautifully cooked local produce. The menu is a little limited and pricey but the staff were friendly.
Well this is the first poor review I’ve ever written.
The room rate is reasonable based on the overall hotel but our room and the bed was very small room compared with all our other experiences in the highlands this week. Our bathroom looked clean but smell of faeces was disgusting, We had pre-booked dinner and stayed for breakfast it was very expensive and poor value. I agree with other travellers that the dining experience is awkward and the dinner staff exacerbated this. We ate late due to availability of spaces and the staff reset tables for breakfast whilst we were eating our main course. This made us feel rushed and burdensome. One staff member serving drinks etc wasn’t welcoming and his manner aloof (maybe he was just having a bad day!) Again stark contrast to the other hotels we’d stayed during our week in the Highlands.
Having said all that this is a stunning house, the views from the hotel and the main communal rooms are beautiful. We were able to watch seals from the lawns.
Overall though, disappointing I’m afraid
Seemed very expensive for a small room at £190 with no breakfast. For a NC500 overnight stay dinner looked very expensive at £60 a head. Not a lot of other food options.
Lovely property in a beautiful spot but you pay for it and for these prices it needs a bit more attention to detail.
The property was beautiful, situated in a stunning location. The staff was courteous, friendly and helpful, and the food was the best we have had on this trip! We would absolutely return to these accommodations anytime we have the opportunity!
A really warm comfortable and inviting place to stay and explore. Wonderful staff and chef. They cared for us with genuine hospitality. Wish we could have stayed much longer.
Amazing hotel, beautiful food, friendly staff. Only one problem... we didn't stay longer.

This Is an overpriced hotel. This is not a 4 star hotel at all, so the rooms, hotel conditions and food served do not match the price you pay for.
Most of the rooms are small and some are really not very accessible with suitcases.
There are more options around that have a much better ratio quality/price
