Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Really enjoyed my stay. Staff were great and the food was lovely. Didn't get a chance to check out the amenities.
Our room was large and well-appointed. The hotel property is on a lake, and our delicious breakfast was served in a dining room with great views of both the gardens and the lake beyond.
The spa facilities were a treat, and the evening meals were excellent. The breakfast options were quite extensive, but the service could have been better.
The views were very beautiful as was the decor throughout and the room (deluxe king room) was huge. The lamb in the restaurant was the best meal of my life. 10/10
Fabulous hotel. Lovely grounds. Plenty of parking great location with fab views of the loch.
Staff and service are second to none. Very comfortable and cosy hotel. Wonderful pool and spa.
Plenty to do.
Staff went above and beyond for my mother who was poorly- they drove for her prescription for an hour there and an hour back and checked in on her all the time. I have never known staff to be so considerate and friendly. They alone are worth coming back to this hotel for. Thank you.
Beautiful hotel. Comfortable, high quality with lovely staff.

Staff were amazing - our children had an amazing experience. Really appreciated how the hotel staff delivered santa stockings and hand written cards to our room for the Christmas day.
The hotel was super dog friendly. It was lovely seeing so many people bringing their dogs and were permitted at the lounge. Highly recommend this warm welcoming hotel.
