The hotel is dated but the setting is amazing. The view from our room made anything else not matter
3-night trip

8/10

The location is very good. apartment is average, old looking and dark. stairs leading up to the apartment was unclean and filthy. Front door key was fiddly and difficult to open most of the times. Sauna was nice and the most important plus point in the apartment.

The self catering accommodation was great for our family of four. Two bedrooms, three bathrooms with a lovely balcony and view across the water. The weather was wonderful which made our stay really special. The accommodation was excellent value for money given we visited during the Easter break, we are already planning when to head back. Lots of things to do including lovely walks, boat trips and even some wild swimming although the water was cold as we were told by some local swimmers that the water temp was impacted by melted snow peaks. Expect it to be at a more agreeable temperature from May. Food at the hotel seemed expensive so we ate locally or dined in as there was a full kitchen. Lots of places to visit to enjoy eating out with the Faerie Tree Inn and their chicken fajitas being a particular highlight. The pool on site was great for families but filled up quickly, there were points where it felt too busy to enjoy but it didn’t stop us visiting it every day! Spa treatment options available. I indulged in a luxurious facial which I would highly recommend. We had a lovely break, plenty of time for adventure and relaxation. Would recommend.

Fantastic views, reception and lounge area very nice to have drinks and food in. Staff very friendly. Very comfortable bed. Elements of our apartment have been upgraded, but general updates across the property are needed. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful loch side views from this gorgeous hotel. It’s a little run down in parts and stair well etc not the cleanest but the room is gorgeous, big and clean. The dinner room is beautiful, fantastic quality food and service. The swimming pool is gorgeous and the grounds are very picturesque. We had the best time! However food and activities are pricey

Very nice place to relax and enjoy time with family. We had a wonderful view over the loch. The rooms furnitures are old, and the floor makes a squeaky noise when walking around the rooms.

Beautiful view from apartment, plenty space but very much in need of refurbishment and maintenance. No recycling of waste apparent, one bin for everything.

Gorgeous grounds and surrounding area. Really peaceful and well placed for scenery. Good on sight playing for children and lovely even if you don’t leave the grounds. The apartments are super spacious and love the indoor sauna and hot tub. A little cold and old fashioned but adds charm. Absolutely love coming here with my family for a little break from the city. Hoping to get a chance to visit in the summer because otherwise it’s consistently foggy and damp being right opposite the loch. This, however, is charming and atmospheric if you like that kind of thing.

Family break with dog. Apartment was excellent but well used/dated but the view over the loch made up for this. Recycling could be better. We previously stayed in the hotel but this served us better this time with self catering.

Stayed in one of the apartments, this is a wonderful place to visit if you just want to be detached from the real world for a few days. The hotel and spa areas were in great order. The only negative for me was the carpet in our apartment was a bit grubby in places - spills that had not been cleaned. Perhaps waiting for the winter cleaning/maintenance programme to commence. Not enough to put me off, will be back in a few months.

There was really old dried up dog poo in the apartment on the carpet. The hotel restaurant was fully booked and there was no water so no coffee, no showers and no pool
