Reasonable hotel with friendly staff.
The hotel is in an exceptional position, with amazing views of the loch. The rooms were comfy, although the bathroom was not the cleanest. The rooms were very very hot. The evening meals are very basic - not the best. The breakfast was ok. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would stay again .

Overnight stay
Comfortable stay in a recently renovated room but parts of hotel looked very shabby, for the cost was still good value. The evening menu had a good choice I went for fish and chips it being Scotland unfortunately very disappointing grey supermarket fish with skinny fries and over cooked peas. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Great staff, mediocre accommodation but reasonable food. Quite a way out of town with scarce bus services.
