The hotel offers cozy rooms with incredibly comfy king-size beds, but they may not match the photos. The service is top-notch with first-class hospitality and friendly and helpful staff who even offered a packed breakfast. The location is gorgeous, perfect for exploring the west coast but quite remote next to the loch. The dining experience is good, although limited options, and clearly flagged due to challenges in the kitchen. Despite the challenges, the value for money was decent, averaging around £135 a night for two without breakfast. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor room discrepancies and dining challenges.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit hit and miss – the first one I stayed in was small and dingy with some issues, but the second one was a deluxe double and much better. The service was mostly friendly and accommodating, though one staff member seemed quite rushed. The location was beautiful, especially with views of the loch and luxury pods. Dining was a letdown at times, but the fresh dishes were enjoyable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious but a bit noisy due to their proximity to the bar until late at night. The check-out process left a sour note as they tried to overcharge me. Despite being tired, the room was decent overall.

The hotel offered a clean 'Annex Room' with tea and coffee facilities, though a bit tight for the price of around £50. The location next to the loch was beautiful, even in winter, yet slightly overpriced for the room size.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The cozy and comfortable rooms had a nice view of the waterflow in and out of the loch, but being located near the bar's decking area made it noisy with smokers at night. The service was efficient and kind, although communication could be improved. The location offered great views, but there was an issue with trash left overnight. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some breakfast items missing, despite the impressive mountain views. Overall, a stay with both charms and challenges.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The room allocated to me in the annex was lovely, very clean, and comfortable; however, I noticed some maintenance issues like flaking paint and moldy sealant in the bathroom. The service was friendly and welcoming, but it seemed like the staff was overwhelmed and undertrained. The location was superb, offering magnificent views and a friendly atmosphere, though there were a few standout individuals like Ali who truly made my stay special. The dining experience was satisfying with delicious meals, especially the smoked salmon and eggs, giving me a good start for my hiking adventures. The facilities were adequate, though not exceptional, and the overall value for money was reasonable.

The hotel is ideally situated right next to the restaurant and a short distance from the reception. The rooms were spotlessly clean and to our liking, although being above a boiler room caused early waking. Views from room 6 were worth the stairs, offering varied options. Service was exceptional, especially the affordable and delicious dinner. Location, though slightly noisy, overlooks the beautiful loch. Dining had some room for improvement but included a mouth-watering Hungarian beef stew. Overall, great value for the price paid.
