Lovely Little Touches
The facility is an old lodge that has been refurbished into a hotel. They have managed to keep the fine characteristics that make the place so special. There are an abundance of nooks and crannies that make for interesting conversation.

A Great Getaway
The hotel is located in a beautiful, scenic location. It's sits directly on the Loch shore with awesome views. The environment is a great escape from the hustle 'n' bustle of city life. It's takes a while to get to the facility; however, it's well worth it if your intention is to take a break and relax.

Comfortable Dining Great Food
The dining area is quaint and cosy and the food is worth mentioning. The menu includes fresh seafood and the home made raspberry panacottas are not to be missed. After your meal, have a single espresso to top it off. The hotel caters to special dietary requirements as well. There is a pool table at the bar.

No Where Land
If you are looking for excitement and entertainment, this is not the place for you. The area is quiet and for relaxation. Actually, there's nothing much in the area except the hotel and nature, which is not a bad thing if that's what you are looking for.

Value For Money?
Paying a high price for accommodation creates great expectations. The facility is lovely; however, if you have been around to places better equipped, newer and more spacious, you may feel you are not getting value for money.

Browse The Web Or The Scenery?
The Wi-Fi could be better. Then again, this is the type of place you come to enjoy the scenery not surf on the web all day!
