A beautifully maintained Victorian hotel (we stayed in the older part). Lovely lounge and pub. The room was very clean and spacious. The town has loads of restaurants and shops within walking distance of the hotel and views of the loch are spectacular. Highly recommended!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The breakfast was great with hot food cooked to order. Our quadruple family room was very dated with a strange arrangement of 4 single beds! The games room was similarly very dated and windowless in the basement. It was fine for 1 night, but at the high price, not good value for money. We were certainly expecting better quality rooms from the hotel website photos.
