Everything was amazing. Great service and the experience is well worth it. We stayed there with our whole family. The walk around the grounds was straight out of a Jane Austin novel

What a lovely hotel. We only stopped there for coffee and cake while we moored on the loch but we were pleasantly surprised by both the service and our food. The building and the grounds are lovely, full of character and beautiful views over the loch. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Just a 5 min walk through the woodland are the ruins of the old castle. Plenty of car parking at the hotel, if you are driving.
