a decent stay
loch view spacious room helpful staff bright downlights no blind sleep disruption
the room offered a lovely view over the loch. it was spacious and comfortable, a junior suite sea view. the staff were fantastic, especially amanda and morag, who were helpful . the food was also tasty, and i enjoyed the variety of options available.
The bathroom lights were a major issue at night. bright downlights came on whenever the door opened and we could not turn them off. this flooded the bedroom with light and disrupted sleep. the window in the bathroom had frosted glass but no blind. It made us uncomfortable.

a haven by the loch
picturesque sight harmonious colours crafted course cosy atmosphere
The gardens stretched beautifully to the loch, a very picturesque sight. the room decor showed great attention to detail, i noticed fine fabrics and harmonious colours. dinner in the restaurant was good. Each course seemed like a carefully crafted piece of art. The lounges offered a wonderfully cosy atmosphere both before and after our meal.
the car park was occasionally very busy, making it a small challenge to find a space close to the entrance, particularly during peak hours.

The staff helped us with our bags upon arrival. The room had cozy décor. The lounge included a log fire (very inviting).
The walls seemed quite thin (I could hear noises from other rooms). The jacuzzi was out of order . I thought the location was a bit far from the city center.
