    I chose not to pay extra for a view of water and regretted that. Our room number 15 was lovely but looked over house and kids next door and the septic tanks For 1 new got this was no issue but next time would choose differently

    The PERFECT country house hotel. Beautiful setting, friendly helpful staff , lovely room and a delicious breakfast

    We felt the hotel staff (who were great) were rushed off their feet. They need to employ more people.

    All of the staff were great: really kind and very helpful. Our room was very pleasant.

    Very small things. Not enough bread with dinner and water not on the table although staff were happy to provide this. Felt the cost for the dog per night was a bit expensive

    Lovely room. Fantastic comfy bed. Friendly staff Nice dog bed and bowl provided.

    Everything was great, perhaps a bit expensive but that might be more to blame on our economy than on the hotel...

    The staff was really helpful and nice, but also discrete and welcoming. They prepared us a great lunch to take with us on our excursion to the Isle of Skye and some drinks. Everything went smoothly, everything was clean, it was so peaceful and calm in the hotel and in our room. We had a great room, the beds were super comfortable, hadn't slept that deep and peacefully in a long time... Great sense of style and class with that traditional Scottish influence. Thank you so much!

    The property was warm enough, but reception room/area was a bit cold even though the fire was lit, just a small thing though.

    Everything was faultless. Amazing chef who was happy to modify the dish - best schnitzel I’ve ever had! Gorgeous art work throughout. The log fires were lit and welcoming.

    I cannot fault this hotel it was fantastic in every respect. The welcome was great, the room was perfect and it's in a superb location loverlooking the loch and close to Oban. Our ferry to Mull had been cancelled and it was exactly what we needed and great value for money. A brilliant stay!

    What could be better would be a night porter. When you are a resident in a hotel of this standard it isn’t quite the thing to be served last orders at 10:30pm and the staff put off the fire especially when you are chatting to other guests. Part of being a hotel resident is choosing when to have a night cap and go to bed. We also think to charge £5 per person for the use of hot tub isn’t the right thing. The facility should be included. The menu doesn’t change and although the food is excellent, the choice won’t suit everyone nor is it extensive. There was no ice cream two nights running despite being a dessert choice on the menu.

    The staff were absolutely fantastic - from the initial warm and friendly welcome from Stephanie to leaving. A special thank you to the chef for the birthday plate and Louise’s wonderful service at dinner.

    They have to change the windows. Not all of them close properly.

    Really nice modern rooms. Nothing to complain about. Big king-size bed. The receptionist showed us the rooms personally and explained everything. Really welcoming We have been there out of the main season and therefore a really good deal.

    Everything , you could tell they are doing renovations but nothing that ruined the views or the hotel inside. The staff were excellent. We didn’t eat there and was only there one night. We did go into the bar the morning just before we checked out for a coffee and they were actually getting it ready for a photo shoot to advertise weddings that they were obviously going to start doing at the hotel. Excellent location for a wedding definitely would recommend.

    There was renovation work going on in the Reception area with dust sheets covering the furniture, although the lounge was still available. I had requested a quiet room but morning and evening I was aware of a lot of moving around in the room above (which I was told was for staff). It was, however, quiet enough through the night. There was only one bedside table and lamp on one side of the king size bed.

    Lovely setting, friendly staff and plenty of parking. Their renovation work so far is looking good. I didn't eat at the hotel so I can't comment on the food.
