10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for a week, our second visit. The room was as good as before although the bed is a bit soft for us, and apart from that it was very comfortable. The hotel has a position which gives the most perfect view over the loch and the paddocks with the local Highland cows with their goat friends. The staff are excellent and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Food is about as good as you can get with a decent choice. We would highly recommend staying here, and we will book again for next year."

"Lovely location, room enough for 2 people and had everything we needed. Sitting onside looking over the waters to Bute was very peaceful, had a very relaxing week. Hosts were available if needed but did not intrude. Only suggestion would be to swop out tv for a freely Internet TV as Internet very good on the premises and existing TV not good for reliableconsistent reception got no signal quite often in the evenings."
