Reviews and Ratings
What a delightful stay! The hotel is attached to a lovely hotel, with welcoming owners and staff. My room was a great size with a great view of Loch Sunart and I enjoyed a fresh supply of lovely biscuits every day. The only downside was the lack of more services available to visitors.
The hotel is located in a stunning, quiet area overlooking the loch, providing a peaceful and untouristy atmosphere. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, though may be a bit tight for larger guests or those with disabilities. The helpful and accommodating staff ensure a relaxing stay, although a small remark during dining dampened the experience. A light and bright conservatory adds charm to the location. It's a lovely spot for exploring and unwinding, with a cozy pub and restaurant next door.
The hotel offers fantastic local art in the rooms accessed through a unique lockable door. The space might be a bit tight for larger individuals, so it's worth checking for more roomy accommodations. Storage is a bit lacking, but the decor is splendid. Situated on the first floor with stairs access 'around the back'.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a great view of the Loch; I only wished I had stayed longer. The service was welcoming, friendly, and very helpful, and the location overlooking Loch Sunart was excellent. The dining experience was lovely and fresh, although there was a minor issue with the bread. Overall, a great value for money experience.
The hotel offers stunning views over the loch and a cozy lounge area, perfect as a bolt hole in case of inclement weather. The service provided by the friendly owners was stellar, ensuring we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location, though quiet and untouristy, offers breathtaking scenery, but would benefit from more available services for visitors.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with nice rooms offering stunning views over the loch. The cleanliness and comfort were excellent, although the space might be tight for larger individuals. The friendly service and wonderful location overlooking Loch Sunart made my experience very pleasant.
