Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a serene wooded park area with views of the loch, offering a tranquil stay among nature. The friendly staff provide good service, though some areas seemed unapproachable. The location is family-friendly, but proximity to an amusement park can lead to noise disturbances. The dining experience presents both positive and negative aspects, with delicious steaks but some issues with certain food items. Overall, a cozy stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers beautiful views of the loch but falls short on service and dining. The location is perfect for nature lovers but lacks accessibility features. Rooms are cozy and clean with single beds and disabled access. The service could be more attentive and welcoming. Dining options are limited with some issues. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel is peacefully nestled in a lovely country park next to the calming loch. The rooms offer stunning views but are somewhat cramped due to the double sofa bed. The service, particularly from the receptionist Gary, was warm and inviting, yet some staff seemed distant. The facilities are adequate, catering to basic needs.
