slow servicemissing cutlery
The restaurant service were a real letdown . i had to wait ages to get someone attention just to get soup spoons, that girl just left without thinking. also, when my steak arrived, i was surprised there weren't steak knife, so i had flag down another waiter. and to top it off, the chips were mostly scraps. It was just irritating.

charming loch stay
helpful staffamazing views
the breakfast had lots choice. the service was great, so helpful staff. the location had amazing views to the loch from the courtyard. i swam in the loch, a main reason for my stay.
upon arrival, i had to wait around three minutes for the desk to greet me. they discussed something work related, but did not say hello. everything felt cold and unfriendly.

the location directly faces the loch, a view i savored from the shared patio. my room included a large bed providing ample space. i appreciated the complimentary breakfast, a lovely start to each day.
the digital controls for the radiator were difficult to understand. it took us some time to get the temperature right.
