“Its remote setting promises tranquility, particularly appreciated given views stretching over pastures to the loch; the older style may evoke the past, but the warm welcome feels decidedly current. The food, particularly the pre-booked evening meals, struck me as a highlight, offering home-cooked style alongside a full English breakfast. A solid choice for those seeking peace and reliably good food.”
