the staff were friendly and helpful, a plus.
The bathroom was tiny and felt quite outdated. It didn't exactly inspire confidence in its cleanliness. the shower was especially disappointing. The water pressure was poor.

Charming stay
friendly staff excellent dinner comfortable room
The staff was very friendly, i must say. The dinner was excellent (i especially liked the fish). The rooms were comfortable and clean. I also found the location amazing, very close to the walk near the loch.
The bathroom was quite small, i have to say. The shower pressure was very low. It took a long time to get a shower.
Dining
9/10
The food was particularly good, I think. There was a good choice available for dinner. I noticed the restaurant also provided a children's menu. It is nice for families.
Facilities
10/10
The room was well decorated. I loved the jacuzzi bath in my room, it was a wonderful treat. The staff was helpful and I felt very welcomed upon my arrival.
Location
8/10
The hotel shows its heritage well. The original guest rooms overlook a lawn and get sunshine. The road along the front is fairly quiet, it is an advantage.
