i stayed in the skye suite. it was very comfortable (i slept like a log!). the restaurant had a loch view. dinner was also very good there.
the bar did not open until 5 pm. i wanted a glass of wine earlier in the day and that wasn't possible. the lady at reception was helpful, but i would have liked an earlier drink.
