Gregory United States of America

Outstanding dinner. Tried both the a la carte menu one night and the taster menu the next and both were excellent. Good wine selection.

Jeremy United Kingdom

Everything. Fantastic Staff. Food excellent. Exceptional room

John United Kingdom

The standard room was a good size and comfortable - good value for money. The hotel is very well maintained and the views over the lake from the dining room are lovely and just so peaceful. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very friendly.

Claire United Kingdom

Jus the best location in a quiet loch. Peaceful and secluded.

Deborah United Kingdom

We were warmly welcomed by Ismay and Alister. Their generosity of good spirits was appreciated after a long day. The room and bed was super comfy. The house reflects the patina of a bygone era beautifully. We could have looked at the harbor happily for days. There were so many amenities we would’ve liked to take advantage of. The staff was amazing. We had the best dinner of our trip in the restaurant. Their haggis was amazing! Breakfast was great. We hated to leave.

John United States of America

The Lodge itself was Perfect. Everything you want.... clean... handsomely decorated.... original detail of the woodwork and structure. My spouse wanted to see seals.....call central casting they have an indigenous seal colony!!! Really!!!! The breakfast was one of the best of the trip and dinner was pretty good!!!! The room #1 was big and comfortable. It’s view is the garden, parking lot and of the water.

  • I am 77 and have lost an arm and a leg in an accident so I am in a lightweight electric portable wheelchair. My wife is relatively able-bodied. We are travelling by car. Have you a wheelchair fully accessible room that is suitable for us, staying for probably 3 nights in late June or early July?

    HI, Unfortunately we dont have a wheelchair accessible room due to the building being an old hunting lodge. We dont have any lift due to the design of the building. Really sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Thank you for getting in touch.

  • Dear Sir / Madam, I'm looking to stay with you next month. Would it be possible to have a single room with 2 x beds rather than 1 x double? A sofa bed (or likewise) would be perfect as a 2nd bed if this is possible? If so, I'll book today, I'm looking at an evening later next month. Best, Robert

    Dear Sir/Madam. Our superior rooms with a sea view are able to be made into a twin room.
