    The location is superb. We had a dog-friendly room on the ground floor. These have a small private patio looking down to the shore, and across to Scarpa and Jura. The gorgeous Arduaine gardens are adjacent to the hotel. The restaurant is excellent, especially if you enjoy fish. I look forward to returning for a fourth visit!

    We stayed in the extension to the original building, which was ideal with our two small dogs, the decor is now slightly dated as is the bathroom fittings/ tiling. The external veranda woodwork is showing signs of needing a re-decoration. The mattress also could most likely do with replacing. These are intended as minor comments to provide feedback to help the business improve the customer experience. If these items were attended to this would be a superb hotel in all aspects and we will certainly be back.

    Great hotel in fantastic location, superb food, helpful staff, good size room, pet friendly

    Food for evening meal was slightly disappointing and choice on menu was relatively limited. The matting on the balcony was saturated with rain water making it unpleasant. Perhaps the drainage could be improved?

    Bedrooms clean and comfortable with a view you would never tire of.

    Not much we didn’t like, the bathrooms were slightly outdated but everything worked fine, hot water and very clean so no complaints from us!

    The staff were amazing everyone was super welcoming and helpful. The rooms were a good size and perfect for our dogs! The bed was huge and spacious and the bathroom was nice and clean. The balcony areas were an amazing touch and the views were beautiful! This was a lovely stay and we would most definitely come back in a heartbeat. Food was lovely and the grounds were beautiful.

    The beds weren’t the most comfortable, as the double is made up of two twin size beds I could feel the line where they were joined in the middle. We didn’t opt for dinner as it was really expensive, but with the hotel being where it is, I was not surprised at the prices. It would have been nice to have a different option for coffee in the room - as I really don’t like instant coffee, even the coffee bags you can get with ground coffee would have been better.

    The views from the rooms were stunning, a gorgeous view of the Loch. The staff were friendly, and there were highland cows just down from the hotel that you could say hello to. The rooms were nicely designed, and equipped with almost everything you could need. The breakfasts were also delicious - well worth getting up for!

    The noise in the lodges was pretty bad, could hear everything from below and next door which wasn’t ideal. Was awoken early every day with this so no long lies.

    Outstanding views, comfy rooms, amazing food. Will definitely be back, staff were all exceptional and really made the stay great.
