Staff friendly but this is over priced and barely adequate. Comfy bed but only decent mirror over the sink in the bathroom. Tiny portable mirror in bedroom, no adequate lighting to see what your doing. …

What a wonderfully situated hotel. With a car park across from the hotel, checking in was easy. The hotel has a mix of old and new and the staff are fantastic. We had a garden view which does need attended to but if you get a loch view room then you have stunning views to wake upto. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. There are water sports available on loch earn.

A beautiful little hotel with direct sea view and cosy rooms. Super friendly service and staff members. The pub of the hotel is one of the bests in this region. All in all, we can really recommend this hotel.PS: One staff member, the Lady with blonde hair, had her first days during our stay. She was lovely, friendly and super hands on. We wish you all the best! Greetings from Germany.
