Beautiful hotel - staff extremely helpful and efficient. Well appointed rooms - lovely decor and furnishings, bathrooms had plentiful toiletries and amenity kits. Cleanliness throughout. Food was fantastic in both restaurants - especially enjoyed the dinner at Sandemans. Big thank you to Daniel and his colleagues for making it a lovely experience - and huge congratulations to Chef and his team for the fabulous menu. The food was outstanding! Enjoyed using the pool and sauna facilities - spa staff were very friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to experience great food and Scottish hospitality! Hoping to make a return visit for sure. Thank you so much!

Stayed a couple of years ago and definitely gone downhill. Seems to be reducing costs at detriment to customer experience. Low quality toiletries (not even supplied on first night). Pool/spa area needing a refurb, lockers not working in changing rooms, pool area needing refreshed and painted. Hot tubs outside not fully working and scum around rim. . Lack of variety in breakfast fruit options and low quality in cooked breakfast. Overall not a 5 star experience and really disappointed.

All the staff we came into contact with were polite and helpful. We stayed in a lodge with view over the loch (L22). The room was cold on arrival, it was November and there was no heating on. It took us a minute to find a radiator and to get the heating going. The room itself was OK, the positives; it was clean, had a lovely large bed, nice view, beautiful bathroom with separate bath and shower. The negatives; the decor in the bedroom really didn’t compliment the room or draw on the surrounding woodland. It was out of keeping with the rest of the hotel and if I’m honest a bit tacky, not what we had expected. The furniture wooden cabinets etc looked like they need some TLC, few marks on the walls and the ceiling at some point had obviously been plastered but was a bit rough. We felt that there were little touches missing from a 5 star experience. The lodge felt a bit too detached from the main hotel. We didn’t really feel that it reflected what we had paid for our stay. Maybe if we had stayed in the main hotel then we would have felt differently. Breakfast was lovely, well cooked and a good range of choice. The spa and pool were also very nice. The changing rooms needed a bit of attention, the showers were missing locks and the shampoo/conditioner etc were all running low.

Not five star quality

A lovely location on the lake amongst the forest unfortunately the rooms are not five star standard they are rather small and don’t have baths or bar fridges. Kindly the hotel upgraded us to a suite which is more the size you would expect for a five star country hotel. The service was mixed the concierge was really lovely and went out of their way however reception were very awkward. They charged us £20 for checking out an hour late when we had told them we going to be late as our baby was sleeping. It was the sort of penny pinching you expect at a roadside travel lodge not a five star hotel. There are lots of better places to stay.
