From an excellent check in and very informative we had a great time. The room we had passed all expectations. We used the facilities at the hotel and were very pleased with the swimming pool, gym and the outside areas.
We ate in the hotel on all five nights there and were pleased with the selection on the menu’s and the costs were in line to what we have paid in the locality.

The room was nicely appointed, comfortable bed and great views of Loch Rannoch to enjoy.
Wee bit of a tricky drive to get there so you have to be paying attention to the narrow country roads.
Food and drink was good. Good facilities to use, with the gym and spa/pool.

First time in Scottish Highland
Amazing view and a dog friendly hotel. Our pup had a great time and so did we! Sun and sheep showed up and cheered up the day! Loved the pool, sauna and steam room! Best black pudding I have had on the breakfast buffet.

One night stay
Nice clean and well-kept room
Very friendly and welcoming staff
Dinner was absolutely awesome, dined in the estate room and was blown away with the quality and presentation of the food, the waiter was very attentive
Huge comfortable bed in a decent sized room
Complimentary biscuits
No bathrobes in the room, which would normally be expected in Spa hotel, however the Spa was in a separate building so this maybe why.
Decent sized en-suite with a large bath
Good amount of parking spaces overlooking the Loch
