2/10 Poor

The condition of this property was so dated, the room we booked did not represent the photos. The bathroom was so dated, only a hand held shower. Decor was very poor and im sure we heard a mouse scurrying around in the night. Definitely not luxury rooms sadly

Rundown

Room was very cold you could feel air blowing in around windows. Bathroom was so small nowhere to sit anything. Not very sound proof. Carpet needs a good cleaning. Bed was comfy and we asked for an extra pillow and they did bring us two. Very rundown building and area outside not the cleanest. Had to carry luggage up about 40steps

Attractive property, especially the dining and lounge areas. Recently acquired and will be better as renovations take place. Wi Fi could be better although strong signal can be expected in common and dining area.

2/10 Poor

The view of the loch is lovely but the room was terrible. I booked this place based on a few reviews and wish I hadn’t. It was not worth the money at all. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way, we couldn’t drain the bathtub, the mattresses are OLD, you could feel springs in them and everything was dingy. Would not recommend this place at all. We did not eat there so can’t rate the quality of that.

Friendly staff, and we were upgraded ! Great view of the loch. Road was a bit noisy at times, not bad though. Stayed only a night. Would stay again.

2/10 Poor

Worst bedroom that I have ever stayed in.

Possibly the worst hotel room that I have ever stayed in. Broken window with rain coming in. The noise from the rain was so loud that I had to have the radio on all night. The wall paper is peeling off the walls and the room smells damp. There was no plug for the sink and the cold water tap was not fixed to the basin. Just horrible and depressing. The pictures used on Hotels.com are misleading. Do not stay at this hotel.
Adrian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

why is this place even open, driving up to it it looks terrible, old run down food truck serving food in the driveway, inside no staff, floors ceiling and walls shabby and dirty, the room was a cubby hole missmatch and the stink of damp and mould was overwhelming, it was late so slept on top of the bed, i didnt dare use the shower or taps, i told the owner in the morning i would not stay the next night and wanted a refund for the 2nd night, he said ok but of course now he says no and expedia is no help the kitchen appliances and rubbish were dumped in the parking spots, dont have the words to convey haw bad it is DONT STAY HERE WHATEVER YOU DO
kevin, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

It is in dire need of refurbishment. TV did not work, no towel rail, cold water basin tap did not work, shower very poor. Bedroom doors on strong springs, difficult to open and bang shut on closing. Disappointing as lovely location and great views.
