Lovely old Hunting Lodge, downstairs sitting rooms and restaurant well appointed. Our room was nice although only view of the back gardens and Falconry and the room was on the small side. Next time I would upgrade to a larger room with a view of the Loch. The property the Hotel is situated in is stunning for gardens and views. Meal at Restaurant was A Grade and would highly recommend the food.

This Is an overpriced hotel. This is not a 4 star hotel at all, so the rooms, hotel conditions and food served do not match the price you pay for.
Most of the rooms are small and some are really not very accessible with suitcases.
There are more options around that have a much better ratio quality/price
A first class historic property in a beautiful location. A very imaginative chef produced dishes that were a joy to look at and had flavour combinations that were unique and very delicious.
Lovely old property with sweeping views of the water. Room was comfortable. Had dinner and breakfast at the lodge for our stay.
I thought the property was a bit pricey overall. But service and location was ideal for our journey.
Very nice experience. Was a great property with nice people
Restaurant was very good enjoyed our dinner
rooms are good comfortable beds and pillows
would defiantly stay again
Well this is the first poor review I’ve ever written.
The room rate is reasonable based on the overall hotel but our room and the bed was very small room compared with all our other experiences in the highlands this week. Our bathroom looked clean but smell of faeces was disgusting, We had pre-booked dinner and stayed for breakfast it was very expensive and poor value. I agree with other travellers that the dining experience is awkward and the dinner staff exacerbated this. We ate late due to availability of spaces and the staff reset tables for breakfast whilst we were eating our main course. This made us feel rushed and burdensome. One staff member serving drinks etc wasn’t welcoming and his manner aloof (maybe he was just having a bad day!) Again stark contrast to the other hotels we’d stayed during our week in the Highlands.
Having said all that this is a stunning house, the views from the hotel and the main communal rooms are beautiful. We were able to watch seals from the lawns.
Overall though, disappointing I’m afraid
A lovely lodge hotel in a beautiful setting. Plentiful parking and spacious rooms. Nice lounge and snooker room to relax if you didn’t want to stay in your room.
If arriving by night, it’s hard to spot the hotel sign at the side of the road so it’s easy to drive straight past.
The hotel restaurant serves nicely presented and beautifully cooked local produce. The menu is a little limited and pricey but the staff were friendly.
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, the host was very welcoming and was very considerate of our 7 year old, he arranged for a special meal for him after we arrived. Also, thank you Allister for the great drinks and banter!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bedroom, bed and bathroom spacious and comfortable but still overpriced for accommodation. Evening meal very poor and did not live up to description on website at all. Food is supposed to be local and in season and therefore reason why menu choice very limited. However, one of the three main courses on offer was pheasant which is not legally in season until October 1st. Therefore it must either have been frozen from last season or roadkill!
Would not return as food and drink overpriced as well as the accommodation.
A really warm comfortable and inviting place to stay and explore. Wonderful staff and chef. They cared for us with genuine hospitality. Wish we could have stayed much longer.
