Fantastic stay the shepherds hut, which was much larger than expected and beautifully appointed. The facilities in the hotel are excellent. The restaurant was great and the spa and outdoor pool was fantastic. The massage by the Spanish lady was one of the best I’ve had. We also took the ferry over to Tarbert one afternoon, which was 20 minutes away and just glorious. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

Pleasant overnight stay.

Had an overnight stay in a lodge room and wished we could have stayed longer. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet with views of the Loch and surrounding countryside. There's a decent restaurant overlooking the marina and nice leisure & spa facilities on the complex.
