So… we ended up here because a storm closed the hotel where we had reservations. this property has a lot of potential and it is working toward being a solid hotel. Our group had 3 rooms and they were all extremely different. Room number 2 was very nice and I would give it 5 stars for decor, cleanliness, and atmosphere. Room 3 was a step down - the difference was the decor. Room 11 was bad - like pre-renovation. Furniture, bathroom fixtures, carpet, everything needed to be replaced - the bathroom was barely functional and it was so rundown that it felt unclean. I spoke with the “front desk” and it sounds like the hotel was recently purchased and they are starting renovations.

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.

No stars should be the rating. Terrible hygiene. Filthy brown water coming out of taps. Food was bad. Unsafe uncooked seafood. Stinking rotten fish. Electric sockets unsafe. TVs not working in most rooms. No action taken to rectify by staff.

This property was not as described. Far from luxury rooms. Carpets were dirty, holes in bathroom walls, sink tap broken, not all lights were working in the bathroom, tv didn’t work, walls and baseboards weren’t very clean. When I asked for 2 extra pillows the manager rolled his eyes. The dinner left a lot to be desired. Could hear pipes and noises from room above. After complaining about the conditions we were moved to another room that was not much better, the chairs in the sitting area both had tattered arms. No light above sink. I wouldn’t recommend this Lodge to anyone. New owners since March so I’m not sure where the rave reviews came from. The sitting rooms downstairs off the lobby were the only parts of the lodge that looked proper.

We arrived after delays at 9pm after phoning ahead to let them know... the chef did fantastic plates of pasta, all the tastier for being back in the warm after a too-long journey! Bedroom was decent, if old - took a bit to warm up the room (we arrived when it was already well dark) but after that, no real complaints. Really appreciate the efforts of the staff to make our stay welcome.

First, second and third impression was terrible

Had to change room three times. At the first one there was a smell that was so strong probably to cover up the smell of mold. The bed had spots and the wifi was bad. The second room was bigger but had to complain about the mold. I then felt like I was seen as difficult. The third room was ok after a thorough check, but didn't feel comfortable there after seeing mold. The restaurant was always empty. There was also wrong prices listed on hotels.com it was of course higher not cheaper. The one highlight was the chicken curry though I was worried about the coughing coming from the kitchen. I checked out a day early.

Nice quiet spot in the offseason

We did one night in March, and the place was pretty empty. The location and surrounding area are fantastic. There was some maintenance work going on, but nothing that impacted us. The hotel, room and dining area all look a little dated, but that doesn’t bother us. The bed was comfy, the breakfast great, and the parking easy. We didn’t have dinner here, choosing a spot in town about five minutes away.

SPECTACULAR. Absolutely SPECTACULAR in every way. The owner and brother are WONDERFUL people. The view is incredible. We had 2 rooms and they were both absolutely the best. Artfully constructed and decorated. Everything was beautiful and lovely. In my room, I could see the view of the lake while taking a shower. So clever the way they designed this. I hope fate returns me to this beautiful slice of heaven.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was polite. The dinner was very expensive and did not live up to expectations. Dinner service was not attentive. No mixed drinks available. Very limited whisky offerings. The room was ok, but there was no way to shut off the bathroom fan, so it was going all night. The chairs in the room are very well worn and uncomfortable. On our second day, a storm came through and no power and hot water was available for over 14 hours. The front desk was not going to refund the last night as we were not going to stay without heat, lights, hot water or restaurant available( there wasn’t anywhere else to eat and no fridge in the room). My husband had quite the conversation with them before they relented and refunded the last night.
