fantastic lochside stay!

fine location good breakfast
i found the location amazing with the loch right there! the beach was right outside, so i could spend all day there. breakfast was amazing with a good selection of food.
the stairs were winding and hard to climb, especially with luggage because there wasn't any lift. this made it difficult for some guests to move around the hotel. i wish there was assistance available upon arrival.
