Lovely stay. Rooms are being upgraded next year, so we will return to see them then, but they were ok. Food at breakfast was nice and fresh. The view from the diningroom across the Loch was beautiful but the epicormic growth needs addressing for future visitors. Some trees at the front entrance, also need attention as they're a health and safety hazard. Looking forward to returning sometime next year
