The staff made our trip!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay, the studio apartment, dog friendly was perfect for us. Only couple of tiny maintenance issues. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, they made our stay special. Food was good for breakfast and dinner. Our only disappointment was Tarbert was totally closed! Got the ferry over which was lovely, but not even a cafe open so came back in next ferry.

The breakfast was good, however they would not deviate from the menu. I asked for an omelette, however I was told this was not possible as not on the menu - bit disappointed. Spa was so relaxing, could have stayed longer than the 2 hours allotted. Infinite pool - perfect. Dinner at night did not disappoint lots of choice and beautifully cooked. The only down side was the room cleaning. The bed in the room would be made up however if there was a used mug it was not cleaned, it was just left. Again minor but disappointing.

We stayed in Lodge 5, the room carpet and bathroom floors were really dirty as was the kettle and some of the furniture. We mentioned to housekeeping staff member and was told someone would contact us. This never happened and by time we checked out we still had not had any contact.

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!

Lovely place but poor bedroom experience

Bedroom noise from corridor doors was horrendous. A mixture of people coming and going and the rattling of squeaky doors was really bad. Apart from this it was a nice place. Dinner and breakfast was good, and scenery was very nice. Lodge Room number was LR02 for info.
