The location of this property is lovely but a bit of the beaten track. It does feel like it starting to get a bit tired but also has loads of character. The evening meal was excellent and the breakfast was very good. Did have a wonderful nights sleep.

This is a hard review to write fairly. I loved the location and the vibe of the hotel, and it was full of Highland character and interest. It has huge potential to be a luxury lodge hotel but has become tired and worn. There has been some attempt to upgrade the bedrooms with a very good bed and decent shower but other elements are out dated, worn or damaged. During our visit the hotel was seriously short of staff but those there worked hard to make our stay a success and the food in the restaurant was excellent. In short we had a good stay but I couldn’t recommend it unreservedly.

Interesting (quirky) lodge a bit shabby round the edges. Hard to tell if it's part way through a gradual renovation or is on a journey of deterioration but everything works and there is plenty of comfortable comunal areas to sit with drinks from the bar. The food in the restaurant and at breakfast was very good. Can be a bit cold as not all areas are well heated but the room was fine with the electric radiator provided.

Since the TV show 'A River Somewhere' in 1997 I have wanted to visit this hotel! For that reason I loved it. The staff were friendly, the food was excellent, parking is plentiful and the scenery magnificent. Lochs are all around with a real history of successful catches! However, I was incredibly sad to see this historic hotel, in this stunning scenery struggling in these current times. Having been a popular resort since 1886 I feel it should be supported and resurrected into 'the place to go' once again. I don't understand why the Scots aren't clambering to reignite a passion for a place with such history in such a unique situation. It's a place where you really can switch off from the world and reconnect with nature. I would recommend to everyone to visit, take your time, drive carefully, look around and someone, for goodness sake, come up with a way to keep this landmark alive!
