My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were beautiful, although they showed some signs of wear and tear. The service was friendly and supportive, but it could benefit from additional training. The location was lovely with great walks nearby. The dining experience was enjoyable, but I was expecting more variety for breakfast. The facilities were well-kept and added to the overall experience.

Staying at the hotel was a mix of delightful surprises and some areas needing improvement. The rooms were immaculate and larger than expected, offering comfort and all necessary amenities. However, the outdated decor in need of refurbishment and windows in poor condition affected the overall quality. The service was a highlight with accommodating staff, yet some lack of experience was noticeable. The location was fantastic, overlooking Loch Fyne, but could benefit from some upgrades. Dining options varied from excellent to disappointing, portraying inconsistency. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel presents potential for a great stay.

The hotel provided a welcome change with cosy and comfortable rooms, although they were still very small. The service was very polite, friendly, and helpful, but the staff seemed to lack interest. The location offered spectacular views and was great for exploring, yet there were some rooms below standard. The dining experience kept us going for most of the day with a highland cooked breakfast. Overall, a mixed experience with ups and downs.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were a fantastic place to lounge about, with an abundance of board games available to while away the time. However, they were slightly spoiled by tired decoration and a patched-up bath. On the bright side, the rooms offered the most beautiful views, a lovely big bed, and a modern bathroom. Everything was very clean and tidy with views of the Lock.

The hotel exuded cozy traditional charm with stunning views over the loch, though the service could be a tad more attentive. The location provided a perfect setting for walks and exploring, with minor maintenance issues. Dining was satisfactory but lacked expected high standards in speed and variety. Overall, the historical vibe made for an enjoyable stay with some hiccups in service quality.

For the price of £205 for Bed and Breakfast, the hotel left a bit to be desired. The rooms were clean and tidy with views of the Lock, but the bathroom was just okay. The service was friendly and warm, with helpful staff who fixed issues quickly. The location was picturesque with character, offering lovely walks around the lake. The dining experience was basic and hit-and-miss, while the facilities were limited.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the castle downstairs was lovely with opulence and fantastic views, my room left much to be desired with broken tiles in the bathroom, dirty marks on the walls, and a view of a derelict shed. However, the bed was very comfortable with panoramic views of Loch Fyne, and the bathroom was clean with lots of hot water.

The hotel is set in a charming environment with original paintings and antiques adorning the rooms and various seating arrangements to accommodate different group sizes. The turret sitting area adds to the charm, and the spacious bathroom is well-equipped. The friendly and outstanding service, including the mean Old Fashioned cocktails, enhances the overall experience. However, the dining could be more expansive with additional options for breakfast.
