Good but overpriced

Modern clean hotel. TV did not work properly in both rooms. Restaurant food poor. Staff disinterested QR codes did not work. Massively over priced. Discounts only worked if booking direct but cost £20 per night more!

Ok but overpriced

The hotel was clean and modern. The pub was basic with cardboard food. Staff were uninterested. Qr codes for discounts did not work. Good location but still about half a mile from the loch. Massively overpriced. Name misleading.
