Staff were amazing, friendly and welcoming. When we first checked in Aaron's enthusiasm was infectious and it started our weeks break off perfectly 😊 in the restaurant Lexi & Belinda were sweethearts and made sure we had everything we needed. 🍽️ Food in the restaurant was fabulous 😍 tried different items on the menu throughout the week and everything was delicious 😋 never a bad meal and we had breakfast and evening meals in the hotel/restaurant. Rooms were clean & functional so a big thank you to housekeeping. Would definitely return!
A lovely highland welcome with beautifully tasteful decor and wonderful food.

I was very pleased with my room, I had a nice view and could see the sea in the distance. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The included breakfast was very tasty and with a good choice. This was my second stay and will definitely return in the future
Our room was spotless and very comfortable.
Staff were pleasant and helpful at all time.
Breakfast was well cooked and offered a good variety of hot and cold options.
We love this hotel. This is our second stay and will definitely be back.
Hotel was clean and comfortable. Many extra touches. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good quality. Only issue was the shower was too small.
Excellent hotel with lovely comfortable rooms. Check in was easy with all staff being very polite and helpful. We weren't there for an evening meal was breakfast was delicious and great to get a freshly cooked breakfast as opposed to a buffet. There is also a large car park, with the hotel being a very short stroll from the golf course.
Great location. The beach and golf course are just around the corner.
The room had two single beds which I thought was odd for a premier king. They did offer to push them together with a king size quilt, but i don't really consider that the same. The evening meal was very nice, but staff a little awkward. They didn't seem to understand what a gin martini was, and how to bill it.
I'm being a little picky.. They're close to getting a 5 star review from me.. it just wasn't quite perfect. Would stay again though, location was excellent.
