No stars should be the rating. Terrible hygiene. Filthy brown water coming out of taps. Food was bad. Unsafe uncooked seafood. Stinking rotten fish. Electric sockets unsafe. TVs not working in most rooms. No action taken to rectify by staff.

It is in dire need of refurbishment. TV did not work, no towel rail, cold water basin tap did not work, shower very poor. Bedroom doors on strong springs, difficult to open and bang shut on closing.
Disappointing as lovely location and great views.
Upon arrival, several issues were immediately apparent:
• The room and common areas were unclean, poorly maintained, and had a strong unpleasant smell.
• Furniture and carpets were badly stained, and overall hygiene appeared neglected.
• Electrical appliances in the room appeared either unchecked or last tested over five years ago, according to the tags.
• The water from the taps was brown and discoloured, which raised serious hygiene concerns. The manager said it was because the water came from the mountains!
• The taps were poorly fitted, causing leaks and poor water pressure.
• The shower was nearly unusable, with extreme temperature swings between freezing cold and dangerously hot.
• Additionally, the manager was rarely present at reception, and when available, was unable to provide any useful information about the local area, which made our stay more difficult.
These conditions made for a very poor and unsafe experience — certainly not in line with the price paid or the hotel’s advertised standards. Had these issues been disclosed in advance, I would not have booked this property.
Attractive property, especially the dining and lounge areas.
Recently acquired and will be better as renovations take place. Wi Fi could be better although strong signal can be expected in common and dining area.

good quiet location next to the loch but thats it.shower inadequate and hard to operate.toilet not fixed to floor.smell of damp.sink blocked.bi fold door to toilet hard to close or open.very dated and scruffy.they have obviously been burning rubbish(including a mattress) outside,under our room.rubbish spewing out of the bins which the gulls were taking full advantage of and spreading everywhere.definitely wouldnt stay here again
The view was wonderful, room clean, and bed comfortable. The place is a bit run down, which is not a big deal to us. But, there was no wifi and, more importantly, there was a sign in the bathroom saying DO NOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER and asking that it be placed in a specially-provided closed trash can.
the shower in the bathroom was badly fitted and fell apart when trying to move the shower head .the room was dusty and needed a good clean.as we were only using the room for sleeping the standard was acceptable but could be improved
We were running late for check in. They were very understanding and kind to us. The room had a beautiful view and amazing bathroom. Just could have done with a blind in the bathroom window.
