    great staff but room could improve

    The staff truly stood out during my stay. They were dedicated to making my experience enjoyable and incredibly responsive to my needs.

    Room comfort did not fully meet my expectations.

    I had a delightful stay with stunning views and a fantastic dining experience, particularly enjoying the fresh seafood and professional service at dinner. The bathroom could've used towel hooks.

    The Lochside Hotel offered stunning views of the bay and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive, always ready to assist, which made navigating the hotel particularly easy for us seniors.

    Better accessibility options for seniors would be helpful.

    egg station
    whisky selection
    warm welcome
    small room
    lack of hooks

    Oh, the breakfast egg station was a pure delight! They really served up some cracking dishes that got my day going.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, the room was a bit cramped, especially if you’ve got luggage galore. The lack of hooks in the bathroom was a minor nuisance, too.

    cozy room

    Recommend it for solo travelers who want comfort

    Had a great experience with the staff – they were super attentive. The room was cozy and large enough for my stuff, and I really appreciated the selection of plugs, even USB ones.

    Wasn't exactly cheap, but for what I got, it was still pretty acceptable.

    cleanliness issues
    limited breakfast choices

    The stay was pleasant, especially with the amazing views of the water from the dining room. The location was ideal, being very close to the local distillery and shops. some aspects were lacking, such as the breakfast choices and cleanliness during our three-night stay.
