Had a great stay this weekend. The facilities are great. The restaurant and bar staff are excellent and very helpful and efficient. The food was good. The night porter also assisted with pick up and drop off from the lodges to the restaurant on Friday as it was very wet so that was appreciated. Only a couple of things that could be improved, the bed in the standard room is a small double so I felt like I was going to fall out. As a female who does a lot of solo travelling (though not on this occasion), the lack of lighting from the lodges to the restaurant/bar/spa is not great. Had I not been with my friend, I wouldn’t have gone up after dark. Overall though, a lovely relaxing stay.

The staff made our trip!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay, the studio apartment, dog friendly was perfect for us. Only couple of tiny maintenance issues. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, they made our stay special. Food was good for breakfast and dinner. Our only disappointment was Tarbert was totally closed! Got the ferry over which was lovely, but not even a cafe open so came back in next ferry.

Pleasant overnight stay.

Had an overnight stay in a lodge room and wished we could have stayed longer. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet with views of the Loch and surrounding countryside. There's a decent restaurant overlooking the marina and nice leisure & spa facilities on the complex.
