Great accommodation, excellent food and friendly staff
The whole stay was amazing. Staff were really friendly, the spa was incredibly relaxing, and the cabin accommodation was perfect and in a really scenic spot. The only fault was the outdoor pools were pretty cold, but the weather was chilly generally during our stay.
Lovely stay here. I was a bit disappointed that the main pool was closed as that would have made it a 5 star experience all round. Staff were brilliant.
The Shepherd's hut wasclean and comfortable. The restaurant was fantastic. Over the whole weekend everything was delicious. The spa was great. The outdoor facility was great. The staff were friendly and really attentive and willing to engage in conversation.
Booked for my friend who loved it said the room, food and scenery could not be faulted, she said she will definitely be returning as 5 stars all round.
Great stay for a couple of days, remote so ideal to switch off, staff friendly, nice food in the restaurant with big portions, highlight is the outdoor pool and hot tubs
Stunning location where staff could not of been any more helpful, made for an amazing stay. Views are out of this world with the outdoor infinity pool a particular highlight!!
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.
Fantastic 2 night stay at Portavadie. Facilities are wonderful only bettered by the spectacular scenery. Staff are excellent and do what they can to make your stay a memorable one. Would definitely return.
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.
Arrived on Friday night, late for checking in and dinner, he asked the kitchen and we were able to dine, Saturday/Sunday morning breakfast was amazing, we both had the Full Breakfast, between the accommodation/staff and food the weekend stay was amazing and will be booking again, last but not least the price for the weekend was very reasonable
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.
