The hotel boasts a stunning location right on the banks of Loch Awe, with a fantastic lounge overlooking the loch. The rooms, while showcasing lovely toiletries and a great shower, were a bit dated and below the expected standard. The service was friendly and accommodating, with some room for improvement in training newer team members. Dining felt indulgent, albeit marred by midges, and the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
