The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Flavorful Experience

The evening meal was lovely, especially the Highland fillet steak, which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The generous portion sizes made me feel I got excellent value for my money. Each dish not only tasted amazing but was also beautifully presented. I can't wait to return to explore more of the good menu options!

Cozy Comfort

The room I stayed in was spacious and featured a modern bathroom with a power shower that had impressive water pressure. It made each morning feel refreshing and revitalizing. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, allowing me to enjoy a restful sleep after long days of exploring.

The hotel offers rooms with great facilities and a wonderful view of Loch Ryan. The showers are good, and the beds are comfortable, providing a nice view as well. However, being located just on the outskirts of town, it is very accessible to the center, although it may lack a bit of the bustling atmosphere. The price is reasonable for what you get.
