The hotel's location by the loch with views of the Jura mountains is stunning, and the bistro offers reasonably priced dining next to beautiful gardens. The rooms provide a great view and feature big beds but lack chairs on the deck for fine weather. The service is attentive, with room service and pet amenities available. The on-site dining includes made-to-order porridge and delicious homemade bread. The facilities are well-kept, offering a comfortable stay overall.
