Looking very spruce after renovations, and run with pride and enthusiasm, this hotel is a great place to stay and eat. There's a variety of rooms, including some stunning ones with balconies in a modern annexe. It's worth paying the small extra fee to get a loch view, though the cosy, secluded attic rooms also have appeal.
