Loch View - Highland

Is very good and very romantic to eat in this restaurantfood is sublime and freshly madekind professional staffvery clean placevery romanticgood value for money

My friends and I stayed in a cottage nearby and visited this restaurant every night for drinks or food. The bar was quiet in the evening, but the restaurant was always bustling! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was exceptional, with all the staff being very friendly and accommodating. Alistair and our two waitresses were particularly outstanding.

Stayed in accommodation close by and was recommended visiting this restaurant. The dining room has views over the loch and on a spring evening is a lovely place to be. The wife and I ordered mains and desserts, and were very impressed by both presentation and taste of both courses. Service was friendly aswell and we would be happy to revisit when we go back.

Having booked into the hotel we decided to eat in the restaurant, im glad we did! relaxed and very friendly atmosphere, staff excellent! good variety of dishes from fresh local seafood etc to steak and a very varied kids menu. the desserts are incredible!! really enjoyed dining to the backdrop of snow capped mountains and the loch. we both felt relaxed and very well looked after!! we will return!!

First impressions may suggest to avoid this hotel, however, there are a number of major positives that are very attractive and positive. We weren't,t staying at the hotel but nearby in a local guest house. Finding somewhere to eat locally isn,t easy but after a long day in the car but a stunning journey, we just wanted to eat close and the hotel was the only place we think within walking distance and would let us take the dog . The hotel is on the main road with a car park to the right. The sign for the hotel could do with a clean and improvement to get more customers through the door. We weren't,t sure if we were able to eat there as non guests but the receptionist was friendly and invited us in. The entrance to the public bar was dark and not the most welcoming , with a tatty old carpet which ought to be replaced with laminate or a lighter flooring to make the welcome more inviting. The bar area has a combination of old and new with a lovely decking place outside with seating and a garden area below, in front of a beautiful loch with magnificent views. the scenery is worth the food bill if I am honest. the staff were a mixed crew with obvious frictions between them, with a number of hard workers who were keen to please their customers with a up to date refreshing approach, knowledgeable and excellent customer care. Other staff are in need of bringing service into the 21st century, in terms of dealing with customers and the technology of the till and knowledge of drinks. I felt slightly uneasy about getting the right drinks and prices!!! We sat outside on the decking which was a great area to have dinner. The food was good and we all enjoyed our meals, thank you. Would we return? I don,t think we would unfortunately despite the good food, we would try something different. This is a great shame as this hotel as great potential and needs to be brought into the real world of good service , particularly with the fantastic location. Not a disaster but a touch of the faulty towers. I hope I have been fair to all who hose to read this review.
