Really disappointed. Only chose as advertised as 9.8 miles away from landmark. Was over 20 and cost a fortune travelling. Poorly advertised. Unclean, was a cockroach in the bath upon arrival. Bathroom not as advertised. Really poor considering I got a junior suite. Staff were completely uninterested. Nobody serving at the bar, had to keep asking reception. Unable to order food, told I had to wait for a buffet?!

Lovely two night stay at the Loch Fyne Hotel. Staff were welcoming and cheery. Spa treatments were incredible and I have never felt so relaxed! Food was lovely, perhaps slightly expensive but just my own opinion. Didn’t get a chance to use the spa facilities like the pool etc but wish I had as it looked like a beautiful space. Room was cosy and ideal for what I needed. I found the bed a little too soft but that’s personal preference. The chairs were a little tatty and could do with being updated. The TV was not smart, so couldn’t cast things to watch on the apps, but again, a minor thing. All in all I would rate highly, and enjoyed my time away from the hustle and bustle of home life.
