Delicious Whisky Cheesecake

During my stay in March 2024, I was absolutely blown away by the whisky cheesecake served at dinner. It was the most exquisite dessert I've ever tasted, perfectly creamy with a hint of whisky that melted in my mouth. I couldn't resist asking for the recipe!

Cozy and Comfortable

I stayed at this lovely hotel in May 2024, and the room I had was spacious and very well-equipped. It featured a fantastic view over the Loch, plus ample space for my belongings. The little touches made a big difference!

Charming Lounge

In July 2024, I enjoyed relaxing in the cozy lounge area equipped with a vast collection of DVDs. This unique feature made it easy to unwind after a long day of exploring while contributing to a delightful atmosphere that felt like home.

Great Local Insights

I had a fantastic experience in September 2024 when I asked the owner for local recommendations. His knowledge of the best fishing spots was invaluable, enhancing my trip by guiding me to places I didn’t know existed!
