Disgraceful and appalling, an absolute blight on Scottish tourism. Booked and paid for a deluxe room which all website photos show as large spacious rooms with separate lounge sitting areas fireplace and balcony with seating. Ended up in a small room 1/3 the size and a smaller uncomfortable bed, no room for our suitcases which we left in the car. Staff assured us restaurant was safe for coeliacs which it is definitely not as it's own menu and other reviews attest to. AVOID!

Tired and price too high for what’s offered
The Oak Tree was a disappointment. Not as presented in their photographs. Rooms are tired and in need of updating. Food in the restaurant was good but surroundings very rustic. In my view expensive for what was on offer.

Lovely Six Night Stay in July
We loved our stay here. Our superior pod had everything we needed and the little patio with the view of the Loch was just perfect. Good mattress and plenty of hot water - the most important things for me. The hotel and cottages were beautiful. Might try out the cottages next time! Reception staff were delightful. Friendly and welcoming. We had dinner our first night and it was terrific. This was our first time having haggis and I think it spoiled us! The Cullen Skink and Sticky Toffee Pudding were also great. Lovely whisky flight also

Lovely room but...
It's a difficult review. The staff are great,the food is great and the rooms are very nice and clean.however,we were in Dan's cottage room on the lower level. The soundproofing is unfortunately non existent. We could hear and feel every footstep above,every toilet flush,every hairdryer and every muffled conversation. It's a shame as the room,hotel and balmaha are lovely.

Absolutely no where to park when checking in. No signage at all to tell you to check in inside the restaurant. All ordering outside you have to do on a cell phone. Staff too busy dealing with teenage hikers to care whether you are there or not. Every other place in Scotland was fabulous and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. Not this place. Food was ok and room was nice. Shops close at 6pm so get there early if you want to experiance anything other than eating Would not go back
