Had a Sunday roast. It was lovely roast pork with all the trimmings. There is disabled parking up beside the restaurant. There's a ramp from car park. Off putting is the midges and dragon fly on the windows. Being from Tarbert I know it's bad for midges.

Cannot recommend these lovely people enough. We were stuck after other accommodation falling through, and even though they weren't even open for the season, they opened their doors for us so we would have a warm place to sleep and a nice hot shower. Not to mention that they were dealing with the fallout and repairs from the worst storm we've ever seen, and still, amidst what must be a very stressful time for them, they took the time to make us feel welcome. If you want to experience true Scottish hospitality, this is the place to be. 10/10
