not quite as advertised
misleading listing shared dining area
The rooms were clean. A positive aspect.
The listing calls this a 5-star hotel. It isn't! it is more of a guest house on a camping site. My room was in the main house, and the dining area was shared. at breakfast, everyone had to share jam and butter from communal jars.

dirty facilities unfriendly owner
The location was scenic off the West Highland Way, so that part was fine.
The facilities were not enough for all the guests. It seemed crowded. Showers and toilets became very dirty and lacked basic supplies! like soap and toilet paper. Apply, twice. The owner was unfriendly, which soured my stay. I will not return.
