We really enjoyed our stay! The weather was on our side, so we spent plenty of time on the balcony, soaking in the stunning loch views. The park nearby is always lively with localsand there's a kids' playground close by, which was perfect for the little ones - everyone was well-behaved and having fun. The property itself was top-notch, with attention to detail throughout. It's just off the main street, so close to shops and eateries but still super peaceful. Would definitely recommend!

Honestly, we had a fantastic stay! The apartment was beautifully finished with real attention to detail, making it feel quite luxurious. We loved just relaxing there, soaking up the views of the Loch - it's such a peaceful spot. Of course, Scotland's sights are unmissable, so we did some exploring too. Our dog was a bit puzzled by the upside-down layout at first, but she quickly adapted and really enjoyed the balcony views. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cosy getaway with a touch of elegance.
