The staff members were excellent! So inviting and sweet to my family and young son. They helped us navigate buses and taxis and were always smiling. This place had a lot of character, and being right next to the loch was really cool. Great views...

Staff was so cordial and professional. Gardens were beautiful. Had a nice room with a balcony overlooking the canal. Bathroom had a big soaking tub!! We watched several tall-masted sailboats as they went through the locks. Great walking...

Location right beside the locks was fantastic. Vessels used them the three days we stayed at hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially Sheetal in the restaurant. Our room had a balcony that overlooks the locks much to our enjoyment.
