"There are three different dining areas in the hotel including one which could be used for a family gathering or special occasion. The latter and one of the other areas both overlook the water and hills at the front of the hotel so if your...looking for a view best to ask. We were staying a few nights as residents and were automatically allocated a table with a view which was good. The other dining area alongside the lounge bar is attractively furnished and decorated. There are quality paintings from local artists on the walls throughout the hotel which acts as gallery space. Breakfast was served overlooking the water and there was a good choice of items including porridge, full Scottish with tattie scones), black pudding, etc all using quality products nicely cooked. Excellent. We had two evening meals, again served in the area overlooking the water. There was a decent selection of items on the menu representing local dishes and other popular choices. Eight starters priced between £5 £11; ten mains dishes £14 £25; and 5 desserts £6 £12. On our first evening I chose Loch Fyne Scallops £11) and my wife the Langoustines £11) which were both poached in a lemon white wine. The scallops were perfectly cooked and delicious as were the langoustines although my wife found dealing with the shells a bit of a fiddle. For mains we both had Sirloin Steaks served with a whisky sauce and accompanied with mushrooms, tomato and chips £25). Again the food was cooked to our preference and of a very good quality. On our second evening we had Haggis bon bons with a whisky sauce £8) and Bruschetta £7) for starters followed by Fish Chips £14). The food again was very good. There were a number of guests dining and there was a good ambiance. Service was efficient and pleasant in our experience and we were able to retire to the guest lounge after our meals for some drinks in very comfortable surroundings. Overall, quality food nicely cooked and served."
