The Lochside Hotel offered stunning views of the bay and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive, always ready to assist, which made navigating the hotel particularly easy for us seniors.

Better accessibility options for seniors would be helpful.

Oh, the breakfast egg station was a pure delight! They really served up some cracking dishes that got my day going.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the room was a bit cramped, especially if you’ve got luggage galore. The lack of hooks in the bathroom was a minor nuisance, too.

Had a great experience with the staff – they were super attentive. The room was cozy and large enough for my stuff, and I really appreciated the selection of plugs, even USB ones.

Wasn't exactly cheap, but for what I got, it was still pretty acceptable.
