we stayed in a cabin, the area outside them could have been more appealing to the eye, covered in rashes & weeds

lovely friendly place to visit facilities were great

I think the landscaping surrounding the accommodation and walk to and fro main building could have been better and this would have enhanced the views which at times were hidden

The views were lovely and even though the drive to location were long the scenery was amazing, typical beautiful Scotland

Having to book times for breakfast and a swim. For example only left with the choice of 8am or 10am for breakfast and advised if we turn up outwith the allocated time slots we might not get in. It meant we had to plan our whole day around what slot we could get for breakfast and a swim. No loungers by the pool so unless you pay extra for the spa experience it is a jacuzzi and a swim only. It might have been helpful to have had a brochure describing what was available in the resort including the extra for the spa as we were not informed of this as we did not have the app.

Well equipped studio. Very clean. Lovely restaurant with good food. A nice relaxing location. Very quiet.

Minor points, wouldn't stop me visiting again. You might think about moving the wee wooden shelf above the wash basin in the Shepherd's Huts bathrooms, difficult to wash your face without hitting your head on the corner! Also, lovely though they may be, fine china mugs and glasses in a smallish space are not really safe with a Belfast sink! And, probably the most important safety item, the steps to the door are very narrow and with small feet myself, I still had to place them sideways on the steps to walk down them, can't imagine if you have size 10s!

Meals and spa facilities were all excellent. Accommodation in the Shepherd's Huts, very luxurious but minor points of comment, see below. Staff were all lovely.

Nothing we didn't like

Food was excellent, just felt it was a bit short of staff at time, had to ask 3 times for a jug of water, otherwise no issues. Reception staff were most helpful with any questions asked.

Room was a bit tired as was some of the outside woodwork at the centre

Staff were great, food and location great.

Not much the resort can do but there's very little else in/near the location so it's quite isolated and means you really have to use the on-site restaurant (be sure to book in advance as it gets busy!)

Breakfast was great quality, restaurant really lovely and the spa facilities were fantastic.

Water pressure in shower wasn’t very good, only 1.5 hours aloud in leisure facilities which is a bit of a downer.

Very clean, staff were very helpful, Marina restaurant was also very nice.

Nothing comes to mind.

The Cabin was pristine, comfortable quiet and well equipped. There was a good selection of hot and cold food for breakfast, and the service was quick. The Spa facilities were excellent and not too busy.

No bars or restaurants nearby of walking distance. No public transport nearby such as a local bus. Limited to eating and drinking at restaurant. Quiet resort. No entertainment. Sauna shower wasn't good. Pressure low and not cold at all. Jacuzzis weren't great. No steam room. Apartment too warm to sleep well. But it is summer!

The breakfast was superb! It had every option possible. Was great quality food. We enjoyed it very much. I have a dairy allergy and there was plenty options for me as well as all the alternative milks available. Went a druve to St Ostel beach. Lovely beach. Self catering apartments were well equipped. Comfortable bed. Good range of TV channels. Good WiFi signal. Lovely views. Peaceful resort. Big fans in room which we needed on at night, due to the heat in the apartment.
