Great staff and great food. Excellent selection of whisky with staff on hand to lend a guiding hand.
Room was very nice but bed could have been a bit more comfortable but still a very pleasant stay. Would recommend to anybody looking for a great place to stay

Nature, at the top of Loch Awe, walkable to the Dam on Ben Cruhan and near the hidden-in-the-mountain, (Think James Bond) electric plant that offers tours. On train line that goes from Oban to Glasgow, transfer a few stops sooner to go up to the Great Glen, Fort Williams and the like.
