I struggled on how to review this property. In some ways the property is amazing and in other ways it could use some work. This property is very unique and set in a beautiful spot on Loch Ness. There a lot of things for kids to do on property. We loved sitting on the benches by the boat house looking out over the loch. The rooms are individually owned apartments. Our room was okay, but not the best. The furniture and area rug had stains. The toilet was difficult to operate. We were there in July and it was pretty warm. Being on the top floor with no AC was uncomfortable at times. It was nice to have a washer/dryer, refrigerator, and stove/oven in the room. Overall we would definitely stay at this property again but maybe try to get a different room.

Staff were friendly and gave us a good larger than expected room on arrival which was good. The hotwl is positioned in a very peaceful area. We had a room on the ground floor at the back so there was no road noise but lots of noise late at night when other guests were arriving to their rooms. Walls/floors are thin! The water coming out of the taps and toilet was yellow..not sure why. Bottles of yellow tap water were being served to customers. The menu was not to our taste far too much spicy food. I had to send the corn on the cob back as it was covered in spice. We were then brought a new plain one and were not charged which was good. Can't comment on the cooked breakfast as we only had fruit/continental options.

We booked this property in April 2026 thinking it was one house made up of one dwelling. We booked one night and after some deliberation we booked a second consecutive night separately believing it would be the same property. Upon arrival at the property we soon realized the house was divided into two separate residences, an east wing and a west wing. At no point did Black Sheep Hotels tell us that the property was made up of two residences and that we had in fact booked one night in each residence. During the morning following our first night we received very direct and bad communications from Black Sheep telling us in no uncertain terms that our behavior was unacceptable because we had not packed up our belongings and vacate the premise. At the time of receiving these communications we were on a train and unable to get to the house. Our belongings were packed up and moved to the residence in the other side of the house. We returned to the house later that day, packed up the car and left, as we were so upset with the way we had been treated It is unusual for us to leave any comments like this on expedia, but we feel strongly about the poor treatment we received from Black Sheep and our goal is to prevent this from happening to any other family in the future. Black Sheep Hotels need to do a better job of making clear that this property is two separate residences and let future visitors know if the have in fact booked both residences consecutively, whether by accident or not

Beautiful property, clean room. Blair and Olivia were fabulous. The restaurant staff needs retraining though and they need hire more waiters ans F&B manager. However i will definitely stay there again
