Nice apartment overlooking the river with views towards the Loch. Ideal for exploring the area. Apartment itself was well maintained but there was what appeared to be a lot of dog hairs around the floors. Other than that the rooms were well presented and tidy. Beds being very comfortable. The entrance is a distance from the car park and up several flights of stairs, this shouldn’t be a problem as the apartment is on the first floor so would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The entrance hall and stairs is shared with the apartment above and could do with a bit of a clean. All together acceptable stay.

Stunning apartment with equally stunning views. An excellent well equipped flat. Don't be fooled by the outside of the building the flat is fantastic. Clean, tidy, and everything you need for your stay ( except the weather). Bed very comfy. Would be cosy with four adults but just the two of us and our dog. The Arboretum was lovely for walks ( even in the pouring rain) and is walkable from the flat with due carer as no foot path in some parts. The Botanical gardens is a must as is Pucks Glenn( Glenn closed due to storm damage but still walks to do). Di a trip to Bute which was lovely. Would highly recommend this flat and David and Mary were very communicative if anything was needed.Thanks for our stay
