Fantastic lakeside stay
We had a really nice stay at Thistle House Guest House. We received a very warm welcome by Sue and her sister in law. The house itself is well maintained and breakfast was plenty and delicious. Can only recommend, especially if you are looking for somewhere quite with a great view.

A unique historical house decorated and furnished accordingly and to a very high standard throughout. We especially appreciated on arrival being greeted personally and offered tea and cake in the very comfortable large guest lounge with a beautiful view of the loch. Excellent accommodation and friendly owners.
