special spaces for your "I do"

For the perfect "I do" moment, you can choose to say your special vows in the lovingly refurbished hotel, or outdoors with views of the loch. There are also churches nearby, should you prefer a church wedding. The hotel itself sits right on the water's edge so there are loch views from nearly every angle. There are few experiences more lovely than watching the seals play as the sun sets over the clear waters of the loch.
