Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Kinloch is a beautiful location at the end of the lake. Great starting point for excellent walking in the hills & gorge nearbye. Warm friendly staff and delicious food as well. Even though we arrived late Toni managed to provide a very tasty venison stew and a brownie - perfect. Quaint old style rooms.

Negative: All good thank you

Summary: Peace & quiet at the end of the lake
