"If you’re after a stunning view, Duck Bay certainly delivers – the loch is breathtaking. Sadly, that’s where the charm ends. The rest feels like a duck decoy: glossy on the surface, but hollow underneath. Reception staff weren’t rude, but they might as well have been automated – check-in and check-out were delivered in flat monotone, and no one seemed to care that my stay was merely “okay.” The room was basic, with decor so synthetic it practically quacked of plastic. The smell of it lingered until I opened the patio doors – but that just invited in mosquitos. The bathroom was worse: black mould in the shower, a glass shelf that made every bottle placed on it slide off, and water pressure so weak it barely qualified as a shower. To top it off, music from the deserted outdoor area blared into the night. Reception had already shut by 9pm, so I had to call the restaurant to have it turned down. Duck Bay may look the part, but for the price of a supposedly three-star hotel, it’s all plastic feathers and no real duck. I won’t be paddling back."

"Hatten einen Pod ...leider ohne Zugang zum 100 Meter entfernten See . Das Queensize Bett war viel zu weich und eng an die Wand gestellt . Das Beleuchtungskonzept schrecklich .... 6 grelle Deckenstrahler und 2 rohe Glühbirnen überm Bett .... null Gemütlichkeit. Leider . Personal sehr nett ! Essen meist lecker ! "

"Die Lage ist prima, Parkmöglichkeiten kostenlos in der Nähe, z.T. freundliches Personal, gute, ebenerdige Dusche einige nette Designideen, die aber die Bezeichnung Boutiquehotel nicht rechtfertigen superkleines Zimmer mit extrem weichen durchgelegenen Betten, 1 Nachttischlampe die aber nicht funktionierte weil sie einen falschen Stecker für die Steckdose hatte, Aussicht auf einen Hinterhof, der aber sehr klein war, Lüftung war daher schwierig im Zimmer und Bad, damit war nach dem Duschen der Spiegel lange beschlagen.Eine durchsichtige Scheibe zum Badezimmer hin, ist selbst für Ehepaare doof. Es gab absolut keinen Fernsehempfang, Streamen war auf dem Fernseher möglich. Teppich war recht unansehnlich. Einige der Mitarbeiter eher unmotiviert, als wir abends um 11 in das Hotel kamen war die Tür abgeschlossen, wir hatten zwar einen Chip am Schlüssel aber fanden nicht die Stelle um in das Hotel zu kommen. Hatte uns beim Check In niemand erklärt. Zum Glück war noch ein supernetter Reinigungsmann da, der uns dann den Nachteingang in einem Gang einige Meter vom Hoteleingang entfernt zeigte, alleine hätten wir ihn eher nicht gefunden. Das Hotel ist sehr hellhörig, das Frühstück ist sehr basic. Der Fühstückskaffee war mit weitem Abstand der schlechteste den wir in Schottland getrunken haben. Alles in allem deutlich zu teuer für die Leistung. Wir würden das Hotel nicht mehr buchen."

"Everything a bit old. If you shower the complete bathroom is wet."

"It should really be a 5 tar hotel but let’s itself down in too many ways. Positives: The building is beautiful. The gardens and surroundings the equal of anywhere I have stayed. Negatives: The swimming pool is the most horrendously over chlorinated pool I have been in this side of 1990. End result from using it is a severe ear infection. The decor is nice enough in a traditionally kitsch Scottish fashion, but looking a little dated. The food was okay, but nothing you won’t get in any decent pub in the UK. The continental breakfast was, by a distance, the poorest value for money breakfast I have ever paid for. We were a little late going down(9:15am) and at that stage all that remained was a couple of options for cerial, 3 croissants, and a handful of tiny pancakes. Given a few other tables joined around the same time, this didn’t go far, and it took far longer than it really should have to top up what was there, and that top up wasn’t a huge amount more than what was there when we first walked in. That said, our breakfast was probably more enjoyable than the couple who asked for a table next to one of the windows and were told thy couldn’t sit there as the tables were still dirty, and were then told that the kitchen was unable to cook an omelette. I have stayed at other McDonald Hotels and they have been excellent, but this one was a let down. It wouldn’t take a huge amount of time and effort to make it worth its name."

"All was good"

"Sehr großes und komfortables Zimmer. Sehr freundliches Personal. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. "
