Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Lime Tree Hotel is often praised for its spacious and comfortable rooms, some offering lovely loch views. Guests appreciate the generous and tasty breakfast, including freshly cooked options, and the convenience of having a restaurant on site. While many find the location ideal for walks into town and accessing the train station, with free parking available, some guests in rooms in the annex have noted a lack of charm compared to the main building. it's considered a good option with comfortable amenities.
