GALLERY

I have returned from a two night stay with a group of sewing friends and have nothing but praise. The hospital has been reborn as a wonderful base for groups with a nod to its previous life in the decor. The bedrooms are modern and spacious with large ensuites and the beds very comfortable. There is a large lounge/dining area looking over the Loch hills and a large deck with barbecue set in an older world garden. The kitchen is large...commercial in size with 2 ovens and everything you could need, even cocktail glasses. If you don't feel like cooking cafes are a short walk away. The meeting/craft room has great natural light and is well serviced with its own tea/coffee corner. Our group booked again before we had left from this retreat. It will be a regular visit.
