The place is nice, clean, staff are very nice WiFi signal is weak, the washroom needs to be updated, it was a very hot day, yet the heaters were on in the hallways Otherwise the room and the washroom were very clean and spacious

Great location. Good food , staff were helpful and the hotel was lovely. The only downside was the bathrooms need modernising a they are a bit dated with some of the tiles and decor old

Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Booked a superior room that says it was accessible. However, when i turned up to the property. I was told it was up the stairs. the ramp to the front door was extremely steep and very very difficult to get into. The disabled toilet was too small and ended up getting stuck in it.
Connor Fergusson, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Beautiful building however neglected in all areas. Problem with the heating couldnt turn it off as no hot water then.
Tracy, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely old hotel if lacking in room ammenities. Place was certainly showing some wear.
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel 3/5 stars Restaurant 4/5 stars The staff were great and the location was good for access to Troissachs and Loch Lomond areas. I was just disappointed in the upkeep on the hotel portion. I walked into my room and it was very musty (smelled like it hadn't been aired out in a long time) and even leaving the window open didn't help. The bathrooms was serviceable but very outdated. The hotel really feels like it needs some upkeep and a little remodel. I don't think I would choose to stay here again given the condition of the room but it was a place to sleep.
Caitlin, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff and check in were good. The room was adequate and clean, although it is a bit worn and could do with modernization. The mattress and bedding were good. The nearest electrical outlet was across the room from the bed – you will not be able to sleep with your phone on the bedside table if you want it charged by the morning. We had both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were good. Breakfast was British breakfast buffet with everything of a decent standard. The parking was easy, but the lot was very full. The hotel is in a pretty little village a few minutes drive from Loch Lomond. Note: The path from reception to the room involved multiple halls, doors, small steps down and back up – this would be difficult for a person with disabilities – if you have difficulty getting around, be sure to request a room that is easy to access.
Nathan, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Friendly staff and decent food unfortunately does not make up for moldy rooms with disgusting carpets. Room was terrible but the rest allright
Maria, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

I understand that this is a really old hotel but it was not clean in the slightest. Thankfully some employees changed the dirty bedding but the rest of the room was terribly dirty as well.
