Had two night stay and slept really well, so no complaints about the beds. Staff friendly. Decor generally very poor (carpets and walls in particular need attention) and no need for radiators to be on during the summer - some of the corridors were uncomfortably hot. Carpets smelly.

Ok stay, lovely area

Have stayed in the hotel on 2 separate occasions, once with husband in March and this weekend with husband and daughter. The room in our first stay was fine, a standard double room. The only issue was the mold in the bathroom was quite off putting. The hotel staff did acknowledge that the hotel was scheduled for redecorating. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night, the food was nice but the service was very slow. The swimming pool was of a good temperature as was the jacuzzi. On our recent stay we stayed in a family room. The room was fine but we have stayed in far nicer, more spacious family rooms. The bed my daughter slept on was an old metal framed, single pop up bed. The bathroom seemed to be mold free but was quite small. The toilet seat was a different shape to the actual toilet which made things quite uncomfortable. We ate in the restaurant one night and again although did was fine, the service is very slow. We ate on the 2nd night in a different local restaurant where the food was lovely and service great. Do to the hotel having a swimming pool we would perhaps stay here again but would eat meals elsewhere.

No wifi in unloved hotel

The hotel buildings and furnishings are very tired. Window catches on bathroom and bedroom windows had fallen off. Bedroom lock only worked intermittently. The bathroom was last updated many years ago and the radiator was rusty and had black growth behind both it and the bath. There was no Wi-Fi to the room. There was no way you could have the side light on and charge your phone at the same time. Central heating was on on July - I was told by hotel staff that if it wasn't on there would be no hot water. Food was good, service not so 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.

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.

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.

The overall stay was good the staff were very helpful and friendly and the hotel itself was nice however ever so slightly dated and the room was boiling and no way we could find to turn it down. The breakfast was a standard buffet breakfast and was decent quality. The pool area seemed clean and well maintained but the steam room was out of service. My only criticism of the pool area and the hotel as a whole is the changing area for the pool as there are no individual changing areas in the mens changing room and there were two young girls in there which i felt to be quite inappropriate as i had to leave and wait for them to finish up before changing. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will likely be back.
