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 The bathrooms was serviceable but very outdated.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.
