Good breakfast and no overall complaints. A fire alarm had all of us out of the hotel in the cold for half an hour at 4AM, but that's likely not on the hotel. I was a little surprised there were no apologies or offers to reduce the rate a bit or even a free breakfast or something because of the situation. Staff was across the board pleasant but kind of detached feeling. Seemed like this property wanted you to know it was your privilege to stay there. Rooms very dated and rather noisy interior. Overall clean, but probably places at the bottom of the list of properties I stayed in during a nearly two-week trip to Scotland and northern England.

Elegance, comfort and scenery

Following its recent refurbishment, The Tarbet Hotel blends historic elegance with modern comfort in a stunning location, great for hillwalkers and couples. My only critique is that the dinner service was a bit slow and the menu felt like poor value for money, but we enjoyed the fish pie and chicken schnitzel. Breakfast was exceptional!

The Tarbet hotel was our favorite stay of our 9 day trip to Scotland. The historic building on the shores of loch Lomond was peaceful and serene. The staff was great and even upgraded our room for free which was a real treat. The restaurant and drinks were good as well. The real show stopper is the view of the loch and the location.
