Ok but needs an upgrade

Have stayed here a few times before. We came for our anniversary but unfortunately wasn’t impressed this time. Our room was nice enough and comfy bed. There was 2 coffee cups with coffee & tea but no teaspoons to stir it. There also was no hand soap, shower gel etc or anything at all to wash your hands with in the bathroom which I found pretty poor. The spa is ok, pool is nice but it’s very tired looking and needs a good upgrade tbh. Steamroom was like sitting in a cupboard.

Had a fab time staff are all lovely. Room was clean with a comfy bed loads of tea and coffee in rooms and nice biscuits.Fire alarm went off a few times after coming out the shower but staff were at door within seconds to make sure we were ok must be very sensative alarm. The breakfast was amazing with great choice hot and fresh plenty selection hot or continental. Dinner was amazing and liked you could get half portions of some of the main meals. The bar staff were lovely and friendly. The pool area with hot tub sauna and steam room was fab and again all staff were friendly and helpful even got to join the aqua gym class which was great and all free when staying at hotel as guest. Me and my husband will defo be back to stay in the near future.

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.
