I love an older hotel for its architectural charm and this was it! Very friendly and hard working employees. Has an elevator. Good food at dinner. Since it’s older and a refurbishment I wasn’t surpised by some musty smell in hallways (not room) or smallish shower

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I don’t rate hotels poorly. Nine hotels in 16 days and this is not a hotel that should remain open. Room 234, peeling paint, foul smells, an electrical system where you choose, coffee or watch Tv or charge a phone. You can’t do all at once. It’s noisy from any direction and I slept less than an hour. There is 9” between a small bed and the tv stand. 5 hallways from a lift that is not safe, a front desk that does not care. It’s like a horror movie set. Redeeming qualities. The picture of the exterior, which is why we booked and the bar tender. Go to Loch Lamond and book a B&B

We had two rooms as a family but both were on different sections. The rooms were comfortable. Keep in mind the property is old, and while charming don't expect modern amenities. Lots of stairs, and a somewhat confusing layout with fire doors, but that's the nature of the property. It's cute though if you fancy a stay at a castle like property. It's right across from the loch Lomond and easy to walk along the lake and enjoy. It's also right by the road, if you are a light sleeper might need ear plugs for the peak season.

This hotel ought to be renamed McFawlty Towers. It is so bad as to make the TV version look like the Ritz There are however two redeeming features the first being the staff who are struggling to provide a good service with zero support from their head office. The are understaffed, under resourced and the whole place is crying out for proper investment which I doubt the present owners have the financial muscle to provide. The second plus is the dinner restaurant which served two great meals taste wise, although the presentation left a lot to be desired Given the great location the building enjoys an investment North of £12m might begin to address their problems I write as a long retired architect who in a past life worked for many hoteliers all over the world so have some idea how hotels and restaurants sought to work I did of course share all these thoughts whilst staying with them, but they were not being given any support at all as far as I could judge from senior management This place can only be described as cheap and nasty but really does have the potential to be expensive and fabulous

Lovely hotel but not good for solo travellers

As a solo traveller, I found my single room to be drab and uninteresting. The shower was useless and certainly not good enough to wash my hair. After a brilliant trip to the North West Highlands, I needed a stop-over to reduce my driving time, but didn't enjoy the stay at all.

Amazing location, be carefully of sneaky charges.

Hotel and staff were lovely, could not fault anything. Amazing location and food was also, fantastic. However, we were on a 2 night DBB rate and upon arrival we asked about the dinner, what does it include. Been to hotels previously who had different allowances for dinner we thought we would ask. We were told starter, main and sweet. Again, asked before ordering dinner and stated we were in DBB anything off the menu, which we were told yes by a different staff member. After the meal we were presented with the full dinner bill and when questioned we were told that it was a £25 allowance per person by the third member of staff, who kindly delt with it quickly. Second evening…. From the 4th member of staff who we mentioned it too told us it was £20 not £25. As you could imagine, this all felt a bit strange, no one seemed to know. When checking out, we had supplements on our bill which no one seemed to know what they were for. We paid for all our drinks as we went along apart from one round which we signed for to be put on the room. The staff were lovely and sorted it all out however, it’s just off putting and we weren’t the only ones at check out having problems with things on our bill we knew nothing about.
