Summary: A very , very run down place, clean, but shabby. Great breakfast, quality food and lovely waitress. The bathroom has mould round every ledge, so although its clean it looks grotty. The shower doesnt drain. There are dinner plate size holes in fire door, a ceiling has collapsed in an office / dumping area in the front of the hotel ( they could hide it by just pulling blinds down). Its clearly been neglected for years. The location is fab, it COULD be gorgeous with a heap of improvements.

Summary: Efficient welcome by David. Room ok. Nice bathroom but toilet roll holder missing and door very dusty. We went to the bar, the young man needed assistance from my friend on the correct measurement of sherry. He advised he'd only held the position a couple of months. Id have still expected him to have had that training. Dinner Our meal was average but unfortunately we were sitting where a gentleman was sharing his salmon starter with his dog (from his fork!) - not the fault of the hotel but unpleasant for us to see. Dog then received main course of steak in gravy from the kitchen! This time in a dog bowl. Maybe not feeding dogs human food could reduce your prices! Breakfast Continental breakfast on the menu states grapefruit, melon, cranberry juice, yoghurt - none of which were in evidence. Selection of pastries appears to mean one type! Cooked breakfast was ok. The waitress at breakfast appeared to be new and although polite did not appear to have any training in customer service or her role. I would suggest that a uniform would help to make her look more professional. We went out after breakfast and returned around 9.45. My friend wished to have a drink at the bar but it was in darkness!! No prior warning was given or no staff to be found.

Summary: Beautiful location. Clean and comfortable room but very noisy- lack of soundproofing. Excellent dinner but continental breakfast limited. Bar staff friendly and helpful.
Ann Jul 27, 2025 12:55:21 AM
Summary: Set in a very picturesque place. Just felt the room need a little up dating, damp near the patio door.
Anne May 12, 2025 01:58:21 AM
Summary: Had a lovely stay steak pie was first class
David May 9, 2025 07:22:21 PM
Summary: Spectacular location, perfect for a stop-over. Beds were comfortable, shower was nice and hot, can only get better with a bit of TLC from the landlords!
Angela Oct 20, 2024 01:20:34 AM
Summary: Hotel was very good. Lovely clean modern room with super comfy bed. Staff were all excellent, friendly and helpful. The hotel is in beautiful scenery and I'm sure it is lovely to sit on the terrace outside restaurant and bar in the summer. Food was very good too.
Ian Sep 28, 2024 05:16:10 AM
Summary: My room was a little tired and in need of some repairs, but it wasn’t expensive and it was clean and comfortable. Evening meal and breakfast both very good. I’d be happy to go back when the repairs have been completed.
Sep 14, 2024 07:11:47 AM
Summary: Place is run down and lifeless. Windows are in a bad shape and bins full in view of windows. There was a hairball on the carpet so not cleaned properly.
David Sep 1, 2024 01:22:29 AM
Summary: Coming up by train, it was a convenient and luxury base camp for the Ben Cruachan circuit, if a short walk along the road doesn't bother you. Lovely garden and river. Very nice staff and food.
