I would think most people pick this hotel for it's superb location on the shore of Loch Lomond. It really is a beautiful spot. The hotel itself is a grand old stone building, although a little shabby and run down inside (it really deserves a re-furb). Still it's clean, and the staff are friendly. This is my second visit. The breakfast is excellent (when do you ever get freshly squeezed orange juice in Britain?!) and there is a dual charging point for electric vehicles in the car park. In summary, I'd definitely recommend this place if you don't need five star luxury.

The staff were brilliant, the room was very nice and the bed comfortable however all through the night there was a constant rumbling noise like a running generator which kept my wife awake all night, i was wakened a few times throughout the night which ruined what was to be a relaxing night away. Such a shame because if not for that thevstay wouldve been perfect.

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

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.
