Hair all over bed and in bathroom in the shower on the wall and round the toilet. Bed was super uncomfy, the “bottled” still water was tap water. Under average for quality, cannot complain about the price it shows in the facilities and condition.

All the staff were courteous, friendly, immaculately turned out, and quickly resolved any issues we encountered. Nina, our server in the restaurant was particularly attentative. The hotel represents great value for money, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a place to stay in Tyndrum.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel served our needs well as trekkers well, with an early breakfast, good location for car journey to mountains. The property is a bit run down and needs a lot of investment. Fan in our bathroom did not work nor did the towel rail (or perhaps it was just us not being able to dind the right buttons). Staff were very good, and the owners should count themselves lucky that they have such charming people.
