We loved our stay here. Our room was perfect, breakfast was delicious, the hotel is spotless and the staff in all areas were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The restaurant is lovely, we ate there twice, the food both times was delicious and the view is incredible no matter where you sit.
We can’t praise the place enough!

We had a lovely stay to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. Despite some negative comments I reserved the hotel and was not disappointed. Perfect stay in Loch Lomond suite number 4 with splendid uninterrupted views over the loch. Staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in a great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The surroundings are beautiful. The attached restaurant has good quality, beautifully presented food. The onsite breakfast is of high quality too.
However, the room is very small and lacks natural light and is poorly ventilated. The room we had was pricey for what it was, but was probably based on the beautiful location.

Fabulous hotel. Recently renovated. Restaurant was superb. The views were fantastic. Not a complaint but a suggestion. It would be helpful to have a vending machine with bottled water. You have to go to the bar and purchase a bottle of mineral water at over £6 per bottle. Apart from that absolutely brilliant.

Property was nice although we werent aware after paying £200 to stay for one night that we had to leave an aditional £50 incase we made a mess or broke somthing, we werent aware of this and took offence. Concidering right outside at the public park it was over grown with litter,plastic bottles and left over DIY barbacue trays, end to end parking which meant we couldnt even park, wont be returning
