Beautiful location, nice little refurbished hotel with lovely little rooms. Food was brilliant, love the little combined cafe/bar idea where you can mix cocktails with cake. Bed was a bit small but for the price, our stay was amazing.

Lovely spot on the side of Loch Lomond. The room was clean, warm and had a 'beach hut' style wood panelling. Bed comfy. Staff were friendly, especially at breakfast.

The hotel was spotless warm and welcoming. We came out of season which was nice. It was quiet and peaceful.
There are spectacular views of the Loch and mountains.
Our room had an outdoor space looking into the Loch where swans came to say hello.
In the evening we sat down for a meal seated near the window. Staff were polite and knowledgeable about the hotels history. Food was tasty and well presented.
We will be returning in the summer.
