"Very well located, close to the centre of Killin and the various places of interest. Plenty of parking, quiet setting. Comfortable lounge area, bar and restaurant. Room was well stocked with tea, coffee and water as well as shower wash and hand soap. Evening food has plenty of choice and very good. I would advise booking as the restaurant got really busy when we were there. Good choice of breakfast which was a buffet style.
Staff were really good, welcoming and really helpful"
"The spa facilities were a treat, and the evening meals were excellent. The breakfast options were quite extensive, but the service could have been better."

"Good spot. Room was confusing to find but that could be just me. Pool facilities were wonderful. We did have to evacuate at midnight do to someone having a shower with the doors closed which triggered the fire alarm? Not sure if this is a regular occurrence."
"This is a nice old hotel. They even upgraded our room for no reason. It is an old building, that’s part of the charm, but very well maintained and up to date furnishings. There’s a cozy restaurant down stairs and the grilled fish was very tasty."
