Chambres vraiment sales et personnel désagréable
Pros:

L’emplacement le long du canal et la grande salle à manger.

Cons:

Vraiment sale. La moquette de notre chambre n’avait certainement pas vu un aspirateur depuis très longtemps. Des poils et des cheveux dans la salle de bain, la poubelle non vidée, des mouchoirs sous le lit, et un personnel très proche de ses sous qui veut que tout soit payé immédiatement de peur qu’on parte en courant sans payer.

Pros:

The location was convenient for our car trip to Glencoe.

Cons:

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The hotel feels a bit dated, and the rooms could benefit from some renovation. There was a musty smell in both the room and the corridor when we arrived, although it disappeared after we aired the room for a while. The breakfast was okay, but we found the selection and taste rather average.

Hard working restaurant staff, poor location in relation to town, generally very tired room
Cons:

The hotel was way overpriced in relation to its tired persona. I paid £190 nightly and still had to pay an extra £15 per breakfast. It no where near compared with Fishers Hotel at Pitlochry and that was considerably cheaper.

Awful. Wouldn’t recommend.
Pros:

The location is exceptional.

Cons:

It is very very tired. Needs a total refurbishment. No cycle storage facilities - very poor when it’s on a national cycle route. Staff service was very mixed. None of it was great but lots of it was poor. Not worth the money and were surprised that Hampton by Hilton put their name to it!
