Pros:

I did not realise that this was a hotel that took coaches therefore it was very crowded, dinner was set and a lacarte not available. Breakfast finished at 08.30, so I missed out I thought it was 09.30.

Check in was very smooth and friendly staff. The room had everything needed for a short break. Dinner was lovely and the entertainment was fine. All in all we would stay again.

Pros:

The staff was professional and polite but a bit overwhelmed. We were on the 5th floor. I wish we had access to an elevator. In the morning for breakfast there were a lot of tables not cleared and no direction from staff that was coming in and out it. The buffet was mostly empty and no plates. It wasn't until we sat at a dirty table that staff recognized our need and directed us to a completely different area that had more tables that were clean and ready and a buffet that had more food available.

Pros:

The property is in a beautiful position next to the Loch Long with a magnificent view of the hills. Could be more outside seating. Entrance hall to room was horrible, and strong smell of smoke.The bedroom was above the kitchen. There was a continuous noise and smell. The bathroom was not clean and no water pressure in shower.

Senior Citizens Coach Hotel
Pros:

Hotel was geared for coach parties of senior citizens. The rooms and the public areas felt tired. The breakfast was like a canteen with limited choice and poor quality food.. The side of the bath fell off when I opened the bedroom window which suggested some dodgy bathroom plumming. for the money (£120 a night) i would have expected a bit better but Scotland's hotels are now so eye wateringly expensive I guess this is the norm.

Pros:

The property sits in nice grounds, with nice views over the loch for front-facing bedrooms.
The dining menu was limited and the bedroom and bathroom were not clean. Interior paint was scratched in places. I would not imagine American visitors would be happy about the lack of Jack Daniel's in the bar.
