Nice room and great breakfast
Pros:

The breakfast was great, both cereal,toast,yogurt available or self serve cooked breakfast and various drinks as well (Fresh orange/apple tea/coffe. The room was big enough and clean, the beds were comfy. There were tea/coffee available with a kettle with any extra at the reception. In the room hand soap and hair&body wash was provided.

Dinner could be booked and we had dinner 2 out of 3 day and it was excellent. You got your drink from the bar but if you choose not to water was available.

Parking was not an issue and easy access to the main roads to callander or in the town of aberfoyle itself

Cons:

Nothing that i truly didn't like but unless i missed it the price of the dinner had not been mentioned but we didn't ask and at the end wasn't too bad or more than what we thought.

Though understandable the volume on the TV was locked down (presumably to prevent disturbance), papa eho i was traveling with couldn't hear the TV even with his hearing aid.

Hôtel sans charme, plus adapté pour les groupes
Cons:

Restaurant très bruyant. Du fait qu'il y a 2 salles, ils pourraient séparer les groupes des individuels. C'est un peu l'usine

It was what we needed for our 1 night stay
Pros:

The property was warm and welcoming. It’s situated in a beautiful location. We needed a place to rest our heads after dropping our son to the University of Stirling. It was perfect fit what we needed.

Cons:

The rooms are a little dated but it was clean and tidy. Breakfast was included and the staff were lovely.
