Pros:

Lovely location and an easy and pleasant journey from the hotel to where we were going (Callander and Loch Katrine). Very comfortable, spacious and well presented room with a view of the loch (see pic). All very clean. Plenty of free parking. We ate in the bar and the mac and cheese was very good.

Cons:

Quite a limited menu, especially for vegetarians but as we were only there a couple of nights it wasn't a problem.

Doorreis hotel
Pros:

Prima doorreishotel

Cons:

Personeel was niet al te vriendelijk. Hygiëne was niet top en vooral de bedden waren doorgelegen en te zacht. Teveel betaald voor hetgeen je krijgt. Jammer want de locatie is wel mooi.

Lloc molt agradable davant del llac
Pros:

Ubicació excel·lent davant del llac. Habitació molt comfortable i àmplia. Bona il·luminació, llit còmode, bona connexió a Internet, bany ampli amb bona potència d'aigua. Petit escriptori per si s'ha de treballar. Opcions d'esmorzar i sopar al propi hotel amb menjar molt bo i preus raonables. Val la pena pagar el plus per tenir una habitació amb vistes al llac. Pàrquing privat del mateix hotel. Personal molt agradable i servicial.

Cons:

Hi va haver un parell d'aspectes de l'habitació que no estaven prou a punt quan vaig arribar, però ho vaig dir i de seguida ho van solventar amablement. En algun moment de més confluència el ritme del servei al bar restaurant pot ser una mica lent, però no és un problema: relaxa't i gaudeix de l'entorn, de les vistes i de l'ambient!

Great starting point for exploring the Highlands without the crowds
Pros:

Nice little unfussy hotel greatly located on the main road from Stirling to the Highlands just off the banks of Loch Earn. Clean rooms. Stable wi-fi. Dessert menu in the restaurant.

Cons:

Rooms were a bit cold, especially on the first night, but the duvet was enough for a comfortable sleep.
Service in the restaurant may be a bit slow, yet the food was great (especially the desserts).
