Pros:

The Village Inn is a lovely old inn with a beautiful view over Loch Long. It was charmingly decorated to celebrate autumn and very cosy with an open fire. The staff were very friendly, making our stay welcoming. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The room was generous and quiet, behind the pub and restaurant, Plenty of parking, close to the accommodation.

Cons:

As it was raining quite a deal, there was no internal access to the main building. Just a little thing.

Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at what can only be described as a proper pub inn! We met some lovely people including the staff, who were very accommodating & helpful.

Cons:

The rooms beware on the lower floor have quite the fausty smell, and appear to have a bit of a damp problem, but we were kindly moved to another room. The rooms are also pretty basic & tired & in need of a little renovation I feel. The rooms were cleaned though & it was nice to have waters provided, so thank you.
The breakfast was palatable also, albeit a little greasy. Unfortunately my partners avocado on toast was basically inedible! Tinned avocado/guacamole & a really runny watery egg just to add to it. Sorry, but not great & should be a hard one to mess up!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and would highly recommend The Village Inn.
Pros:

Obviously the location is wonderful. We had a room with a view of the loch and highly recommend this as we particularly enjoyed watching the mist/rain come in and then everything brightening up again. The room was very comfortable and clean, with tea/coffee making facilities. The staff were exceptional - nothing was too much trouble and they were all friendly and efficient. A particular massive thank you to the Manager, David, who seemed to be everywhere, doing everything and yet ready to drop everything in order to assist us - you really made our stay even better (which was hard to do as it was fantastic already!)

Cons:

The breakfast was very good - a great variety of things on offer and everything was well cooked. However, sadly the evening meals could have been a bit better. There was nothing wrong with them as such, and it's hard to pinpoint but they just didn't seem to hit the 'excellent' mark.

Linger less in Loch Lomond. Take in the view but go stay somewhere else
Pros:

Going through the main door and turning right into the reception area, you encounter a quirky little room with a log burner and a cosy atmosphere. The room we had been given was a fair size and provided everything you need for the night. It was warm and the bed comfortable so we did have a good nights sleep. Shower was very powerful so no complaints there

Cons:

Going through the main dining room to get to your room for the night and the smell through the door up the stairs was not pleasant. TV had no instructions so we had to go and ask. Not that TV is a priority whilst on holiday for us but there are times it is nice to pour yourself a cup of tea and relax watching TV before you go down for your meal. We learnt once on and working that you only had 4 channels available. Not a deal breaker but poor in this day and age and certainly after we had stayed in another 8 B&Bs before this one on our NC500 holiday. Whilst the bathroom was adequate I didn't, at the price we were paying, expect to see hardboard as a side bath panel with the sticky label still in situ!. Now comes our evening meal. Sorry but for a fish pie at £21.50 it was an overpriced pot of mash where I couldn't decide what I was eating ?Salmon or some other fish, which by the way was dry. Vegetables were that Al Dente that our forks could hardly go through the carrots. I don't mind veg on the raw side but I'd say the chef had showed the veg the pan he was going to cook them in then plonked them on our plates. As I say compared to some fabulous places we had stayed in on our trip the food quality was the poorest we'd had en route. I rarely in all our years of holidays we've had, give negative results but sadly I feel I must do so here. You're paying for where it is. Honestly I'd say give Loch Lomond a miss if you can travel a little further and find somewhere else. How this place gets a 5 * review on Trip Advisor is beyond us and personally I think something 'fishy' is going on there between the few odd B&Bs close by.
