7.6/10

Even though the rooms could use some improvement with cleanliness and refurbishment, and some design flaws were present, I would still choose to stay here again due to the exceptional friendliness of the staff, delicious food, and breathtaking views of the loch. The spacious and comfortable room with a beautiful loch view made mornings special. However, some aspects like the stained throw and average amenities need attention.

The hotel's rooms were clean and provided everything needed for a one-night stay, but some areas looked a bit tired with peeling wallpaper. The service was friendly and accommodating, with an exception noted for one receptionist. The location, right on Loch Long, was enjoyable, although it needed cleanup after winter floods. The dining experience was simple and well cooked, but there was a comparison made to a pricier hotel with dire breakfast options. Overall, the hotel offered a pleasant stay with some areas that could be improved.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for hill walking and exploring Loch Lomond, but the room left much to be desired with worn amenities and an unhelpful reception. The dining experience had its highlights, and the service was a bit of a mixed bag. Overall, good value for the price considering the location and views.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was small, stuffy, and unfortunately overlooked a wall covered in pigeon droppings. Requesting a different room was met with unhelpful responses from both the receptionist and the manager. The worn bath mats, dirty kettle, and exposed floorboards didn't give a good first impression. Despite efforts to mask odors, a mix of dog and smoke scents lingered. The sheet was too small for the bed and even had a hole in it.

Service

6.0

While some staff members were lovely, professional, polite, and friendly, others weren't as welcoming or helpful. The experience seemed inconsistent depending on who you interacted with. Room service and laundry amenities were available, but the overall service didn't stand out.

Location

The location of the hotel was ideal for hill walking and offered beautiful scenery. It was great for exploring Loch Lomond and the Western Highlands, with easy accessibility from Glasgow. If you are looking for a basic accommodation with a nice view and good value for the price, this location fits the bill.
