Travelling as a single person i felt that staff didnt give a crap about me. Put into the worst apartment. Music blasting from kitchen 9am until 9pm, could hear it in all rooms of apartment but especially in bedroom. Staff did nothing when complained Food in restaraunt was very poor especially for the price. Would rather go to wetherspoons. Honestly the worst steak i have ever seen. Complained to waiter but he didnt listen and walked off. Bar staff just said they were busy so thats whats expected. The hotel grounds are lovely. Very close to hiking trails which was great. Staff didnt know about any of this and offered me a map from closest town. Pool/gym are great.

Rooms were supposed to be ready 5pm, which is fairly late by many hotel standards, nevertheless rooms weren't available until around 7pm. Nice apartments with great views, but no elevators and no help with luggage up 3 floors.

We booked this hotel at the last minute rather than going into Glasgow. It's unique. Hard to describe really. Our apartment not only had a kitchen and three bathrooms, but also a fully functioning sauna. the rugs were a bit dingy but overall it was amazing. the staff could not be more helpful or pleasant. We only ate at the restaurant once for a Caesar salad, and I might skip that. the grounds are stunning as you can see in the photos. A couple things you might want to know. It is VERY remote. it's 20 minutes on single track to get to aberfoyle, the closest very small town. But we did go to Ballard, a bit farther and took the train into Glasgow from there one day, Also wonderful access to Loch Loman and Loch Katrine and Sterling. Also the Expedia website says that the hotel does not have a reception desk and that there is no check in after 7 pm. This is not true. Wonderful reception open all hours.

The hotel is lovely but is run down and in need of a facelift. I cannot fault it on the cleanness. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Its location is superb! If you want to play tennis, the courts are terrible and in desperate need of resurfacing.

The self catering accommodation was great for our family of four. Two bedrooms, three bathrooms with a lovely balcony and view across the water. The weather was wonderful which made our stay really special. The accommodation was excellent value for money given we visited during the Easter break, we are already planning when to head back. Lots of things to do including lovely walks, boat trips and even some wild swimming although the water was cold as we were told by some local swimmers that the water temp was impacted by melted snow peaks. Expect it to be at a more agreeable temperature from May. Food at the hotel seemed expensive so we ate locally or dined in as there was a full kitchen. Lots of places to visit to enjoy eating out with the Faerie Tree Inn and their chicken fajitas being a particular highlight. The pool on site was great for families but filled up quickly, there were points where it felt too busy to enjoy but it didn’t stop us visiting it every day! Spa treatment options available. I indulged in a luxurious facial which I would highly recommend. We had a lovely break, plenty of time for adventure and relaxation. Would recommend.
