Lovely location, apartments need Renovating completely…. Taps in apartments are hot and cold individual taps…water so hot that a child could burn their hands…..decor which is dated and tired….everything needs updating and maintaining from our experience… The location is out of this world hence the 3 stars…. Wifi did not work….horrendous coverage in resort - phone signal also not good but to be expected in such a lovely location….but the wifi should be sorted properly by the hotel It’s called a resort - but the tennis courts are missing nets and the court ground is turning to rubble….the kids play area is missing a swing of some sort and is small……not much to do for them…swimming is time limited for kids Apartments are cleaned, but our apartment smelt of pets…. No electric vehicle charge points- absolute joke Overall a lovely location you won’t be disappointed but if you are a person with good standard of hygiene and cleanliness - you will be disappointed as we were.

Beautiful location and the main hotel building is nice and well maintained however the apartments are not and are very dated and in need of refurbishment. The WiFi service is poor which is essential as there is no phone signal at this location. The food at the restaurant was fine and staff were helpful.

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.

Lovely location and comfortable. Our loch side lodge was clean but very dated and the showers were not very effective. Changing rooms in spa also quite shabby.

Unfortunately we did not have internet for 3 nights. And despite informing the hotel mutiple times they promised us to fix it the follwoing day and on the following day it still was not fixed which was extremely inconvenient as we had no coverage on our cellphone.

The location is very good. apartment is average, old looking and dark. stairs leading up to the apartment was unclean and filthy. Front door key was fiddly and difficult to open most of the times. Sauna was nice and the most important plus point in the apartment.

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.
