Overall Ratings & Reviews The Tarbet Hotel

Comfortable hotel located on Loch Lomond - clean bedroom and food was excellent.

We had a lovely short stay! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, which made all the difference. The hotel is also very dog-friendly — our dog felt just as at home as we did. Would definitely stay again!

This hotel is situated in the most beautiful landscape! Every single person we met who worked there were absolutely lovely! Welcoming and attentive. The room was spotless and even came with tunnocks wafer when room service had been!

Great staff, tasty food and good beer. A little dated but a good stay.

I don’t rate hotels poorly. Nine hotels in 16 days and this is not a hotel that should remain open. Room 234, peeling paint, foul smells, an electrical system where you choose, coffee or watch Tv or charge a phone. You can’t do all at once. It’s noisy from any direction and I slept less than an hour. There is 9” between a small bed and the tv stand. 5 hallways from a lift that is not safe, a front desk that does not care. It’s like a horror movie set. Redeeming qualities. The picture of the exterior, which is why we booked and the bar tender. Go to Loch Lamond and book a B&B

We only stayed one night as it’s on the way to Campbeltown from Glasgow

The room was just ok,but we had a dog so given an ok room. But why when one has a dog,is one put on a high floor. The bathroom was exceptionally small

We had two rooms as a family but both were on different sections. The rooms were comfortable. Keep in mind the property is old, and while charming don't expect modern amenities. Lots of stairs, and a somewhat confusing layout with fire doors, but that's the nature of the property. It's cute though if you fancy a stay at a castle like property. It's right across from the loch Lomond and easy to walk along the lake and enjoy. It's also right by the road, if you are a light sleeper might need ear plugs for the peak season.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The dining options were great and of a very good quality. Breakfast was also very good with an excellent selection.

This hotel ought to be renamed McFawlty Towers. It is so bad as to make the TV version look like the Ritz There are however two redeeming features the first being the staff who are struggling to provide a good service with zero support from their head office. The are understaffed, under resourced and the whole place is crying out for proper investment which I doubt the present owners have the financial muscle to provide. The second plus is the dinner restaurant which served two great meals taste wise, although the presentation left a lot to be desired Given the great location the building enjoys an investment North of £12m might begin to address their problems I write as a long retired architect who in a past life worked for many hoteliers all over the world so have some idea how hotels and restaurants sought to work I did of course share all these thoughts whilst staying with them, but they were not being given any support at all as far as I could judge from senior management This place can only be described as cheap and nasty but really does have the potential to be expensive and fabulous

This was an old well worn property. But the staff was friendly and a great stop on Loch Lomond.

As a solo traveller, I found my single room to be drab and uninteresting. The shower was useless and certainly not good enough to wash my hair. After a brilliant trip to the North West Highlands, I needed a stop-over to reduce my driving time, but didn't enjoy the stay at all.

Very good location with easy parking right by Loch Lomond with friendly staff and wholesome food.

The hostess was amazing. We ate in the dining room for desserts and drinks and then had breakfast the next morning. Everything was delicious. Room had an excellent view and was very clean.

Hotel and staff were lovely, could not fault anything. Amazing location and food was also, fantastic. However, we were on a 2 night DBB rate and upon arrival we asked about the dinner, what does it include. Been to hotels previously who had different allowances for dinner we thought we would ask. We were told starter, main and sweet. Again, asked before ordering dinner and stated we were in DBB anything off the menu, which we were told yes by a different staff member. After the meal we were presented with the full dinner bill and when questioned we were told that it was a £25 allowance per person by the third member of staff, who kindly delt with it quickly. Second evening…. From the 4th member of staff who we mentioned it too told us it was £20 not £25. As you could imagine, this all felt a bit strange, no one seemed to know. When checking out, we had supplements on our bill which no one seemed to know what they were for. We paid for all our drinks as we went along apart from one round which we signed for to be put on the room. The staff were lovely and sorted it all out however, it’s just off putting and we weren’t the only ones at check out having problems with things on our bill we knew nothing about.

Beautiful hotel. Views of loch lomond. Staff were engaging.

Lovely property across the road from the Loch. Our room was very spacious with a view of the Loch. Comfortable bed and nice shower. We had breakfast and dinner and both were nice. Staff were very friendly and happy to help.

Room was very nice and clean.The service in the bar was generally good, although only one member of staff to.provide bar service and waitress service so at busy times considerable delay. All food was served in the bar area. Breakfast menu was ok but dinner was very limited. The menu was available from lunch until 8pm so if you didn' t want chips, burgers etc there was only rissotto or fish pie. Food was also quite expensive. We have used this hotel before but this will be the last time!!

Excellent place to stay.

Great staff.
