Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location is absolutely mindblowing, quiet and picture perfect. You can see Loch Ard and the sunsets are amazing. The lawn and grounds are well maintained and offer some leisure space.
Negative: The hotel itself is old and lacks maintenance. The carpet was awful, everything had an old shoe/musty smell. the window in our room would only open an inch and the room was stuffy and smelly. The cleaning was minimal, everything was dusty. The reception staff was lovely, the restaurant staff was not. There are only very few dishes and extremely overpriced (no other option unless you drive to Aberfoyle). The first night, our wine arrived with dessert - no apologies other than ‘the var’s busy’. We had to chase it several times. The breakfast is minimal and everything other than full english comes with a ridiculous over price (7£ extra for avocado? 4£ extra - on top of a 15£ breakfast! - for a cappuccino?!). The second time we dined, desserts took so long we gave up and went to bed. The pool and spa were good. Overall, the location makes it worth it but it is definitely not good value for money.
Summary: Great location but old rooms needing refurbishment.
