    Having to leave in order to return to "reality!"

    Absolutely everything. This is my 3rd visit, and I have not been let down. Even though I knew what to expect, from the accommodation to the way the staff treat you. The Oak Tree and their family, still went above and beyond. The loaction is just perfect! Don't think twice, just go and enjoy

    The sound insulation was poor from the room above us.

    Room was fab. We had a balcony with a view over Loch Lomond. Loved it. We had dinner in the bar beside the fire. Really enjoyed it. Food was delicious.

    Loved it all...only minor gripe was our room was very hot at night....but didn't spoil stay.

    The staff/service sets this place above the rest. Exceptional. Loved our Loch view room in one of the cottages and enjoyed lovely relaxing bath after a day's walking. Food and drink was great and location so peaceful.

    Oak Tree Inn is something special!

    Can't even complain about the weather, we were lucky to have 2 fairly dry days, sunny mornings made the view of the loch spectacular, a still, dry day to walk along the water's edge and a late night downpour which made the pod seem even cosier!

    The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, Pod 5 is closest to the water and we had total privacy along with the most amazing view of the loch.The pods are roasty toasty, well equipped & spacious with the softest, comfiest king size bed. Fluffy white towels and white towelling robes are provided for lounging on the patio after a fabulous hot shower. The room was serviced after our first night which we never expected as we were only there for 2 nights so it was an added special touch! Breakfast was delicious, buffet style with a choice of just about everything. The sausages were excellent! We had dinner in the pub on both nights and the food was fabulous, the mostly young staff were all so friendly & attentive. There is a great little shop, ice cream parlour and cafe on site, this place really has everything you would need for a cosy couple of nights away, we will definitely visit again!

    The Oak Tree Inn is situated in a beautiful spot by Loch Lomond. We were both in awe from the moment we arrived. We arrived way before our check-in time to allow us to make the most of our stay. We asked the receptionist where was best to park whilst we explored the area, she was incredibly helpful and even upgraded our room out of the goodness of her heart. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, advising us on where best to grab refreshments and where to explore until our check-in. Our room was stunning with complimentary refreshments, including the local ground coffee, such a wonderful personal touch. The food in their restaurant is second to none, locally sourced and prepared from scratch by their team of talented chefs. The staff are incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable of the area and nothing is too much trouble. We're already planning a return in the spring.

    I don't know if I got a dodgy ones but the shower had no power and even putting on "high" ( which you're not supposed to do ), I would have had more power standing outside in the rain. Also, not sure if I misunderstood or not, but was told by a member of bar staff ( behind bar ) that it wasnt a "pub", that you cant order/pay for drinks at bar, you have to sit down and wait for waiter. Because of this, drinks were a lot slower than we are used to. Difficult to catch waiters eye when it was busy. Nothing majorly wrong with that, but the nearest "pub" is not within walking distance and we didn't realise that. Still a lovely place though.

    Food was amazing and staff really helpful and friendly. The area was beautiful and the walks surrounding the place were fantastic.

    I booked to stay at the Oak Tree Inn to celebrate my girlfriends 30th birthday for 3 nights. We received a complimentary upgrade to a room with a loch view which really made it feel more special. The accommodation was spotless, warm and cosy & had everything we needed. The surrounding hills and loch were beautiful even in the rain and winds. Staff were friendly & welcoming, the food in the restaurant along with the live music entertainment on our first night made it all the more enjoyable. Check in and out was straight forward and we were provided with clear information re our stay. We had the best time and will definitely return for another stay in the future.

    We were sat in the bar area for dinner and wanted to watch the live music next door after we had eaten and to finish our drinks. We were told there was no room to do that so when we went back to sit at our table in the bar, they told us they had given our table away. We had no option but to go to our room. They had also given me the wrong wine when I ordered my 2nd glass. I had noticed it tasted different, but hadn’t said anything. When paying the bill I was halfway through the glass. They apologised, but didn’t offer the correct wine, so I asked them to charge me for the one I ordered which was slightly cheaper. The manager seemed to be annoyed with us after that.

    Beautiful location Very cute bar area and outdoor seating area Great food
