    No bar service, wanted everything ordered through the App and preferred not to deal with cash. Not great if only wanting in for a quick drink or elderly and no access to apps.

    Very low water pressure in the shower.

    Right on the West Highland Way. Very attractive, great coffee shop and pub. Picturesque setting on Loch Lomand. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom.

    Unfortunately there was no direct access to the loch in spite of its location

    Nice and cosy hotel and restaurant. We stayed in one of the cottages, which are refurbished. Staff was friendly and helpful at all times. The restaurant is very atmospheric with a good choice meals. Ours have been very tasty.

    There was a slight smell of drains in the bathroom.

    The view from our room was stunning. The location is stunning. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We were late arriving but they contacted us and made alternative arrangements for our check in. I'm sad we only stayed one night.

    Having located our chalet, this is mainly where the drop in stars comes in. Not sure what the rooms in the Inn are like, but the chalets are rather a bizarre set up. A contemporary and soulless collection of mini houses surrounded by gravel. Our chalet had three rooms and our room was on the ground floor. Very basic, lacking in any character. In the morning around 8am, thinking we'd have a quiet and slow start before setting off on our long drive home, we were shocked into reality by the sound of cars driving on the gravel, doors slamming, workmen sawing into metal and cleaning ladies speaking at such a volume it seemed the building was on fire. We couldn't open any blinds because they all looked onto the gravel parking area and it felt like we had spent the night in the middle of a car park. Disappointing considering the price of the room.

    After a long drive and then an expectedly long detour trying to locate the place, we were just in time to check in but sadly too late for our restaurant booking. However we were received with a warm welcome and the kitchen kindly stayed open to offer us pizzas. The place was extremely busy, with loud music blasting through speakers which, after a few days of tranquility in the Highlands, was a bit dizzying. However the rustic bar/restaurant with roaring fire was characterful. By 10pm the bar had cleared out, chairs were on the tables and everything was silent. The location is actually very beautiful, next to a small harbour with a little path which leads along the lake to a point where you can hop on a boat for a little tour. And the coffee shop attached to the Inn is very good. You probably need a good couple of days to discover the cove and location.

    The location was very close to the Loch & in a lovely little village. We stayed in one of the superior pods and it was perfect for a night away. A nice size with everything you could need. The staff were lovely at check in & the restaurant attached to the hotel was great for an evening meal. Definitely book though as it’s the only real pub / restaurant in walking distance. Great fish & chips.
