    Lovely building and setting. Not really the highest standard, food and cleaning could be improved.

    Bedroom at first glance was lovely, huge room with separate dressing area and bathroom. Terrific view of the lake. A big problem for me was the bed was very high and I had trouble getting in (husband had to help, I’m 5’3”). Worse: once I was in the bed, I could see that the gap between the mattress and the side frame was full of dust and debris that I didn’t dare to look too closely at. The restaurant served food that was ok, well cooked and presented, but rather similar to what you’d get at a pub chain, while we had been expecting fine dining. Staff were nice and friendly and put a birthday card for my husband on the breakfast table.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, but, (and it’s a small ‘but’) we felt that the dining room staff were somewhat too informal, we had expected a more upmarket sort of service. Enjoyable though.

    First time stay here-we had visited Lake Menteith before and loved location. Hotel overlooking the beautiful lake,picnic tables and woodburning braxiers on grassy bank. Old building with features maintained to keep the character. Room upstairs was huge with stunning views from the windows. Evening meal and breakfast excellent with a great selection of whiskies. Comfy chairs and great relaxed atmosphere generated by staff who were very friendly and attentive. Brilliant place for a relaxing ovetnight stay to recharge the senses. Pricey but well worth it. We will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff.

    For two years this long-established country hotel has been part of Karma. Almost no local staff with local knowledge remain. Most staff are very recent arrivals. Though willin and helpful, that detracts substantially from the point of hotels like this.

    This is one of my favourite small hotels, in an unrivalled location. The whisky collection is awesome

    The overnight stay was to celebrate my Wife's Birthday and reserved a particular room which we didn't get, which was very disappointing... The Bathroom in our room needed modernising/re-decoration. The bed was not particularly comfortable?

    Hotel in a great Location, with amazing views of the lake. The Dinner and Breakfast was very good with friendly staff.

    We wish we had booked longer!!

    We received a warm welcome from Michelle at Reception. She made check in easy and showed us to our room. We were allocated the Menteith Suite. It must be one of the best rooms in the Hotel. There was an Anniversary card from the staff - a lovely gesture. The room is huge and the view is amazing. There is a door outside the room where there is a table and chairs and it will be lovely to sit there on a warm sunny day. The room was warm and very comfortable with a super king bed. At dinner there was a big choice on the Menu. The food was excellent- we had Scallops, trout fish cakes followed by Pheasant -highly recommended. Callum looked after us well and nothing was a bother for him. He was friendly and professional. We also enjoyed breakfast. There was a good choice and the food was great.

    Shower was just a dribbler, there was no power whatsoever, barely able to rinse the soap off. Breakfast was a bit chaotic, buffet wasn’t replenished. (No ham, meats, cheese, salad). Despite arriving at 9.20 (breakfast served until 10am) we were refused any croissants or pastries, as by the time we asked it was 9.55. We were told other people had eaten them all and the chef wouldn’t bake any more. No decent breads. On the other hand our cooked breakfast dish was very nice.

    Great location with lovely views. Comfortable bedroom. Nice meal. Staff very pleasant. Good value dinner/bed/breakfast package.

    The subsidence in our bedroom added a quaint touch. The smell of bleached floors while we had our lovely breakfast was disappointing. The flavour of vinegar masking the taste of my poached eggs again was disappointing. I had phoned the hotel several days before arriving to say I had seen an offer to upgrade from bed and breakfast to dinner bed and breakfast and I was told this had been changed on our booking however we were still charged extra for dinner. The very nice receptionist did change this when I pointed it out although, again, this was disappointing. On several occasions there was a distinct lack of staff.

    The location was why I chose it and, even on a rainy day, it was spectacular. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Everywhere was very clean although possibly a bit tired.

    as others have mentioned bathroom does need a refurb but all other decor was suitable - traditional style. There was a wedding on which meant we had to eat in the pub section which was a little cramped as the restaurant was booked out but otherwise no problems.

    Beautiful location and views Food was fantastic. We booked the half board option and both breakfast and dinner were lovely. Good continental with cooked options Staff were lovely

    the bathroom was a little dated

    the location is perfect for a peaceful break, you need a car because there is little there aside from the lake and fishing but for us to wake up to that view was perfection. good food and spotlessly clean, massive comfy bed and a private patio.
