Enjoyed this hotel, had 2 wonderful days here. The room was brand-new with all the necessities at hand, had essentials required. The staff were helpful yet not intrusive. The venue's location was nice, adjacent to the east shore of Loch Lomond in a beautiful location that is close to a pub, cafe and shop, hiking and walking and the local pub. The bar was pretty great.
The bed was very uncomfortable in this place.
