“Fab food, tired decor”

Rob Roy Hotel

Feb 25, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I stayed for five nights at this hotel as part of an organised coach tour of the area of mostly over 50's (i'm not one of them). From the outside this hotel looks a bit tired and we weren't too sure how it would be on the inside. The hotel is arranged with a main building housing the reception bar and restaurant with the accommodation being in a separate 2 storey L shaped block. The staff where very welcoming and the keys to each of our rooms were in the door. The decor within the rooms was very tired ( a lick of paint and some new furniture wouldn't go amiss) but was also very clean, with most rooms having an onsuite shower rather than a bath. The rooms and corridors were very warm which was nice as it was cold and frosty outside. My room faced the sun rise and the view of hills and countyside was amazing. The only downside to this arrangement is when it's raining you need a brolly to get from one building to the other.

We were on a half board basis, the breakfast consisted of a buffet of everything you could possibly want to get you started. cereals, porridge, full cooked bacon eggs etc, toast, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Evening meal was a four course menu with 3 or 4 choices for starter followed by soup of the day, main course and desert also 3 or 4 choices. All courses where plentiful and very tasty, althought the veg was a bit more done than I normally have it. The restaurant staff were very friendly working efficiently and quietly making sure the food was served quickly without being rushed.

Didn't stay for the nightly entertainment as this was mainly aimed at the older clientale who assured me that it was fun.

Overall I would say that if you are looking for a base to stay while sight seeing in the area and have realistic expectations you wouldn't go far wrong with the Rob Roy Hotel

“Time for a refurb Rob”

Rob Roy Hotel

Dec 10, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

Stayed at the rob Roy once again this year,
First week in October
Had no problems on previous visits,
Was always value for money, staff pleasant and food was delightful.

However I have to say Rob Roy its time for new decor
Time to do away with both the roughcast and that horrid brown
Paint in the bar area.

We attended the Saturday dance and the meal which was lovely.

As in the past before we went walking we looked forward to our
Hearty breakfast sad to say we where disappointed
The quality of the sausages the black pudding and even the beans
Seems to have nosedived.

This really is a false economy as people just won’t go back in the future.

So I hope they take on board that good food needn’t cost a lot
It just has to be sourced t from the correct supplier,

We still intend to use this hotel next year so hopefully they
Will take this constructive criticism on board.

6/6 found this review helpful

We arrived at the Roy Roy hotel late and very tired after a long coach journey.
We were told our room numbers and the keys were in the door. Our room was superb. Plenty of room, plenty of hangers in the built in wardrobe. The bathroom was also exceptionally clean and welcoming. The shower with lovely hot water and plenty of it. The only gripe about the room we had was the bed. I think it had gone well beyond it's use by date. There was no give in the mattress at all and no bounce. When one of us turned over it groaned and make a terrible racket. We did mention it and the chamber person (male) turned the mattress over but I think honestly it needed replacing. Nobody else on our trip mentioned the beds, so we were just unlucky. The food was excellent. Four course dinners every night and the roast meats fell apart, very tender.
The breakfasts again, eat us much as you could. Would stay there again and would recommend it.

“satisfaction all round”

Rob Roy Hotel

7/7 found this review helpful

It was our first visit to Aberfoyle and we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent hotel facilities and great meals. The staff were courtious and friendly and the room was clean and tidy. It was a great centre to start exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossack Mountains. Aberfoyle was a very pleasing spot and the locals were all friendly. The only snag was lack of local transport if you don,t drive. We would recommend the Rob Roy hotel to anyone looking for a reasonably priced place to stay F G and M R Wilson Cardiff

We booked into this hotel for an overnight dinner dance, when we arrived the hotel looked nothing like the web site,we had to pay in full prior to seeing our room, the bar area was in need of a coat of paint and a good clean, very dated decor and had sticky tables. We then went to our room and found the top bed cover filthy with big stains on it, the skirting boards had something brown sprayed on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, the carpet was dirty, you couldnt take your shoes off, the shower room was disgusting with mould round the tiles, the toothbrush holder was covered in toothpaste, we had to wash the toilet before use.The only decent thing about this hotel was that the duty manager gave us a full on the spot refund when we complained, she offered us another room first but we declined.
