Having read the reviews of the hotel on this site before I went, I was expecting an awful experience. I must say as a seasoned traveller I have had a wealth of experience of establishments of varying quality. It was my first visit to this area of Scotland and I was unsure of what to expect. I must say I was pleasently surprised. The hotel has a very interesting history and is in an excellent location overlooking Lock Lomond it'self. It is as they say "in the middle of nowhere" and access is via a very long winding road. There is access to the opposite shore via ferry.
It is a no frills establishment and what you see is what you get. I found it clean, comfortable and suitable for my needs. The staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food is unpretentious and adequate, don't expect Ala cart or gourmet standards it's not that kind of establishment. It is reasonable and I have nothing negative to say about it. I will add there was choice and they were able to cater for different dietry needs.
When you consider the cost of our 4 night stay was arround £130.00, bed breakfast and evening meal is a bargain indeed.
There is an excellent selection of very reasonably priced quality malt whiskeys behind the bar and I found the bar prices in general to be very reasonable.
I stayed with a party of 4 who equaly found it a pleasent experience.
The question is as always, would I stay there again? and my answer; yes without question.
