This place was really cute! It was such a beautiful location tucked away off the road. I remember seeing it and being so blown away by how beautiful it was, and the grounds are amazing as well. My only complaint is that the walls are thin, and our neighbors were quite loud, but that is not in the staff’s control so I am not marking the review down. It did not disrupt the quality of our stay overall, just be aware and maybe bring some earplugs. Otherwise, it was fantastic.

Paid almost £300 for one night including dog fees, and it was nowhere near worth it. The room was tired and poorly maintained, with mould around the windows, damp, cracked walls and tiles, and dirty-looking carpets. Dinner and breakfast were both overpriced and disappointing. The only saving grace was the lovely staff and the beautiful location. We only stayed because we’d driven a long way with our four-year-old. Sadly, we wouldn’t return or recommend it at this price.

Beautiful grounds and location !!!
The hotel inside needs updating screams for a makeover , it’s smelly : like damp / mould the carpets are old and dirty but the decor is nice and has the potential to be massively improved , the outside is not reflected inside like they are 2 different properties . Staff all nice and friendly , pool could do with some loungers as there are only 4 to be shared by all families how ? Also the amount of chemicals used in the pool area made our eyes sting and was unpleasant , the pool temperature was perfect . The family room was basic again needs decorating and new carpets , if you have a pool automatically robes should be available in rooms . Breakfast was nice very tasty cooked bfast my husband enjoyed the black pudding said it was the best ! The only thing could be improved is that staff should replenish the bread , pastries etc as quick run out and staff didn’t check

This hotel has the most beautiful surroundings- with wonderful scenic views. But it is soooooo dated.
Rooms are big and spacious - but soo old and with carpets not really covering in the corners - windows full of old dirt and beds not worth spending the night in. Oh and the smell of old …If this place was renovated it would be an absolute gem.
Food not that good - breakfast just the basics and not very well presented. The spa/pool has everything you need but again - could you fix the broken tiles the roof and make it just a bit more 2026 than 1986. The garden - the lake - the mountains. The location stunning!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The gym and pool facilities were fantastic. Our room was very spacious and immaculate and on the ground floor which was easy access for our dog. One thing to be aware of is that the dining slots book up quickly - it might be worth ringing the hotel before your stay and arranging what time you would like dinner for. When we checked in our only options were 5.30pm or 8.30pm with nothing in between. This in no way marred our view of the hotel and the staff were always very attentive - just something to be aware of.

Check in was pretty poor. Customer service was very poor and made to feel stupid that I didn’t carry a physical credit card. Abruptly told well you won’t be able to charge anything to your room. Waitress at breakfast had phone sticking out one back pocket and vape sticking out the other.

Food however was lovely but expensive.

Room was large and clean but very tired with cracks and lots of minor issues throughout. Cleaning staff spoke zero English with no attempt to try to help.

What a lovely hotel in beautiful countryside. The staff in Reception were so friendly and helpful. The room was large with a lounge area and very comfortable. We used the swimming pool after check in which was super and quite warm! The dining room is lovely with wonderful views across to Loch Ard and the bar / lounge area very cosy and comfortable. There are so many walks to do around. We hope to come back and try more of them. The evening meal was overpriced. The Cumberland sausage and mash was very good though I felt I had to add more vegetables (which cost an extra£6!). My husband’s Indian starter of fried haggis and paneer was very tasty but his Chicken tikka was so disappointing as it consisted of a plain chicken breast sitting in some fairly mild tikka sauce - bearing no resemblance to the original dish with a small amount of rice and a little naan bread.

On arrival, the hotel reception staff were busily trying to find us accommodation as per our booking through Expedia (3 nights). For some reason, Expedia allowed our booking to go through when the hotels had no rooms available to on the Saturday night.

We were asked to wait 1/2 an hour in the bar while they fixed.

We asked for a good menu but unfortunately the kitchen closes as 8:30. This meant a 20 minute round trip to the local co-op as nowhere served food after 8:30 in the Aberfoyle area.

The breakfast was awful, no vegetarian menu options available. On perusing the continental breakfast I spotted a long dark hair on the fruit platter; I alerted the staff who said they would removed. I thought they would removed the whole tray but to my, and my partners horror, they brought kitchen tweezers and carefully removed the hair - I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Needless to say, I did not pay the £26 per head for breakfast nor did we eat dinner or breakfast again during our stay.

Lots of better / cheaper options available in Aberfoyle.

Immediate starting point for Ben Venue hike with showers and indoor pool for cool down afterwards (which can be used after check out) make it worth the money.

Standard full English breakfast with a number of continental sides given in picturesque dining room was on level with any reputable bed and breakfast but obviously some guests expected a full buffet akin to major chains (despite the clear language upon booking).

Comfortable beds in spacious rooms that have seen better days. Areas beyond the lobby are dated with wear and tear that a flagged hotel would not permit.

Has a campy, vacation lodge feel not a spa and resort feel. Families and older travelers on short stays seem to predominate. Staff were quite pleasant and helpful.

Would stay again if doing something in very immediate vicinity.

It’s advertised on the website that an activity centre offering mountain biking and similar activities is available on-site. However, it turns out that this is actually an independent activity centre located in front of the hotel. While they do offer some activities, they no longer provide bike rentals which was disappointing.

Additionally, if you’ve booked a bed and breakfast room, you’ll need to reserve a time slot for breakfast. We were told this was due to high demand, but in reality, it seems to be a staffing issue - there were plenty of empty tables during our visit. This was a first for me, having to book a breakfast slot at a hotel. Unfortunately, the food quality was also underwhelming, so you may be better off exploring local cafés for a more enjoyable breakfast experience.

Beautiful location and property. Room comfy and staff very friendly but for a hotel of this supposed standard there was a distinct lacking in detail. Of the four days I stayed there only once was the room serviced properly. For example on two occasions the tea/milk/biscuits was not and on a couple of occasions the dirty water glasses were not replaced. In the restaurant on one occasion there were no side plates at breakfast, and dirty dishes were left on the table when other food was brought. The restaurant has a limited menu and whereas one meal I had which was the burger was very good the with the second meal the chicken dish the broccoli was inedible and the sauce with it was not as described. Altogether quite disappointing.

Gorgeous location. Beds were super comfy and rooms spacious if a little dated. No fridges but staff kind enough to store things in the bar fridge where needed. The real downside was the food - undercooked pastry on both desserts. The breakfast would have been great if for the lacking in alternative milks (one of our party was vegan) so we were unable to enjoy coffee/tea, cereal and the vegan breakfast was missing items and no one informed us until we asked at serving. Small portion was fine for me but could imagine others being disappointed.

Despite cancelling breakfast for the 2nd day, the staff would not refund the full amount paid for breakfast which was frustrating.

If you’re looking for a -“quiet”break I would maybe consider looking else where as there was a lot of shouting and singing at the night time outside and on the corridors. We could also hear people banging from up stairs. We came here for a chilled quiet rest from daily life but it wasn’t the case as it’s a very active hotel. The gym equipment was old and faulty however the staff did apologise and advise they was getting new equipment soon. The Jacuzzi wasn’t open and the steam room wasn’t The best steam room.

Stay away

The view of the hotel is really nice and where located is good, however that’s where it ends.
The hotel is old but very tired looking, could actually do with a freshen up. On the first floor there is a musty smell.
Went to the bar for a drink prior to dinner, selection very poor, and don’t have ingredients for cocktails and the staff don’t know how to do them anyway. The bottle of cola was warm and I mentioned this, was informed the fridge has been broken for 2 months with nor repair or replacement insight. Went for dinner and ordered water, the young girl spilt the water over my wife and table whilst pouring. She thought this was funny as she laughed and left without drying the table or offering anything to my wife.
The food arrived where I had the fish, the oil from the batter oozed out of and the side was freezing, the chip (only 6) were thick but undercooked. My wife had Cumberland sausage and mash, with onion gravy, their onion consisted of 2 onion rigs???. They didn’t charge for the meal, but they did charge for my wife’s green veg.
Next day went for breakfast, no toast or coffee machine, you have to order. Some their full English is quite sparse, but you do get half a mushroom.
Our stay was very disappointing and the pool isn’t very big, their jacuzzi big enough for 3 people and their sauna is small, like a tiny garden shed. When complaining at reception you get a card as like the other poor reviews the manager is never available. It’s very overpriced not recommend.

We had a lovely stay in this hotel. Rooms are spacious but would benefit from some renovation as they are quite old. Swimming pool was quite good. I really lived the steam room with added fragrance. Sauna was good too. Area around the hotel is stunning offering nature walks, water sports and peaceful rest.
The restaurant service however left mixed feelings. Its the first time I’ve ever seen supplement charge for all breakfast menu meals but English breakfast (£7 if you want anything else and doesn’t matter you already paid for your breakfast). Oh, also, if you want latte or capuccino, get ready to pay an extra £4 per cup. Buffet was surprisingly small and most items were gone very quickly (on the first day all deli was gone and was filled only when few people asked about it and next day all jam jars were empty too). Also, restaurant staff was a bit arrogant and there is definitely lack of training and understanding what customer service is. Dinner menu is ok but taste wise nothing special and honestly prices were too high for such an average meal.
Overall its a nice place if you’re not a foodie and can munch your full English every day

All was good except the tv remote. The batteries were held in with duct tape, which did nothing as you had to hold them in if you wanted the remote to work, hardly 4 star.
Apart from that we both enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful location friendly staff and relaxing hot

The hotel staff were really nice and friendly. The food was lovely and reasonably priced
The leisure facilities was clean and fairly modern.
Only down side was the noise in the room, I was on a ground floor room and could clearly hear the occupants above with someone obviously leaving early I would suggest requesting an upstairs room if you can.

Lovely Country Hotel

We had a very nice room. Very comfortable bed and really good size. It had a sofa and 2 comfortable winged chairs.
Very nice views over the loch and due to the time of years snow topped mountains.

The external of the hotel is tired looking. We stayed in a luxury room which was spacious but furniture was tired and the bed creaked noisily when making the slightest move.There was mould staining in the bath sealant.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful.
The hotel is set in a beautiful location and there are stunning views across Loch Ard.
I enjoyed the food .the rstraunt is very pleasant.

Rip off

Arrived to no tv signal in the room, with no communication from the hotel before or on arrival, rooms needing upgrades with smart TVs. The sports bar and bistro was closed due to it being seasonal (a pub being seasonal in the UK is a new one). Forced to congregate in the restaurant bar area with limited seating and zero atmosphere or entertainment and accept the higher rates of food from the garden restaurant. Selection of drinks for a self proclaimed luxury hotel was woeful. If you're travelling here bring your own for your room, you'll need it trust me! Now to the worst part, the food... Never in my life have I seen a full English breakfast so poor. Link sausage cooked on one side for what I can only imagine was a minute, bacon cooked under a ceiling light with zero colour on it, and a limp potato scone. Wouldn't have served it to my dog. From what I can see online they have the cheek to charge around £25 for the breakie which is absolutely outrageous. Until this place gets major refurbishment with better facilities I would avoid this.

Beautiful location with great views over Loch Ard and plenty of parking available onsite. Stay was enjoyable although Hotel needs a bit of updating in places. Overall experience was spoiled by the terrible restaurant service

I had a terrible experience with the Restaurant services, the manager made us wait 45 minutes and we had two kids for breakfast.. the room was not in a good condition not even the bathroom.
