Had a two night stay in a Superior Pod that was larger and more comfortable than many UK hotel rooms. Brand new, very clean. If you're looking for a quiet escape, you can’t do better. Loch views just a short walk, and right by the national park entrance. Lovely pub, restaurant, and coffee shop on the grounds, meals and baking are fantastic. Be forewarned there is very little public transport in the area, plan ahead or you'll have to hitch a ride.

Very basic room with basic amenities for the price! Bed was not comfortable and the pillows were old and thin. One step above camping for the standard room. Surprisingly the staff was not very friendly or hospitable, which was not the case in the other hotels we stayed at. The food and beverages in the restaurant were excellent and the wait staff was nice. The staff in the store next door was super friendly however. Great store! Highly recommend the store and restaurant.

The property is very pretty and the room was beautiful. It would have been nice to have a mini fridge. The shower although is dangerous. The water would alternate between very cold water and scalding hot water within a few seconds of eachother. The water pressure is very weak but that seems to be the norm in Scotland. I had dinner (fish and chips)at the adoining restaurant and enjoyed the service and the food despite having read some negative comments.

We loved this place! Perfect location with a killer restaurant downstairs. Room 81 is basically an entire apartment with views of Loch Lomond. Don’t miss this awesome place if you come to hike the Ben Lomond

Staff friendly and extremely helpful, especially kirsty on reception, checked us in early and upgraded us to a lake view apartment. Only downside was all orders from the bar are made from downloading QR code off table, took too long for us to figure out and actually make an order, then waited ages for drinks.

Terrible night's sleep

Only problem was the humming noise all night which ruined our sleep. We were in room 1 which should be avoided! Shame because hotel is in a lovely setting and we had a great meal
