In a great location for exploring the area. They only give you one key card which operates the lights so if one person leaves the room the other is left in the dark. Staff were not particularly helpfull with the exception of Aiden who was very pleasant and helpfull.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Accommodation was separate to the pub, a very short walk across the car park. The unit was very secure, only accessible with key card. The room was large and very clean. All staff in the pub were friendly and helpful, particularly the manager who was overseeing breakfast service. Plenty of car parking spaces with some electric points. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will book again.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is a good budget hotel within easy walking distance of the ferry around Loch Lomond and the train into Glasgow. There is a small shopping centre nearby with cafes and the shores of Loch Lomond . The room had a comfy bed and a bath . The food in the pub was basic but cheap . The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We had an excellent cooked breakfast. The room could have benefited from a towel rail and a daily replenishment of clean cups and tea and coffee. The tables in the pub were not always very clean but that was because they were very short staffed at times
