We arrived walking off the West Highland Way: soaked to the bone and exhausted. There was a big loud tour bus offloading at the same time, and the young woman at the front desk was so considerate and gracious — without asking, she guided us off to the side and checked us in ahead of the group. Room immaculate. Staff excellent. Really beautifully curated art in the rooms and hallways. Excellent value.

We stayed here to do some walking on the WHW. Our room was very spacious and clean, it was cleaned every day and coffee and milk etc was replenished each day. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The bar area was a little outdated but still fine for a drink after a long days walking. What really stood out was the lovely staff, they were all so friendly and happy to help. We would definitely stay here again.

All the staff were courteous, friendly, immaculately turned out, and quickly resolved any issues we encountered. Nina, our server in the restaurant was particularly attentative. The hotel represents great value for money, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a place to stay in Tyndrum.

Karen

This hotel is a bit drab but the beds are comfortable. The breakfast was not that great (although coffee was good). Sliced bread, canned fruit, average sliced cheese and salami, etc. Staff did not clean tables between parties, so we had to sit at a messy table. We were not allowed to take a cut of coffee to our room. Bartender and front desk staff were very friendly.

Hair all over bed and in bathroom in the shower on the wall and round the toilet. Bed was super uncomfy, the “bottled” still water was tap water. Under average for quality, cannot complain about the price it shows in the facilities and condition.

The staff were attentive but…. The hand soap was empty when we checked in. The door lock was damaged. We were asked to wait until after 8 for breakfast as a tour was also in the hotel. Overall, the condition of the furnishings was poor. The shower did not work properly. The clerk allowed me to use his phone, which was very nice. He asked me to leave a kind review. This was kind.
