This is a fascinating historic property set in attractive gardens that lead down to the river. Our room was small (and advertised as such), but it was pleasant and comfortable, with a nice garden view. We had an excellent dinner in their garden restaurant, and a good breakfast.

Charming historic hotel which has very recently been refurbished to a very high standard. The team at the hotel are very friendly and professional and the food is excellent. There are lots of walks around the hotel in the grounds and the lovely town of Callander on the doorstep. Is dog friendly too and highly recommend / also has a link to the Beatles and has a Beatles inspired bistro which is lovely.

This is a traditional and recently refurbished characteristic hotel with beautiful grounds and it's clear that the staff working their enjoy it. The room was a superior deluxe room that was well maintained and comfortable, nice selection of bathroom amenities and fluffy towels. The only downside was the shower is over the bath and the side of the bath is quite high so anyone with limited mobility may struggle to get in. The bar had a decent selection of drinks however they don't make cocktails, there was a bit of a wait to be served on the first night as the barman also served in Strawberry Fields Bistro which is located a minutes walk from the actual hotel, the second night the service was better. We ate in the Bistro on both nights, the food was good but it is a limited menu so quite restricted. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying their.

Cracking Anniversary treat

As always a delightful stay. So welcoming and friendly - and the braw lounges and lovely gardens - mean the buildings and surrounds are as good as the staff. Only issue was the plug hole in our bath wasn't very secure and the bath water disappeared - just when I wanted a jacuzzi in the bath!!!

Wonderful Weekend

We had an excellènt overnight stay, everything was very clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely, very helpful, friendly and polite. Breakfast was very good. We couldn't eat in the restaurant as chef was away but the Potting Shed Bistro a very short walk within the grounds the food was excellent surpassed our expectation.

This was a very poorly maintained property for which we have been charged an exorbitant price. The room was very dated and shabby, unclean and dirty. the tap came off in my hand when pouring a bath. The pillows were lumpy and the bed uncomfortable. The floorboards creek very loudly which makes for a noisy nighttime as you can hear other people moving around. There was also loud music coming from somewhere in the hotel which started at 4 am and lasted until around 8 am - we're not sure where it was coming from, perhaps the bar downstairs which was closed at the time - it sounded like elevator music on a loop - awful. We had little sleep and were very happy to leave. We paid almost £300 for one night here and it was most certainly not worth it. Would avoid it in future and highly recommend anyone reading this review does the same. The staff are very pleasant though and completely understand that the property has been seriously neglected which is unfortunate for them as they have to deal with the customer complaints. Amanda in the Bothy restaurant was particularly lovely and the food and service there were great. Breakfast was fine too. We had booked a superior room - I dread to think what a standard room would be like.
