  • I was a bit unimpressed with Loch Lomond, i was expecting some nice lakeside walks and calm tranquil waters. Instead i got a tourist packed beach of sunbathers. Tip - avoid the school holidays if you can when planning a trip! #Waterlust #WeekendGetaway

Staff are brilliant here. Tam the chef makes tasty meals ,can recommend the carvery for an evening meal and the pancakes at breakfast were yummy. Natasha served breakfast, she's a breath of fresh air, happy and cheerful in the morning, but all the staff are great. The tables could do with a bit of TLC it brings the overall look down a bit. Bedrooms are clean and comfy beds , tea ,coffee ,milk
