"I stayed here for two nights by myself. The guy who owns the place is friendly and put on a nice continental breakfast (salmon, cheese, eggs, fruit, yogurt, cereal, and brewed coffee). The bed was comfortable too. The building and furniture are pretty dated though and in need of upgrading. My room door lock was also temperamental. However, that said it was clean overall and the host mentioned he’s actively renovating, which is good to hear as it’s got potential to be a beautiful building...

Recent Reviews in Benmore

Stonefield Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is charming, amazing, and cozy with a wonderful bar, and dining."

Loch Lomond Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The family room was well arranged, modern, and perfect for our group of 5. The drawbacks were 3 flights of stairs and no elevator, and the kitchen is no longer serving meals. However, our room was great and very quiet! Helpful young man at reception showed us local restaurants. Very nice neighborhood with walkable streets."

Arrochar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was wonderful."

The Tarbet Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff were very helpful. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. The room was large and had nice bathroom. One single bed was very comfortable, the other sagged a bit. Some evidence of previous leaks on the ceiling. Tv in the room worked well."

Duck Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean room with super comfy bed and balcony overlooking Loch Lomond. Tea and coffee provided but some green tea and decaf coffee would have been nice! Food in restaurant was excellent and good value for money. Breakfast also very nice. Our second visit. Staff all great."

Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff extremely pleasant and very helpful. Nothing was too much bother. Breakfast was excellent as was dinner on Friday night. Loved the very thick large beautiful towels. Parking was no problem. Very easy access to ferry to. Gourock Will certainly stay again."

Loch Long Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff, comfortable room. Hotel being refurbished 0at the moment"

Cameron House on Loch Lomond

8/10 Good

"In all areas the quality was high – housekeeping, food & drink, facilities and customer service. The staff have been well trained and consistently ‘live’ the Cameron House brand. The welcome was amazing, we turned up having toured The Highlands for a numbers of days, we were a bit ragged and therefore apologetic. The guy at the door, with a twinkle in his eye said: ‘don’t worry kid we get all sorts here’ – we felt instantly at home. The only downside was The Clubhouse. We booked in for dinner there on our first night but unfortunately the place lacked in the quality of service – maybe it was understaffed so we left. Returning to the main house site we went to the Cameron Grill which was excellent so all was well. This is why there is one star missing from our review which is a bit hard but correct. Thank you for a pleasant stay."

Portavadie

8/10 Good

"Lovely overnight stay b&b . Included was 90mins in gym + 90mins in pool area. It was a beautiful day so we used outdoor pool and jacuzzi. Good breakfast choice. We were a bit disappointed with the evening restaurant menu so ate elsewhere."
