Staff at the hotel were very good - two young women were outstanding, the receptionist and the young woman managing the restaurant. Their capacity for work was impressive. Had a good meal at the restaurant and had a gluten allergy catered for.

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.

Wonderful location - amazing nature and very kind and generous hosts. I slept really soundly and was shocked to find a stag outside the hotel grounds the following morning. A sign of good luck

Because we had a bad experience at the restaurant outside the hotel (the only one working in one-hour driving area) we chose to dine at the hotel. They told us that the chef was alone that night (Saturday) and could take up to one hour to eat something (7:30PM). We had no choice and asked for veggie burgers, but they didn’t have any (again, on Saturday night with tons of tourists around). We ended up eating fries for dinner. To excuse, the staff arranged a small snack before our departure the next day. It was really kind of them but this doesn’t cover the lack of organization for such an important hotel.

This property needs help. Everything was old and to some extent needed service (eg. buttons falling off the elevator, toilet leaking water). The room was musty. Much of the plumbing needed work in our room.

My room was noisy when moving the chairs in the restaurant at night I think or whatever part of the dining room was above me. Also delivery truck noisy early in morning. Nice room but wouldn’t give to someone who asks for a quiet stay.
