Our loch side lodge was clean but very dated and the showers were not very effective. Changing rooms in spa also quite shabby. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lennaert Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The location around the loch was great. The staff was really nice and helpful. The room itself was spacious with two bathrooms. The main bed was hard but good. The second bed was terrible. It was folded away in the main closet in the living room. The mattress was too short and very thin. With a minor investment a good sleeping couch would make it very nice and at least 5 stars. But since the whole purpose of a room is sleeping I have it a lower score. The interior was a bit outdated but very clean, spotless and comfortable. ##### Lennaert Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jairam Jun 23, 2025 The location is very good. apartment is average, old looking and dark. stairs leading up to the apartment was unclean and filthy. Front door key was fiddly and difficult to open most of the times. Sauna was nice and the most important plus point in the apartment. ##### Jairam Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teena Aug 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice place to stay.

Apartment was excellent but well used/dated but the view over the loch made up for this. Recycling could be better. We previously stayed in the hotel but this served us better this time with self catering. ![Room with a view!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B0BA2390C3C4F75E0F5C366BA0280DDF43FB165C1723219275844.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alan Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony Feb 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Sterlingshire.

The self catering apartment has spacious living space but very very tired and dated, made it looks unclean. ##### Thanaporn Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We booked this hotel at the last minute rather than going into Glasgow. It's unique. Hard to describe really. Our apartment not only had a kitchen and three bathrooms, but also a fully functioning sauna. the rugs were a bit dingy but overall it was amazing. the staff could not be more helpful or pleasant. We only ate at the restaurant once for a Caesar salad, and I might skip that. the grounds are stunning as you can see in the photos. A couple things you might want to know. It is VERY remote. it's 20 minutes on single track to get to aberfoyle, the closest very small town. But we did go to Ballard, a bit farther and took the train into Glasgow from there one day, Also wonderful access to Loch Loman and Loch Katrine and Sterling. Also the Expedia website says that the hotel does not have a reception desk and that there is no check in after 7 pm. This is not true. Wonderful reception open all hours. ##### Nancy Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah Apr 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The self catering accommodation was great for our family of four. Two bedrooms, three bathrooms with a lovely balcony and view across the water. The weather was wonderful which made our stay really special. The accommodation was excellent value for money given we visited during the Easter break, we are already planning when to head back. Lots of things to do including lovely walks, boat trips and even some wild swimming although the water was cold as we were told by some local swimmers that the water temp was impacted by melted snow peaks. Expect it to be at a more agreeable temperature from May. Food at the hotel seemed expensive so we ate locally or dined in as there was a full kitchen. Lots of places to visit to enjoy eating out with the Faerie Tree Inn and their chicken fajitas being a particular highlight. The pool on site was great for families but filled up quickly, there were points where it felt too busy to enjoy but it didn’t stop us visiting it every day! Spa treatment options available. I indulged in a luxurious facial which I would highly recommend. We had a lovely break, plenty of time for adventure and relaxation. Would recommend. ##### Deborah Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### fareena Nov 1, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Surroundings and grounds of hotel beautiful breathe taking. Rooms dated and lodges had mould as well as stained duvets and ripped sofas heating issues which made us lose a night at the lodge since it was cold had to wait for it to be fixed the next day. Not hygienic. Staff especially manager Sam extremely rude and sarcastic. Loved the area thoigh pools and spa lovely clean but rooms and lodges really need sever tlc staff need hospitality training ##### fareena Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Vishal Jun 21, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Property is not maintenance and level of cleanliness very low They do not serve breakfast to guests staying in cottage and neither take booking in the restaurant ##### Vishal Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen May 18, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Fabulous location Mixed feelings. We were wowed by the location, views, gardens, general bar and main restaurant areas. The staff were lovely and the main restaurant food was excellent. Our experience of the bistro food was poor We had spacious apartment (good deal offer), very old and tatty, - ‘heart sink’ moment on arrival to the block. The bed and linen was good quality and we slept soundly. The balcony was dirty and grubby. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Philip Jul 31, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Far from the mark Hotel charges luxury prices but is very far from the mark. Amazing location but the hotel itself could be so much more. Service was awful too, made to wait for an excruciatingly long time for simple drinks, for food and when you have young kids that’s not the best. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Weekend in Scotland We went on a holiday weekend with family visiting from Philippines. The location was beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. The hotel was clean. Staff was attentive. We did not had hot water on our 2nd night, but the staff were quick enough to have it checked first thing in the morning. Hotel has its own charm, which is unique in its own way. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment, great to have basic amenities plus having the steam/sauna room was a bonus. Carpets needs changing and the plumbing needs checking, you can hear the glug sounds after turning off the faucet. But all in all we had a lovely stay, home away from home. We will definitely book again 😃❤️ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gordon May 9, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Seen better days... Unfortunately the lodge we were staying in (Red Maple 2) had seen better days. Furnishings were stained and well out of date and not what we expected. Its a shame that the lodges have not been upgraded for obviously quite some time as the setting (Loch Ard) is such a beautiful area. If you don't mind ill fitting doors,exposed wiring and a general downbeat accommodation then this lodge is for you ##### Gordon Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jordan Jan 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Stayed in the self catering lodges and it looked like something out of a care home. Furniture dated back to the 60’s and a musty/damp smell throughout. Shower screen was hanging off, bath panels were hanging off and the drawers didn’t have runners so were lying squint. The WiFi only worked in the main living room, and at this it kept cutting out. We weren’t allowed to book breakfast or dinner as it was kept for hotel guests. Poor attitude from staff, false advertisement of lodges and just an overall disappointing stay. ##### Jordan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacqueline Nov 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Worst place av stayed in. I thought i booked a hotel room but got a lodge. So dated it smelt of really old. The sofa was well over used. Oven didnt work. My husband waited 40 mins for a cold cooked breakfast. No information from staff had to find everything out yourself. No kids menu so had to trave 4 miles to eat. Beautiful area stunning views. But i hate self catering. And dogs everywhere. Wont be back. Sorry but so dated its awful. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda Jan 5, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Great place but could be better Overall lovely hotel and location with great facilities. All staff we encountered were polite, helpful and friendly. We ate in the Garden Room restaurant with our kids and it was more upmarket but lovely food and staff, just more expensive which was expected. One member of staff had a slight body hygiene issue and a dirty shirt which you wouldn’t expect in a more upmarket restaurant but he was very friendly and served us well. We stayed in an apartment which was very spacious and had good facilities like a sauna and corner bath but some things needed upgraded or didn’t work. Our main issue with the apartment was that although it was clean, there were dog hairs on the throws on the beds and this is not good for people who have allergies. My partner has allergies to dogs and it can bring on his asthma. It would be good to have the option of having a room or apartment that is totally pet free but this isn’t the case unfortunately. The changing rooms in the swimming pool building need upgrading but there are a lot of other things to do during the day that we didn’t see. ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great location with good facilities. Stayed in a 2 bed apartment in this fabulous location. The accommodation was very roomy with a well appointed kitchen and two sizeable bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Whilst the large kitchen lounge was bright and airy with a full width window accessing a balcony, the bedrooms only had relatively small windows, making them seem a little gloomy. The bathrooms were functional but somewhat dated with a 1980’s feel to them. One bathroom was in need of some maintenance with a large 1m crack in the ceiling through which the plaster lathe could be seen. There was a small sauna in one bathroom (which went unused). Parking outside the apartments was shared with 8 apartments in the block. This required residents to park with consideration which given the narrow nature of the slots and the generally large vehicles was somewhat problematic when arriving late at night. The location was fabulous with unobstructed of Loch Ard across the extensively wooded grounds. Access to an extensive gym/pool building was free and the gym reported to have a good selection of equipment. Having access to a vehicle is essential as the nearest significant village (Aberfoyle) is a good 10 minute drive. The onsite outdoor activity facilities were conveniently located just offsite on the edge of the loch and offered a good range of activities. ##### Patrick Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Red Deer](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6139537-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Monsieur Jean, Vieux Québec](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Monsieur-Jean.h31365247.Hotel-Information) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Kailua-Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d1879--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sunset Vistas Two Bedroom Beachfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sunset-Vistas-Two-Bedroom-Beachfront-Suites.h871861.Hotel-Information) > > [Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Carberry-Tower-Mansion-House-And-Estate.h1411895.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Newport Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Newport-Beach-Hotels.d8111.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Bangor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bangor-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Bangor.h11451255.Hotel-Information) > > [ITC Mughal, A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Agra](https://www.expedia.ca/Agra-Hotels-ITC-Mughal.h15647.Hotel-Information) > > [Southfort Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Southfort-Inn.h14834020.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Salmo](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmo-Hotels.d6354151.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Winnipeg Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Winnipeg-Airport-Hotel.h528324.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sligachan Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Skye-Hotels-Sligachan-Hotel.h14705327.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/las/kelowna-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/bog/halifax-to-bogota) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Perth (PER)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/per/los-angeles-to-perth) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Laoag (LAO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lao/vancouver-to-laoag) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/phx/vancouver-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyz/kelowna-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Lahore (LHE) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhe/yyc/lahore-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Portland (PWM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pwm/yyz/portland-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ord/montreal-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fll/montreal-to-fort-lauderdale) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Queenstown](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Queenstown.d180018.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Maldives.d109.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Vancouver Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides)
