Lovely place with great staff.
Room comfortable and breakfast great.
Location and parking all good.
Only issue is that the top floor is accessed by a flight of small steep stairs, not a problem unless you are ageing or have heavy bags.
Other than that very nice, would return… but not to the top floor.
Delightful stay. Ideal location for the Trossachs. Easy to park. Lovely building, nicely set back from road, so quiet. All very clean. Excellent breakfast options (discounted rate for residents). Good value for money. Above all, staff were brilliant, courteous, helpful & efficient, made us feel most welcome. Thoroughly recommended, many thanks.
Great stay. Nice room with tea/ coffee etc and it’s always good to have a tunnocks caramel bar.
All staff were friendly and helpful.
Excellent breakfast , also had an evening meal which again was very good.
Definitely stay again
Only stayed for one night but our room was lovely and very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful, food was delicious. Highly recommend and would love to stay there again.
Food was great also the staff but booked a deluxe room paying £40 more than my sister's standard room and there was no difference in fact the standard room bathroom was bigger so a bit disappointed

Two nights in Trossachs…
Small room with uncomfortable hard bed….
Food good…hotel tired…
Nice property. The day of our checkout we had to leave the place quite early so we asked to get breakfast before 8.30AM.
No chance. Breakfast opens at 8.30 and not one minute before. No exceptions.
Had a great night stay in this old-looking building. The deco inside the building is very Scottish. The room came with 2 sparkling water and chocolate snack. One minus point is the clothes hanging place is small, there’s no cupboard. The location is 15min drive to Stirling Castle.
Amazing small hotel with great food and very helpful receptionists. Comfortable rooms and very quiet at night. Walkable to the centre. Highly recommended.
