Hotels in der Nähe von Ben Lomond, Stirling

Upon arrival, the check in went smoothly, but the staff knew almost nothing about the complex and anything about our room. We had booked a 2 bedroom unit in Spruce building which is self maintained unit. Upon checking in and opening the door, we were hit with the smell of mold and an old damp room. Going upstairs to king bedroom, there was black mold growing on the wall near the window. The staff was called and they immediately sent over cleaning crew with bleach to remove. The unit then smelled of bleach, mold, and mildew. The unit appeared to have not been used for a long time. We were offered another upstairs unit, but it smelled the same and was all upstairs. We had to request assistance with heating, which didn't arrive until next day on a chilly day, the TV was not set up correctly. Overall the unit would have been nice if it had been refreshed before our arrival-as the layout was very nice and the view was very nice. We purchased food to stock the kitchen as we like to cook on our vacations. We ended up only staying 2 nights after feeling ill from the mold smell. We had to vacate after only 2 days of our 7 days vacation. Not apologies or credits were offered. The manager was unavailable to speak with us. The grounds are spectacular, but the overall complex is very dated, paint peeling around windows and doors, mold growing on entrance of units, sidewalks covered in algae making it slippery..... Also the complex is very remote, so you would not want to stay unless you are looking for great solitude.

In a quite delightful location, this Hotel on reflection is undoubtedly a wedding venue, and in that I would suggest it worthy of consideration. For us we were bed and breakfast guests for one night and although the accommodations were most comfortable and the catering very good ably provided by mine host Jas, the facilities mainly were quite large and more befitting the wedding venue status. The staff were most friendly and certainly helped make our stay. The dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious and we commend the cooking skills of Jas.

The room was clean and warm slept comfortably except for the room noise above us creaking floorboards and heavy feet at 3am. Warm welcome friendly staff. We were part of a coach group for Xmas, breakfast was really good plenty of choice. Evening meals, the food served was good quality but there was a lack of vegetables and portions were small, children's portions are usually larger. Christmas Dinner was not good, soup, main course again lack of vegetables two small slices of rubbery turkey, and a very thin slice of Xmas pudding. But the same evening there was a buffet meal which was exceptional, plenty of choices and plenty of it, so this made up slightly for the Christmas dinner. Our stay took in Edinburgh and Glasgow and we also had a nice walk into the village of Aberfoyle although being Christmas day everywhere was closed, but it was enjoyable and the scenery lovely. Overall our stay was good and the entertainment was also good. Just a shame about the potions at dinner.
