    Breakfast was excellent, maybe only comment was on the quality of coffee. Maybe an upgrade to an individual cafetière and ground coffee, rather than instant?

Tim & Andrea
It is like a home from home. Comfortable, contemporary styled bedrooms with fabulous ensuite shower rooms, superking sized beds, Sky satellite TV, new double glazed windows and internet access. The new windows make the bedrooms quieter. We are on a busy road and our feedback suggests that some guests find it noisy. We took this on board and installed better windows with acoustic glass to reduce any noise in the rooms.
We would like all our guests to feel welcomed, cared for and valued. Each day is a new day where we enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. And from around the world! All our team enjoy eating lots of cake too.
Located within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park, you can lose yourself in our hills, mountains and forests and not meet another sole. Trout filled lochs, Cycle route 7, excellent restaurants and fabulous people.
