Pleasant hotel

Conveniently close to the West Highland Way if you want a proper hotel with en-suite bathroom for a night! This is why we booked and we found it very convenient. There is free on site parking. The hotel is very close to all the restaurants and amenities of Tyndrum close enough to walk. The hotel is very pleasant, clean, good service. The room was booked as a double but is two single beds pushed together.

Bedroom was comfortable with good beds. Quite a lot of space. Tv a little too small especially when viewed from the beds. The main faults were several things in the bathroom with the major problem being dangerously hot water which nearly caused scalding.

The staff were attentive but…. The hand soap was empty when we checked in. The door lock was damaged. We were asked to wait until after 8 for breakfast as a tour was also in the hotel. Overall, the condition of the furnishings was poor. The shower did not work properly. The clerk allowed me to use his phone, which was very nice. He asked me to leave a kind review. This was kind.

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.

This hotel is a bit drab but the beds are comfortable. The breakfast was not that great (although coffee was good). Sliced bread, canned fruit, average sliced cheese and salami, etc. Staff did not clean tables between parties, so we had to sit at a messy table. We were not allowed to take a cut of coffee to our room. Bartender and front desk staff were very friendly.

Hair all over bed and in bathroom in the shower on the wall and round the toilet. Bed was super uncomfy, the “bottled” still water was tap water. Under average for quality, cannot complain about the price it shows in the facilities and condition.

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.
