Arrived on Day Four of a walking holiday of the West Highland Way.||||The Hotel is set in a glorious setting with very pleasant scenery.||||It doesn't look like a budget hotel but as we found out looks can be deceiving.||||The rooms were OK and adequate. The drinks cup was stuffing with tea and coffee. Such a shame the mug had not been washed!||||The bar was another poor aspect. Asked for a lager which was as cloudy as a muddy pond. The barman tried to rectify this but to no avail. The bitter was too lively to serve and there was only an extremely poor selection of bottled and canned beers.||||Whilst we refused to drink the lager it didn't stop the Barman continuing to serve it to the hordes of foreign coach guests.||||The Buffet was an absolute joke. Firstly, they didn't have a reservation for us and hurriedly set up tables annexed for the main group of tables. Table clothes were dirty and scrumpled. The Buffet was very restrictive and with 4 coaches of foreign guests and other guests trying to eat at the same time, it soon resembled a bun fight. The peppered beef was tough as old boots. there was only two choices of starter and the vegetables looked like there were out of a frozen counter.||||The pudding options were just the one, Chocolate Gateaux, no cream or option.||||Breakfast was even worse. As we needed to get walking as soon as possible we got down early, and arrived with the staff, 10 minutes before breakfast was due to be served. There was no hot food, just toast and cereal and as a group we decided to forego breakfast and went to the Green Welly shop to stock up at our own expense. At that time the queues were long and the atmosphere frosty||||The Hotel experience was extremely poor. It is clearly understaffed, and the morale was very low amongst the few staff that were left.||||Sadly, this is a hotel that I would use or...

Read moreThis was thé worst hotel experience ever. The linnen smelled like cigarettes, my partner got bitten by indistinct insects in the room, the bed is not comfortable, paint chips from the wall, fungus present on the window sils, electric heating element is almost ripped from the wall and especially the walls and floors are paperthin. Our neighbours were fighting till after midnight after which we heard his snorring through the walls. With all the older people here it also feels like you have ended up in an elderly home with the respectieve service as well. Concerning staff, Pedro is nice and helpfull. Unfortunately his colleagues are determined to make sure they don't run the risk of being labelled like this. Exemples: receptionist is generally annoyed with people checking in, when asking what the diner menu is we got a sigh, a puff and the briljant summary "Well i don't know, I would need to ask the cook... But i guess pork en 3 courses so yes appetizer, pork of something and dessert, when people came to complain about a light bulb exploding in their bathroom the succinct answer was "do you have a bulb tot fix it yourself?"... Would not come back, even if they...
