Not great
There was really old dried up dog poo in the apartment on the carpet. The hotel restaurant was fully booked and there was no water so no coffee, no showers and no pool

8/10 Very Good

Stayed in one of the apartments, this is a wonderful place to visit if you just want to be detached from the real world for a few days. The hotel and spa areas were in great order. The only negative for me was the carpet in our apartment was a bit grubby in places - spills that had not been cleaned. Perhaps waiting for the winter cleaning/maintenance programme to commence. Not enough to put me off, will be back in a few months.

Lovely and cosy short break
Fantastic views, reception and lounge area very nice to have drinks and food in. Staff very friendly. Very comfortable bed. Elements of our apartment have been upgraded, but general updates across the property are needed. I would definitely stay again.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy time with family. We had a wonderful view over the loch. The rooms furnitures are old, and the floor makes a squeaky noise when walking around the rooms.

8/10 Very Good

Great location with good facilities.
Stayed in a 2 bed apartment in this fabulous location. The accommodation was very roomy with a well appointed kitchen and two sizeable bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Whilst the large kitchen lounge was bright and airy with a full width window accessing a balcony, the bedrooms only had relatively small windows, making them seem a little gloomy. The bathrooms were functional but somewhat dated with a 1980’s feel to them. One bathroom was in need of some maintenance with a large 1m crack in the ceiling through which the plaster lathe could be seen. There was a small sauna in one bathroom (which went unused). Parking outside the apartments was shared with 8 apartments in the block. This required residents to park with consideration which given the narrow nature of the slots and the generally large vehicles was somewhat problematic when arriving late at night. The location was fabulous with unobstructed of Loch Ard across the extensively wooded grounds. Access to an extensive gym/pool building was free and the gym reported to have a good selection of equipment. Having access to a vehicle is essential as the nearest significant village (Aberfoyle) is a good 10 minute drive. The onsite outdoor activity facilities were conveniently located just offsite on the edge of the loch and offered a good range of activities.

6/10 Good

Great location. Good size self-catering apartments, but overall very tired and dated. Rooms look like they haven’t been updated for 30 years. Tennis court looks like it’s not been used in a decade and the playground could do with a refurb. Hotel itself is ok. Food is good in the main restaurant if a little pricey. Service was ok but very clunky overall, “you can’t book this here you have to go there” as they point 10 feet away.

Few wee days away
Family break with dog. Apartment was excellent but well used/dated but the view over the loch made up for this. Recycling could be better. We previously stayed in the hotel but this served us better this time with self catering.
Room with a view!

10/10 Exceptional

There were 6 adults and 2 children in our group. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment and were more than happy with its condition. It was very clean, spacious and had everything required for a self catering stay, although if I’m honest a 2 slice toaster is a bit of a challenge at breakfast time. 😬 The hotel itself is also very well looked after. We had lunch in the lounge area and the food was great. We used the leisure facilities and had no complaints there. The pool is a great size. The grounds of the resort are a credit to the staff. They are beautifully kept and an absolute pleasure to sit in and wander about. The staff we came into contact with were friendly and efficient. We would definitely love to return to the resort in future.
