Lovely hotel but not good for solo travellers

As a solo traveller, I found my single room to be drab and uninteresting. The shower was useless and certainly not good enough to wash my hair. After a brilliant trip to the North West Highlands, I needed a stop-over to reduce my driving time, but didn't enjoy the stay at all.

Amazing location, be carefully of sneaky charges.

Hotel and staff were lovely, could not fault anything. Amazing location and food was also, fantastic. However, we were on a 2 night DBB rate and upon arrival we asked about the dinner, what does it include. Been to hotels previously who had different allowances for dinner we thought we would ask. We were told starter, main and sweet. Again, asked before ordering dinner and stated we were in DBB anything off the menu, which we were told yes by a different staff member. After the meal we were presented with the full dinner bill and when questioned we were told that it was a £25 allowance per person by the third member of staff, who kindly delt with it quickly. Second evening…. From the 4th member of staff who we mentioned it too told us it was £20 not £25. As you could imagine, this all felt a bit strange, no one seemed to know. When checking out, we had supplements on our bill which no one seemed to know what they were for. We paid for all our drinks as we went along apart from one round which we signed for to be put on the room. The staff were lovely and sorted it all out however, it’s just off putting and we weren’t the only ones at check out having problems with things on our bill we knew nothing about.

Room was very nice and clean.The service in the bar was generally good, although only one member of staff to.provide bar service and waitress service so at busy times considerable delay. All food was served in the bar area. Breakfast menu was ok but dinner was very limited. The menu was available from lunch until 8pm so if you didn' t want chips, burgers etc there was only rissotto or fish pie. Food was also quite expensive. We have used this hotel before but this will be the last time!!

Avoid

Not a great experience. No hot water. Room freezing cold. Still wet paint in the room which was extremely unpleasant. The other room - the bathroom door was locked so could not gain access. Left at 7am to find another hotel. No one on the front desk to be able to discuss our issues with.

Don’t let the first impression put you off

First impression - from the outside of the hotel - we were a little concerned that maybe we had made a mistake booking this hotel but once inside the Tarbet our initial thoughts were forgotten about Yes - it is a little dated inside but the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food served makes the stay worthwhile Views of Loch Lomond - amazing
