Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location was good with a loch view. Hotel was clean. Room modern well decorated. The towels were kept in bedroom, no room in bathroom for towels, no towel rail which was a bit odd & no hook on door of bathroom to hang clothes.
Negative: Breakfast was shambolic. £18 per head. All I had was a shrivelled up sausage & half a tomato. There was no room for us in the breakfast room. I had to search for someone to ask where could we sit. I eventually found a member of staff who appeared to be rushing around but doing nothing, he told me to use the dining room. He didn't escort me to the dining room or make any effort to open the heavy dining room doors for us. It was almost impossible to push these heavy doors & carry a plate too. There were too many people in the breakfast dining area. The hotel should have operated a timed booking for breakfast. Everyone seemed to be there at the same time. There was no food left. I managed to get a yoghurt, last one. There was no fruit left. There was only one toast machine & it took 3 goes to toast the bread. Guests were milling around the food, there was no system, no politeness, no order & one guest asked for plates. I felt sorry for the female member of staff who seemed to be working alone, no sooner did she bring a dozen plates than they had gone. She just couldn't meet the demands of a full hotel all coming for breakfast at the same time. There was an instruction to ask a member of staff for eggs to be cooked to order. There was no staff to ask! Only one lady who was doing all she could as it was! There wasn't even any tea bags left. The hot water didn't work. She tried her best, emptied the machine & then it worked but the teapot provided didn't fit under the machine. She stayed & watched until teapot was full. Nightmare. £18 per head for a yoghurt & a sausage & half a tomato. Waste of money. Worst breakfast I ever had! The girl who booked us in was very pleasant as was the poor lady trying to help at breakfast but I found all the male staff to be surly & plain rude to their female colleagues & to enquiring guests.
Summary: Nice hotel, not enough staff at breakfast. Not worth the money.
