Inchrie Castle Hotel

we paid extra for a superior room but were given a small box room, our friends room was much larger and when we questioned this at reception they said it was right, and no discount or basic room price offered. Very dissapointed with breakfast food both days never had full breakfast on and on the second day extremely short staffed and had over 30min wait for breakfast.

The staff were very helful with all our issues, will be staying again, evening meal was great,thanks and good luck to all at the hotel.

Hotel was comfortable and bedroom was clean but whole place is seriously in need of some serious cash spent on maintenance. Had reservations about fire safety due to fire doors being all propped open. Don't stay here if you can be overcome by a surplus of tartan! Staff were friendly , good value for money.

Being constructive one can say this hotel has a great location and is well signposted. It says 'Inn' rather than 'Hotel' outside and perhaps standards vary but as the fourth of four places stayed during the week this was a huge disappointment. The room was very poorly set out, no floor space to put a case (I put one of two chairs on the top of the cupboard), one plug to far from a mirror to reach. bed was comfortable enough but furniture was MDF kit style and wobbled. The food was nice enough, interesting menu. But the staff clearly not trained to a standard one has come to expect from places described as 3 star. This is a building with huge charm and great potential. It needs some investment perhaps but most of all it needs a designers eye. As such a designer I'm perhaps prejudiced but this was clearly a case of 'less would be more' and the management could usefully tone down the excess tartan motive, think a little about room layout and structure and spend just a little time of staff training. It could be fantastic. It wasn't.

What a pleasurable experience it was staying here. The outside colour scheme may not be everyone's cup of tea, but once inside the decor is very in keepig with the age of the building. The reception staff were very polite and friendly.
The food was excellent, with that little extra "soething" to make it different from eating anywhere else. Meal times were made that bit more entertaining with Frank, a very funny and droll Frenchman who would bend over backwards to see that you were well looked after with his own style of wit and charm. He had us laughing all the time.
The bar had good entertainment on the Friday with a singer who sang some good old scottish timeless classics with a mixture of other genres as well. He also like patron participation which was always taken up by the punters in the bar.
The room we had, Number 38, Was excellent with nice views over the trees and the most comfiest bed you would sleep on anywhere. The room was quite large, bright with nice hints of tartan. If you want a hotel with a hearty Scottish feel then this is the hotel for you. Will definitely be making the trip here again. It is an ideal spot for Hillwalking with Loch Lomond and Callendar nearby. It is also a good spot for venturing into Stirling if you choose not to stay in the city but still want to see what this great Scottish city has to offer. Definitely stay here if you want something different.
