The room was unique, decorated with style. Large bathroom and shower (not to be taken for granted in Scottish guesthouses). Exceedingly friendly service at the reception desk and in the attached fine dining restaurant (dinner reservations required). Thank you, Lime Tree! ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Muriel 30 Sept 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The property has some charm but really needs a refurb and attention to detail. Coal fires never on, a bit Spartan with furnishing in communal area, generally feels cold and unkept ##### Muriel Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elaine 15 Nov 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness The room was very nice but quite dusty. Bath and sink both need replaced. Found a tablet (medication) under the bed. Staff very friendly. Restaurant over priced and the food under seasoned. Not much choice either. £22 for vegan haggis! Definitely not worth it. Nice lounge areas and good Wi-Fi. ##### Elaine Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max 7 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Property in good location overlooking the loch and right near the town.

The restaurant was also very pleasant with nice food and drink selection. ##### Max ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olga 25 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a wonderful and very good situated hotel.

I presume the vent, just outside room 3, that came up through the roof was from the boiler. When it fired up at 5am, on a clammy night, the window had to be closed. Outside the control of the hotel, someone paced the floor above most of the night on top of creaking floorboards. Not a comfortable night. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 17 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wilma kenneth hamilton The hotel was perfect and our room was lovely.great location and eill be back. ##### Kenneth Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 24 May 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Sauberkeit lässt leider zu wünschen übrig Wir haben uns am Ende des WHW-Walks auf die Unterkunft gefreut. Beim Checkin sagte man uns, dass wir nicht im Restaurant essen können, wenn wir nicht vorher reserviert haben. Es wäre schön, wenn Hotelgäste hier bevorzugt behandelt werden oder vorab gefragt würden. Nun gut. Leider wurde die Erfahrung gleich nach Betreten des Zimmers im Badezimmer getopt, als die Badewannenfugen voll Schimmel waren (siehe Foto). Gleiches am Fenster im Schlafzimmer. Für uns für den Preis leider ein absolutes No-Go und absolut unverständlich, wieso man ein Zimmer in so einem Zustand lässt. Positiv: Das Bett war bequem, der Raum groß, die Dusche heiß und mit gutem Wasserdruck. Das Frühstück war lecker und reichlich. Leider ist für uns Sauberkeit das Wichtigste, um uns wohlzufühlen. Daher keine Empfehlung. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E474A750791E4FB99D8CF80FD9FBED4F799827661653423125807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### G 23 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### G Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Apr 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna 11 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Liked the four-poster bed. Rooms and style of hotel is good. We arrived late and left early so weren't there long enough to enjoy facilities. ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jason 8 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Everything was great - except the bed mattresses. They are old, sag in the middle, and smell of old sweat - not pleasant to sleep on - no other place I stayed in Scotland was like this. The owner has an Audi R8 and Porsche 911 in their driveway - I think they can afford to replace the mattresses. It’s fundamental. Before you make a reservation, ask if they have new mattresses in the room, or don’t book it. Everything else is great, but the beds were disgusting. Old pillows also. ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Inverness Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Inverness-Airport.h40011708.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information)
