Superbe propriété aux abord du Loch Ard. Patio pour prendre l’apéro avec magnifique vue sur les montagnes et le loch. Tout près du village d’Aberfoyle avec foule d’activité pour les familles (location de vélo des 5 ans!), belles balades en forêt et baignade en rivière ou lac. Nous étions dans le secteur au Red Maple de l’hôtel. Très belle vue sur le Loch de la terrasse. Très spacieux et bien équipé. Petit look vintage des années 90s au niveau de notre condo. Pourrait mérité une petite rénovation éventuellement, mais dans l’ensemble nous avons adoré.

The location around the loch was great. The staff was really nice and helpful. The room itself was spacious with two bathrooms. The main bed was hard but good. The second bed was terrible. It was folded away in the main closet in the living room. The mattress was too short and very thin. With a minor investment a good sleeping couch would make it very nice and at least 5 stars. But since the whole purpose of a room is sleeping I have it a lower score. The interior was a bit outdated but very clean, spotless and comfortable.

Rooms were supposed to be ready 5pm, which is fairly late by many hotel standards, nevertheless rooms weren't available until around 7pm. Nice apartments with great views, but no elevators and no help with luggage up 3 floors.

The location is very good. apartment is average, old looking and dark. stairs leading up to the apartment was unclean and filthy. Front door key was fiddly and difficult to open most of the times. Sauna was nice and the most important plus point in the apartment.

The hotel is lovely but is run down and in need of a facelift. I cannot fault it on the cleanness. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Its location is superb! If you want to play tennis, the courts are terrible and in desperate need of resurfacing.
