The Clachan Hotel, Lochearnhead

Pleasant, comfortable room with lovely Loch view. Good food although the place can get very busy in the evenings with quite a long wait. This was down to staff shortage and the dedicated staff work long and hard. Special mention to little Louisa for her tireless efforts. Well situated for visiting nearby Killin, Loch Tay and situated on the road to Glencoe. Good experience for a restful couple of days.

A fabulous location, with a great view of the loch. Welcoming, and kind of them to let us book in early. But to warrant a five star review a few things need attention IMHO: The door to the gents in the bar does not shut, and one of the fixings of the loo seat is broken - gives a very bad impression at the start. The bar did not have any lemons, or toothpicks - ‘We’ve been meaning to get some.’ The Wi-Fi in our room was sketchy, and dropped out completely overnight There were (live?) wires protruding from behind the mirror in our bathroom and the temperature of the shower alternated between very very hot to very cold. And, lastly, the clientele all seemed to be hearty types in rain gear, who presumably need a cooked breakfast before hiking up a steep hill, yet it is not available, a shame because the coronation chicken sandwich at lunch was very good. It was comfortable, and the room was fine - it’s just the small things mentioned above that could so easily be fixed, yet sadly no one, seemingly, has bothered.

Stopped off for morning coffee on way to Callander and was suitably impressed so stopped for our evening meal on the way back. The chicken and haggis was very good as was the Cullen Skink and fish and chips. Great to sit outside enjoying the evening.
