Accommodation was separate to the pub, a very short walk across the car park. The unit was very secure, only accessible with key card. The room was large and very clean. All staff in the pub were friendly and helpful, particularly the manager who was overseeing breakfast service. Plenty of car parking spaces with some electric points. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will book again.

It was our first time staying in a Marstons Inn but really was pleasantly surprised! Lovely location on Balloch, quiet room and fairly big. Lots of parking and restaurants alongside was decent pub food. Only disappointing bits was air conditioning was there (big thumbs up in the gorgeous weather we had) but sadly it didn’t really work… set at lowest temp of 19 it never moved off the first fan speed. If you stood next to it you could feel a slight cooling. Otherwise the family room we had was really good. Very clean and bigger than expected. I’d say a half star above the premier inn type. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely consider Marston Inns for future northern stays….

Did the job as an overnight stay, although pillows are flimsy and bad quality and the mattress was like a pancake at the head-end. Overall it was fine in the end, but I understand other people might struggle on that mattress. Had breakfast at the restaurant which was amazing, staff were all friendly and attentive. Great experience for an early start.

We reserved a twin room for two non couple adults. On arriving we found that we were given a double (1 bed). When we asked to either change or for staff to separate the beds, we were told no one was available. We offered to separate the beds ourselves if we could just have the linens and were told that staff didnt have access to the linen cupboard. We were given one extra comforter and tokd that the beds would be made right in the morning. We separated the beds ourselves and improvised with what we had. The next day staff didnt touch the room...no new linens, no new towels, no tea bags, nothing. Our final day we were given two twin comforters, but our improvised linens (improvised by us) were not changed. Staff was never available to assist us as they were busy with patrons of the bar and restaurant. There is no dedicated staff for the hotel. There is no closet, no space to dry wet clothes (for a hotel in the Scottish highlands), very few amenities. I would not recommend staying here.

I’ll admit checking into the property inside of a restaurant was not expected. The check-in notes should probably mention this. The servers in the restaurant were very good especially Natasha. The WiFi was pretty much worthless. The property was clean and had ample parking spots.
