Good but not great.

No lorne sausage or potato scones for breakfast, pancakes were rather stodgy but the welcome was warm. Don't expect table ordering for dinner and be prepared to queue as the restaurant does get very busy.

Location was excellent, close to the ScotRail station and walkable to both the Birds of Prey centre and Loch Lomond cruises. Staff were a little slow to provide help for check in and breakfast was missing a few items (the yogurt and fruits) but the room was good.
