My Wife and I stayed here in October last year for a long weekend, got a great DB&B deal. Hotel & Staff - warm, cosy hotel with traditional Scottish decor, room we had was plain but had everything in it you could ever need, with everything working. En-suite was a bit on the small side, but again we were only... More

We had a lovely 2 night break in this hotel. Staff were friendly, very welcoming & the service was good. The room was clean and average sized. Bed was very comfy. The food was lovely with an excellent choice for breakfast. The entertainment on the Friday evening was a folk singer who covered a range of songs & was accompanied... More

Difficult to assess with hotel closing for further refurbishment during the winter. Room was fine and food well presented and varied. Staff were not up to speed but that maybe was the result of the impending closure of the hotel. Come next year when re-opened will likely re-visit when we would expect the staff standards to have also improved. More

My husband and I used to go to the former Loiriston Hotel regularly but as the service declined we stopped going a few years ago ....To our delight we heard that it had changed hands again and an old friend (Dan from the Dreadnought in Callander) was now in charge.....We could not wait to go back up to the now...

Had a great overnight stay in this hotel and cannot understand the previous bad comments left by other visitors. Suite was very spacious and warm. Bed was extremely comfortable and it was a thought to get out it in the morning. Bathroom is on the small side but ample and had plenty hot running water. All staff were very polite... More

I have now stayed at the Deeside Inn on three occasions over the last three months and the hotel is definitely improving. It really is potentially a superb bolt hole from the world. It has an excellent location in a fantastic little village. Most recently I took advantage of a two night DB&B break (including wine at Dinner) at a... More

Good location, helpful staff. Only issue was the room 8 was directly above the main sitting room which was very busy so no sleep afforded until the last resident had retired. I would think this the same for all the rooms situated above the main sitting room. Apart from that.. Fine More

My husband and I were booked in for four nights dinner bed and breakfast, and from checking in had checked out (running) within 2hours!!!!!! This has honestly been the worst hotel I have ever been in. On arrival we were given keys to our room, on entering the room it was more akin to a hostel. The room was dirty... More
