Had a wedding reception here at short notice and the staff couldn't do enough to accomodate us all. Food and service were fantastic. Several of our relatives stayed over night and commented on how clean the rooms are, and how they were impressed with the full scottish breakfast provided in the morning. A traditional style hotel in a small rural village the decor matches perfectly wit it's surroundings. Excellent value for money, cannot believe previous reviews are on the same hotel. Will definately be recommening this hotel to friends and family, and will be visiting again.

Having looked at the hotel website we were thoroughly looking forward to our weekend away at the Lochinvar, from the photos that we saw the hotel looked nice and the prices suggested this also. Unfortunately when we arrived we were taken to a very old fashioned room without a shower in the bathroom. After asking to move rooms we were told that we couldn't but that we could use the communal shower, we were not happy with this as we had booked an en-suite room and booking an en-suite room in 2011 I would really expect a shower to be a basic amenity. We spoke to the management again the next morning, explaining that we were not happy with the room, the curtains in the bathroom would not close properly, a foul smell came out of the bath when the water was going down the plug hole, the carpet was frayed around the edges, behind the furniture hadn't been cleaned and although I could continue this list at length the worst part was the bathroom, it was generally unclean everywhere and as the area around the bath was not tiled there was a thick black line of mould lining the edge of the bath with the wall paper peeling around it.
Although some reviews have said the food was good we did not experience this, the breakfast was very greasy and we had to ask for cutlery and napkins.
After speaking with the owner the most worrying part of this stay was that he thought his rooms were more than suitable for the prices he charges. I wholly disagree with this and having worked in the hospitality industry for many years believe that the current owner of this hotel really needs to assess his ability at running such a place. This hotel is in a beautiful location and with the right ideas about how to run a hotel could do really well. Having since seen rooms at the pub further up the road I know where I would stay if I visited the area again.

the hotel has been refurbished downstairs and looks a lot better than it used to - which was pretty dire, old fashioned, dull, very time warp. we didn't stay at the hotel, just dined there. have stayed at the hotel before a few years ago, when the rooms were pretty dull and needed a lot of work, and the communal areas were very tired and ininspiring.

Under the new ownership, the food is better but a bit patchy, a meal for 4 of us, 2 out of 4 starters were good, same with the main course. bit inconsistent. they did the more technical dishes better than the simpler ones, which were the ones which were a bit of a let down. maybe will settle down in time and be better overall.

service was fine. the bar and bistro are a big improvement on what was there before as it really did need bringing up to date decor wise.

2 of our party had a meal that they had issues with and two of us found the food fine so hard to judge really.

Stayed for four nights while walking in the area. Warm and friendly Hotel, excellent food.
Room was very comfortable and had everything needed. Will definately stay again.
