“Oak Tree Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

person found this review helpful

My partner and I recently bought a deal for two nights bed & breakfast here and I can not praise the place highly enough. The room was lovely, well furnished and comfortable. Although sound travels well in the building and could potentially have been rather annoying, there are earplugs provided for guests which I found quite a novel touch. The bar has an open fire which is incredibly pleasant to sit beside enjoying a few drinks and the food is wonderful. The staff are all incredibly friendly without being too 'in your face'. The setting is lovely, easy access to boat trips and the nearby country park. Well worth a visit.

Room Tip: Go for the deluxe

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

I said this to many of my scotish friends over the years that once you get away for the probably very good but astronimically priced hotels and guest houses the stardards are amazingly poor. Most agree.
I spent a fair amount of time over the last few years on the West highland Way and the Drovers and Tyndrum are two of note (although not crazy prices) for poor standards.

So it's refreshing to stay in a mid range price hotel that just does everyting right. Spotless rooms , above standard pub fare and above all excelllent service thats in the 21st century. Top marks.

Room Tip: some of the cottages have nice quirks like a conservatorys

“Warmed up and welcomed.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Nipping up from Edinburgh to the Highlands for the day we stopped off at Loch Lomond for a wee hour and a bit. The day was dreich and decided that we may aswell get some lunch in The Old Oak Inn.

On entry you could smell the food flowing through the dining area, we grabbed a table not too far away from a roaring fire... close enough to feel the heat. The staff were there in a flash, smartly presented, polite and welcoming with a smile on there face.

I had a pint of lager (San Miguel if you care) which might have been the best pint I've ever had... I think? My wife had a glass of merlot which was pretty decent for a gastro pub too (and I work quite closely with wine).

Food next and I was impressed that burgers weren't splashed all over the front page of the menu but the last page actually which I seen as a good sign. I had the haddock in bread crumbs with chips and garden peas. It was excellent and the chips seemed home made. Happy Face! My wife had the 8oz juicy chicken breast with loads of creamy pepper sauce, big tatties and carrots on the side. She loved it, the chicken was just as juicy as it said it would be and the sauce was brilliant.

I would definately eat here again and will suggest it to anyone who visits Loch Lomond (Balmaha side anyway) or anyone who does the West Highland Way.

Loved it!

“Perfect in Everyway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

This was our first visit. booked for the Friday night but it was so good we decided to stay Saturday night as well. The staff were really helpful and attentive at all times, food was excellent, we stayed in one of the cottages our room was perfect with patio doors leading to a decked area with a table and chairs. We will be returning as soon as possible. Well done to the owners and staff.
