i recently stayed at the falls of dochart inn, it was a fantastic stay.
i had to cancel an earlier booking due to a death in my family but andy was very helpfull and sorted it out for me.
we arrived and were shown to our room which was over-looking the fabulous falls of dochart, a stunning place to be.
we got settled in and then went and had a drink in the bar, i must be honest here, i found the above named bar man rather ignorant at first but i think when he found out we were guests, he changed his attitude and made it a very enjoyable night with plenty of humour. after a wee drink we went for a walk over the falls where i proposed to my lovely fiancee.
we had dinner in the hotel, it was amazing, chicken liver pate for my fiancee and smoked duck for me, i had the pheasant and pigeon main course, my other half had the beef burger, amazing and we both had the sticky toffee pudding, all great again and well worth the money.
the beds were not the most comfortable, they could do with a new mattress to justify the £95 a night price tag, i will be going back for deffinate

Thankfully we didn't stay in this hotel. We stayed in our 5 star motorhome where the service is excellent. After arriving in Killin for a 2 night stay. We deceided to walk along to the hotel and have a drink and admire the gorgeous view of the Falls of Dochart. There was a queue at the bar with one very slow barmaid. However, the worst of it was that there were 2 other waiting staff wandering about and offering no asssitance to their team mate. We left at that point and had a great time in another 2 hotels with brilliant service.

The next day we decided to give this place chance.........boy was that the wrong decision. Miss Slow was still serving but had the assistance of two team mates. The queue was still there though. The worst was still to happen. £6.40 for 2 pints. Dick Turpin wore a mask when robbing folk. It would not have ben so bad if there was an exceptional service offered.

Thanks - another enjoyable stay with you. It rained again but we were still able to do another Munro with Travis. Good rooms & no telly - bliss. Great food; pity the Tea/Coffee shop is not open later in summer - it would be great if it stayed open til 8 or 9pm at this time of year. Perhaps you could also think about a drying room somewhere for wet coats - just to hang them up in the wood shed maybe? Also it would be good to have a mobile or WI-Fi signal. We'll no doubt see you again when we can squeeze in a couple or three days.

I have been in the travel business for many years and therefore have travelled extensively in Scotland and abroad. I can say that without exception the night I spent here was the worst value I have ever had and I have stayed in some pretty rough spots, while ridding over the Sierra Madre in Mexico and at the docks in Piraeus, Greece, amongst others. I have also had the good fortune to stay in some fabulous hotels, The Chelsea Hotel, New York, Knock Castle, Crief, to many to mention.

Anyway, lets start at the beginning with this one. £95 a night, an average amount of money for a hotel in one of Scotland's most stunning locations. We arrived and there is no reception desk, so we checked in at the bar. As the barman was showing us to our room he said, "if you have any problems or complaints just let a member of staff know". At that point the alarm bells began to ring. The room was basic, no TV, no phone, no amenities, no bulb in the bed side lamp, but heh! what the hell, it's got a view of the falls.

After a long day trudging up Mt.Lawers we got back to the hotel, tired and weary, looking forward to a nice long bath and the luxury advertised on their web site. There was no hot water, obviously we were to late, the other guests had used it all. No phone to complain, so my partner got dressed, no reception, so she went to the bar, Friday night, bars busy and so nobody is interested.

I had a cold bath and realised that there was no way to wash my hair other than to dunk it in the bath. No shower attachment, no mixer taps, not even a jug that I could fill up,(check it out on there web site pictures). Once out of the bath, with cold wet hair, you guessed, no hair dryer.

Down to dinner to sample the wonderful delights on the web site. Six people complaining vociferously at the next table and the waitress telling them they had got the order wrong. There must be a good butcher in Killin because my burger was good, McD's do better presentation though and the meat was the only thing I ate. My partner didn't fare any better and was totally put off her meal by a male member of staff, who wanted to sort out the problems with our room, while we were in the middle of our main course. We still were gracious enough to pay the £35 for dinner and left a tip.

And then to bed. Room 7. The amount of rust that has accumulated on the bed springs since it was purchased in the '50s would sink a battle ship. I have literally slept through a hurricane, my partner,however, is not so blessed and the only way she managed to get any sleep, was to take two pillows and lay on top of them.

Breakfast was good and Betty, the waitress, was terrific, she listened to all our woes and was very sympathetic.

We went to pay the bill at the bar and the barman said ,"£95 please", I said, "I don't think so". So he phoned the owners who were to chicken to talk to us and left it for poor Betty to sort out. We reached an agreement with Betty that we would pay £65, she gave us the receipt for the cash and we departed feeling totally drained. Only to find as I write that they have debited my partners account for the other £30. The matter is now in the hands of her banks fraud department.
