Enjoyed the leisure facilities, large bedroom with 3 windows (room 37) but hotel was very short staffed particularly at breakfast and trying to order a drink from the bar. Don't see us going back.

This hotel was a convenient stop along the West Highland Way hiking trail. The staff was friendly, but not all that helpful. The check in staff should have told us upon checking in that there was going to be live music until 11:00 just below our room. We were jet lagged and wanted to sleep early, and the music went for 3 hours. The toilet and sink were not working properly, even with someone coming to service them. The carpet in the room was not clean, most likely mud from someone’s hiking boots. The manager, upon our request, did take care of our breakfast for our trouble, which was nice.

Room was dated but adequate for our needs. Staff were excellent! Had a great time there.
Marco and staff made us so welcome. We had a fantastic stay. Definitely recommend the Buchanan Arms Hotel. Excellent base for exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. We'll be back 👍
This is a nice hotel in a good location for hiking around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Two things: The live music on Saturday night is just a bit loud if you’re traveling with a kid who needs to get to sleep at, say, 9pm. Also, the rooms REALLY need blackout blinds/curtains. In summer, it’s still light in the rooms from natural light at 10pm and getting light before 5am.
Good hotel though could do with some updating, showers not great as there was no water pressure. Some staff were great, mainly serving staff and bar staff, some couldn’t be bothered, they were very helpful with dinner for our group of 9 making sure we got sorted. Would go back if we where in that area again

Disliked: Amenities
Not so good as rated, it’s clean, but not sure if changing bedding, had used towel left in bathroom. Staff are friendly and polite. After answering rating questions came out too good valuation but in reality it’s not so good like you could expect.
Stayed for two nights, hotel was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful, room was very nice plenty space and was clean, maid service was very early and if you didn’t get them at that time they never came back?
Would return to hotel as we enjoyed our stay.
