Staff friendly and extremely helpful, especially kirsty on reception, checked us in early and upgraded us to a lake view apartment. Only downside was all orders from the bar are made from downloading QR code off table, took too long for us to figure out and actually make an order, then waited ages for drinks.

Terrible night's sleep

Only problem was the humming noise all night which ruined our sleep. We were in room 1 which should be avoided! Shame because hotel is in a lovely setting and we had a great meal

Perfect

Great place when you are traveling in the highlands. We had a small pod room that had everything we needed. It was a quick trip but we would have loved to stay longer. The restaurant was very good even for us vegetarians. Cool hiking vibe

1 night stay - pod

Booked a short notice overnight stay in one of the upgraded pods. It was very nice with a very nice location. It was really quiet and peaceful. We booked dinner in the restaurant and the staff wee attentive, accomodating and very polite. The food choice wasnt huge but the quality of the food was good. It was a little pricey for what it was but you are paying tourist hotel prices. Overall we had a lovely time and would consider booking one of the larger cottages for a family event in the future.

This was a beautiful place to spend the night! The room was large (with a surprisingly large bathroom), the dining was delicious, the service was impeccable and best of all, the employees were the nicest we’ve met on this trip to Scotland. We highly recommend the Oak Tree Inn!!

The photos of the rooms were misleading. Paper thin walls. We booked the deluxe double room, which according to photos, had a fireplace and balcony. We did not have either of those although we did have a window looking into the lake and a storage yard of some sort on the next property. We had made a booking for dinner weeks before and they had tried to seat us in a table crammed in front of the main door of a family room, fortunately we asked for a better table and they found us a much nicer area to sit in the pub which was part of the appeal of this hotel in the first place. Not a great experience when hospitality isn't a given. I would choose to stay elsewhere if I were visiting again.

We loved our stay at the Oak Tree Inn! We stayed in a deluxe double, which felt like we were staying in a castle. The staff were kind and super helpful, and the location is fantastic for hiking Conic Hill! The food was also scrumptious. All in all a great retreat in Loch Lomond. We would book again.

Good Quality Room. Too Expensive For What You Get

Check in was nice and easy with clear directions to the room in another building. I think the building was called Loch Say. The room was one floor up and likely a converted attic. Bed was comfortable and, shower nice and clean with all amenities expected. The steep sided roof was annoying and other than the bed, there was no furnishing. We literally sat on the floor to watch TV and make tea/coffee. Location wise, the hotel is centrally located, directly opposite Conic Hill Car Park and where a shop and cafe are located.

Nights away

The staff were very plesent and welcoming the accommodation was lovley clean comfortable. The second night of our stay we were celebrating my patners 70th birthday with 8 other friends, we were refused any more drink served to us as we were too loud! If we had been asked to tone it down then we would have, it was a birthday! The way the staff went about it was upsetting and embarrassing that took the shine off our weekend. Apart from that we did enjoy our stay.
