Lochside House Hotel & Spa

Check in was tedious for a start. Took ages. How can you have a remote wedding venue with no charging points? loads of guests will need them and probably wouldnt want to leave their cars, premium or not, charging in the suggested two neighbouring villages overnight and I am sure you know what this means! Its Just like a wedding factory falling short of pheonix nights. Just come and spend as much money as possible then beat it. The quality of breakfast items is just poor, not only that, there is a supplement for pancakes or eggs benedict. How do you get to a supplement for these dishes vs a full breakfast? The sausages, black pudding, orange juice (worst ever, more like cordial) really beggars belief. Rough, Rough ,Rough. If you are attending a wedding here, be mindful of your ensuing shafting. Nice Toilets by reception though.

Truly amazing experience , great service and friendly staff.

Breakfast was very good and good selection. Room was a brilliant size and the spa facilities were great. Would be nice to have complimentary water within the room

Beautiful lodge, amazing stay from start to finish. Will definitely be back

Rooms are clean, well furnished and cosy. Lovely outlook over fountain, beautiful views and great staff. The star of the show is the restaurant. As a vegetarian I was very impressed that for once I was given a separate menu for vegetarians. Fantastic, as this happens so rarely!! Professional chefs not based at Lochside please take note, a lot of vegetarians are absolutely bored stiff with the usual unimaginative offering of risotto or tomato pasta usually squeezed onto the menu between meat and fish !!Tonight I enjoyed delicious tempura vegetables with a light and crispy batter followed by chickpea en croute served with perfectly cooked al denté vegetables. Absolutely delicious !! Thank you.

Ok what to say about our stay? From the Lowes suite we stayed in, to the bar and restaurant. I can only say one thing. “They just do everything right”All the staff are a credit to the hotel At tentative and professional. The grounds and views are great also

Beautiful hotel our room was lovely and the bed was so comfortable. Our evening meal was absolutely amazing:) Everything about or stay was perfect could not fault in any way. I would definitely recommend for a relaxing get away. Will return in the future thank you to all at Lochside.

We went here with a voucher we were given for overnight stay plus dinner,bed and breakfast on probably the worse night of the winter so far.We were given room 5 upstairs and the first thing I noticed when entering room was the creaking floorboards in our room and could hear the same from people moving around next door.Room was lovely but when I went round the side of the bed the floor was soaking,I thought maid must have spilled something but next morning it was the same.I reported it to the receptionist in case it was an underfloor leaking pipe,reception said rooms on other side had problems with roof tiles week before but not our side.Bathroom very nice but toilet pan had a constant drip that annoyed me all night,I ended up putting toilet paper in pan to try to reduce noise.From 4 in the morning for 1 and a half hours there was a constant thump thump noise coming from somewhere I think outside but don’t know,it woke my wife up as well and she sleeps like a log.I think we were dead unlucky with the room but I had the worse sleep ever.Dinner was very nice although the supplements were quite harsh.Breakfast was nice as well but again supplements were uncalled for.My wife asked for pancakes instead of full Scottish and got charged £4 or something,The decor in hotel was very nice and is without doubt a lovely place to go but I was there years ago at a funeral during the summer and was much better as the scenery is spectacular.It really was a shame about our room but for the cost of our stay we certainly didn’t have a nice experience.

Good food. Poor, slow service. Table 19 is very small. I asked for the only remaining window seat after i saw our table. Our waiter said he would check to see if it was reserved. We saw him setting the table for us, but another waiter gave the table to a couple who arrived after us and were seated elsewhere when they asked to be seated at the window. The staff members conversed, and our waiter returned and then lied to us and told us it was reserved for them even though they were seated elsewhere at the time. We tried to make the best of our visit after this, but the service was slow and very unattentive. I had to go to the bar to order more drinks due to the lack of service. We really enjoyed our food, but it was overshadowed by the poor service.
