a gem in the trossachs

good furnishingcute proprietorpanoramic view
The hotel is delightfully furnished. proprietors are very cute and took time to talk to guests. the restaurant had panoramic views. These were worth the trip. i felt it was a gem.
Driving at night to get there proved a little challenging. I recommend arriving before dark.

a okay, i guess

limited viewabandoned bath
the room they gave me, a "double room lake view", it barely had a lake view. you have to crane your neck and squint past a tree to see a sliver. and the outdoor bath, what a joke, it was empty and seemed abandoned. such a shame, because the photos made it look all luxurious and relaxing. i wouldn't get your hopes up for a scenic soak.

the food was acceptable, and the breakfast offered sufficient options.
I was frustrated the lake view from my room was minimal. It barely existed. the hot tub was a huge disappointment because it wasn't even filled with water, so i couldn't use it! i expected a relaxing soak, but got nothing.

The hotel grounds include a hot tub! it sat up on a hill with views of the lake. I really enjoyed that. the living room had a very comfy solarium. I sat there one afternoon and read, it was dope. breakfast was available, it faced out over the lake from a private dining room! the food was superb.
the hotel didn't have a tv! i found that pretty inconvenient because i like watching the news in the morning. i found the facilities limited, i guess that's on purpose. i thought the wifi was kinda spotty, it made it hard to get some work done
