Finde Loch Ard Forest Hotels

"It should really be a 5 tar hotel but let’s itself down in too many ways. Positives: The building is beautiful. The gardens and surroundings the equal of anywhere I have stayed. Negatives: The swimming pool is the most horrendously over chlorinated pool I have been in this side of 1990. End result from using it is a severe ear infection. The decor is nice enough in a traditionally kitsch Scottish fashion, but looking a little dated. The food was okay, but nothing you won’t get in any decent pub in the UK. The continental breakfast was, by a distance, the poorest value for money breakfast I have ever paid for. We were a little late going down(9:15am) and at that stage all that remained was a couple of options for cerial, 3 croissants, and a handful of tiny pancakes. Given a few other tables joined around the same time, this didn’t go far, and it took far longer than it really should have to top up what was there, and that top up wasn’t a huge amount more than what was there when we first walked in. That said, our breakfast was probably more enjoyable than the couple who asked for a table next to one of the windows and were told thy couldn’t sit there as the tables were still dirty, and were then told that the kitchen was unable to cook an omelette. I have stayed at other McDonald Hotels and they have been excellent, but this one was a let down. It wouldn’t take a huge amount of time and effort to make it worth its name."

"Black bull bietet gemütliche Zimmer. Es ist sehr ruhig und die Betten sind bequem. Leider gibt es keinen Aufzug, allerdings in einem alten Gasthof auch nicht zu erwarten. Das Gebäude ist in gutem Zustand. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück bestellt man am Vortag, leider ist die Auswahl für längere Aufenthalte etwas zu gering, hier hätten wir uns Salat und Aufschnitt gewünscht. Am Abend kann man in der wunderbaren Bar entspannen oder im Restaurant essen. Parkplätze gibt es vor dem Eingang. Eine Bushaltestelle ist direkt am Gasthof, hier fahren regelmäßig Busse nach Glasgow und Stirling. Ein Auto ist trotzdem zu empfehlen, um die Umgebung zu erkunden oder einkaufen zu fahren. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. "
