My husband and I had secured an excellent last minute 4 night deal for this hotel with Shearings. After a very long journey up to Tarbet, we were checked in very quickly and made our way up the impressive main staircase to our room. The view from our room was impressive, partially overlooking the loch, but unfortunately,our room was also... More

Dear Reviewer, Having consulted all the Duty management and staff on when you were in our establishment, it is my opinion that they acted in the correct way when dealing with the situation. During the time you frequented our bar, we had complaints from other patrons about noise and language as there were families in having meals. On a separate... More

Myself and a friend stayed in the Tarbet Hotel for five nights while on an 8day mystery break with Shearings. The hotel is set in a picturesque setting, basking in the shadow of the mountain Ben Lomond, opposite the magnificent Loch Lomond. The hotel and tearoom are all you'll find in Tarbet, a small area with outstanding natural beauty. The... More

Beautiful looking old building the hotel is well situated beside Loch Lomond. We were there on a Shearings coach holiday. It is really a 3 star hotel that needs some major expenditure on renovation and modernising especially in the bedrooms. Our room with a view was plenty large enough but needed more storage space, shelves and pictures on the walls... More

Met by a member of staff smoking at the front door, turned out to be the receptionist. Room rather small and in very poor decorative order. I paid a premium to have a view.

Dear Reviewer, Regarding the problems that you encountered, The entertainment usually stops at 10.45pm each night and usually does not disturb too much. We apologise on this occasion if that was not the case. The Scenic view rooms boast an excellent views of the mountains and the surrounding features, but there is a road between us and Loch Lomond which... More
