Liked: A fantastic old house, full of character. The drawing room and dining rooms both have fabulous fireplaces, leaded windows and views out over Loch Long. Furnishings are comfortable and in keeping with the period of the house. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and appropriate en-suites. Knockderry House is less than an hour from Glasgow Airport and on the edge of the Trossachs - a super introduction or end to a holiday in the highlands.
Disliked: Nothing.

Exceptional

Liked: Delightful castle hotel with spacious well maintained rooms and exceptional views. Excellent service from staff and superb food.

Superb

Very enjoyable stay

Liked: We were so lucky to stay here. They upgraded us to an amazing room - room 2. It had the most incredible view of the Loch, a 4 poster bed and a turreted bathroom. All staff were professional and friendly especially Laura. Food was good. We had dinner and a great breakfast. The hotel has a more intimate, less corporate feel.
Disliked: The bath needs to be put on a plinth in order to see the loch whilst bathing

Perfect stay

Liked: Very clean but the history and nostalgia made it memorable. Evening dinner was great as was breakfast!
Disliked: Our room has a leaking toilet tap so the dripping sound kept us awake.

Liked: The location was stunning and the staff were fantastic.
Disliked: I love the old country house hotel ambiance but I think it could do with some very minor updates - but this is me being picky.

Pleasant

Hotel past its heyday

Liked: Lovely period property with a stunning view of the loch. The room was comfortable with plentiful tea and coffee.
Disliked: Severely understaffed hotel. We paid £250 for a room and were expecting luxury, or at least some form of relaxation. Staff were run off their feet (I think there were only 2 front of house staff for the whole hotel), we couldn’t get tea/coffee at breakfast as the waiting staff kept forgetting, dinner was average, felt very much like we shouldn’t bother the staff as they seemed under pressure from every direction. There was only one towel in the bathroom and no iron. I would have paid £100 for the room and been content with the level of service. Very disappointing.
