Me and my boyfriend Andrew just came back from this wonderful gem of a hotel. We stayed overnight and didn't want to leave! The room was beautiful, really clean, wonderful view and the comfiest bed we have ever slept in. The food at dinner was out of this world we had Simon serving us he is a lovely warm person and he made sure we has everything we needed. Breakfast was fantastic and the plates are very generous. The girl in reception Jennifer was so welcoming and the cleaner was so friendly didn't catch her name unfortunately though. We can't wait to come back this time with our little dog. I would recommend this gorgeous hotel for anyone wanting some peace and quiet and wonderful warm hospitality.

Dated but a good place to stay on the West Highland Way. Staff work really hard and have great customer service. Evening meals were great. Needs significant investment before it looks and feels run down. Hopefully it will get that. Highly recommended because staff were lovely

A really friendly welcome. Amazing food. Lovely room, very nice new bathroom with enormous shower. They couldn't do more for us, packed lunch, filled our water bottles etc etc. Beautiful building and location.

The rooms were a little rustic, but overall clean and comfortable. Our bathroom was off-suite around the hall corner and up a short set of steps, which is a bit of a nuisance if you need to get up in the middle of the night. Dinner in the pub was quite good, especially the shrimp and chicken wing starters. Staff was friendly. Breakfast the next morning was a hot buffet style with some vegetarian options as well. They do offer a packed lunch for the next day: prepacked sandwich, fruit, chips and a sweet. If you're walking the WHW there is a hot lunch option midway through your next day, but beware: when we went through they'd closed early d/t staff shortages. The packed lunch may be worth it.

This is one of those places that has suffered from poor reviews on the past, however on our visit it was clear that they're turning this around. The welcome was friendly, the team there were very helpful, especially in The Clansman bar & restaurant and the food was fine. It's right on the West Highland Way so perfect for walkers and the views have to be seen to be believed, just gorgeous. The only reason it didn't get five stars was because the shower wasn't working in our room, otherwise, ignore the reviews, enjoy the stay.

This is a restaurant/pub and Inn on the West Highland way. I am so grateful it was no further off the path than this. 15.5 miles today. Lots of hills. Our room was ready when we got here. Of course we didn't get here until 1730. We had restaurant reservations for 1800 and they accommodated us moving it to 1830. But even if you are staying here, you should make reservations. Built in 1696, don't expect a lift. There are 2 floors above the ground level. God love the guys that brought our suitcases to the room! You do have to bring them down for yourself the next day. The outer walls are probably pretty original with some touch ups. But they've done a great job of keeping the common areas authentic.

Dreadful. Called in for food and drinks after climbing Ben Lomond, received a parking fine for my trouble (I had parked in the National Trust car park and paid appropriately that afternoon as my clearly displayed ticket showed). It seems an unusual approach to fine your paying customers for parking in your car park. I have left several voice mails and e-mails to no effect. Definitely not worth the risk for fairly average food at a now eye watering price.

The potato was like glue and the salad dripping with oil. The potatoes consistency made it difficult to swallow. For the baked potato you are looking at £7.25 just for it to be frozen and reheated. All in all the food was very disappointing and came in tiny portion sizes for the price that you pay. Missed opportunity.

The Rowardennan Hotel oozes tranquility and serenity, just like its surroundings. With 18 rooms it has the cosy, intimate appeal of an old chateau but with many contemporary amenities. Double rooms are just over £100 for the night but are decorated with modern Scottish flavour, spacious and accessible for all. If you are looking to bring your family away for a hiking weekend, family accomodation is as little as £120 - a bargain to be sleeping in a hotel surrounding by the great outdoors! The Rowardennan has a friendly, welcoming appeal, as does its pub, the Clansman. This pub for many is the first port of call after a day hiking over Ben Lomond, and I was thankful it was waiting for us at the bottom of the mountain. The bar staff make you feel like a local and are no doubt used to people coming in here parched after a hard day's hike. It's very relaxed and has a big old log fire for the winter, and outdoor seating by the Loch for the summer. It's family friendly and the kids can go nuts running down more energy in the play area while the adults tuck into a few beers. I don't know if it was just because I was tired but yesterday I had the best pint of cider I've ever tasted from the Clansman, and was very grateful of the seat. The hotel and pub are in a beautiful, scenic location, nestled in the heart of the Trossachs by the Loch. There is something calming about sipping a pint by the waterside on a balmy early evening. This hotel makes a great getaway destination for people wanting to escape the city as much as it's fantastic for tourists. My family stay on the Argyll side of the Loch towards Arrochar, and it was nice to see it from a different perspective. Although this hotel and pub's idyllic setting make it an unforgettable experience, the hotel itself has the wonderfully warm ambiance of an old tavern, and I would definitely come back here for a restful weekend.

We stopped here during our walk along The West highland Way. My room was lovely (room 2), but others in our party had rooms that were still 'off-suite'. The staff were friendly and attentive. The evening food (bar grub) was ok, the usual steak pie, fish and chips, pastas etc. the breakfast was good though, everything from the full cooekd scottish breakfast right through to smoked salmon etc. On the whole, the hotel is very well geared up for WHW walkers.

We did not stay in the hotel. We did have a drink at the bar and then ask the hotel manager if we could park for the night at the hotel since we wanted to hike in and tent camp in the forest. We had just climbed Ben Lomond that day. He said it was fine. He and the bartender were very friendly. We also had coffee there the next day also fine. Beer selection not the best.
