On arrival at Brander Lodge Hotel, there were what my wife and I assumed were three members of staff standing at the front of the hotel smoking. By the time we parked our car and got out, they had scurried off, which we thought was unnecessary as everyone is entitled to a break but quite strange all the same. We had a look round for the sign for reception and decided to enter were we thought the staff had went, which we discovered was the bar area, only to find it empty. We walked through into the hall area, which was also empty, and looked down a corridor that looked like it led to the kitchen and there were still no sign of life. We exited the bar and were met by the manager, who asked us to follow him and shot off in a hurry. My wife and I eventually caught up with him at the reception desk and were told we had room 10 at the far end. He asked if we would be having an evening meal with them, and we said we didn't know, as we had just arrived and didn't know what the menu consisted of. He said it's just they are going to be very busy because of the film crew that were staying which made us feel unwelcomed. We said we would arrange our own evening meal by driving into Oban. We then made our own way to our room, which we found to be bright and airy. The bedding was fresh and clean, as was the toilet. We tried to turn on the TV, but it wasn't working, the back of the tv was covered in cobwebs and dust which I wouldn't have noticed had the tv been working . My wife walked back to the reception area only to find there was no one around. She phoned the enquiries number on the desk phone and just then Steven the chef came out and was told of the TV he checked the Tv and said it was probably the fuse and a few minutes later the TV came on. We drove into Oban and had a lovely meal, then went back to the Lodge, hopefully to mingle with the other guests and the film crew. On entering the bar at the Brander Lodge Hotel there was one couple sitting at the fire and the film crew were in the hall obviously finishing off their evening meal. We stood at the bar for 5 or 10 minutes waiting to be served as once again there were no signs of any staff. We took a walk towards the corridor that led to the kitchen to see if we could catch someone's eye but, as before, no member of staff was in sight. We went back to the bar and stood for probably another 10 minutes, although it seemed much longer. We noticed the couple sitting also didnt have drinks, as they had been there before us, decided the chance of having a pleasant drink in the bar was highly unlikely and decided to return to our room and watch tv which was fine until the tv fuse blew again. Then we decided to call it a night. Breakfast the next morning was nothing special for a traditional Scottish Breakfast for me I would give it a 4 on a scale from 1 to 10 . My wife was poured half a cup of coffee and had finished this off by the time the breakfast arrived. The manager had to be asked to pour another cup only to once again half fill the cup and had to be asked if he could please fill it up. All in all we were made to feel very unwelcome which we would have told the manager when we checked out but unfortunately, there was no one there.…
