We (wife and baby son) spent a night here in mid July. We were in the new annexe – the Clan McPherson Suite or suchlike. It was nice enough – large and clean with modern furnishings. Nice, bright spacious bathroom. Nothing to write home about.
Also, the hotel has a lovely garden setting.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful. No complaints there.
However what let this hotel down in a BIG WAY was the food – both breakfast and evening meal. Both were very poor. Poorly prepared, poorly presented and tasteless. Although the meals sounded great on the menu, the actual delivery was VERY disappointing. One can’t help feel that the old business idiom KISS (keep it simple, stupid!) would have stood this hotel in good stead. Clearly the chef was out of his / her depth.
The fact that the breakfast was so poor as well (not hot, undercooked, poorly presented, cold (!) toast!!) hints at the overall poor quality here.
A hotel that looks as good as this, and which charges £140 per night (!!) really ought to be doing A LOT better in the catering department.
On this basis alone, I will NOT be recommending the Lochardil House.
