We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very enjoyable

This is such a cute B&B. We arrived in Balloch and stopped at the visitor center first to see if they could recommend a B&B for us, and they recommended this one which was walking distance away. What a good recommendation! This an old police station that was turned into home and then B&B.Our room was clean and comfortable. Cathie was really nice and has a wonderful personality. She also recommended a good place for dinner just up the road. Breakfast the next day was the classic stuff you get in B&Bs in Scotland. Nothing super special but tasted good. The only downside to this B&B is that it has a lingering smell of cigarette smoke from a while ago. So heads up if that is something you are you are sensitive to. Would definitely recommend this B&B and would stay there again.

Friendly Staff

Friendly and attentive staff. Easy to book. Simon was quite friendly and although I didn't proceed with the booking because of a change of plans, I will recommend to friends & family. Best wishes for this Summer.

Enjoyable visit

Lovely guest house that was previously a police station. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed. Great shower. Simon was very welcoming and cooked a really nice breakfast. He was also very informative. Located beside the marina where there are some lovely walks along the river bank. Spoilt for choice for restaurants and pubs.

Very Nice stay at Time Out

23rd of May we stayed for two nights at B&B Time out. We had a very nice time. We received a very warm welcome from Simon, who could give us all the tips about Scotland. He is very funny and he made us a very nice breakfast. The rooms were clean and nice decorated. Thanks Simon for having us. We really enjoyed it.

Highly recommend!

We stayed for the Easter weekend after reading reviews on how lovely Time Out was. It really is the perfect place to stay. Cathie made it a ‘home from home’ from the moment we arrived being so friendly and easy to talk to. Our room was immaculate and had everything we could need. Breakfast was cooked by Cathie and it was delicious. Location is perfect, right in the middle of Balloch close to all the restaurants and pubs. Yet at night it is still peaceful and we had the front room. It’s possible to hire bikes close by so we could cycle along the lake. Fantastic weekend away - thank you Cathie x

Decent Accomadation

We my wife & Brothe inlaw stayed for 1 night 31st August 2018.Cathie was sat outside when we arrived & made & shown us to our rooms. We had twin bed rooms the beds were comfortable, rooms were clean & tidy as was the rest of the house we saw. You are given a breakfast menu to order from when you get there, along with the time you would like it. We ordered ours for 9/930 we got to the dinning room a few early to be greeted with you are early you ordered it for 9/30 Which I thought was a little surly. I said its no problem we will wait. The fresh soft fruit was on the side table in the plastic containers, you buy it in from supermarket which we thought let it down.It ought to have been put in serving dishes breakfast was ok
