The Winnock Hotel

Beautiful hotel and very friendly staff. Excellent food and service. Day trip were good value as was the all inclusive meals and drinks Excellent value for money Stay was very good and hotel was beautiful and clean. Would highly recommend this trip!!

We had a great time at the Winnock for an overnight stay for my husbands 40th. As a party of 23 people descending on 1 hotel for a celebration I cannot thank the staff enough for their commitment to accommodating us all. The food was fantastic and we all had a very enjoyable night. I would highly recommend this hotel it was fantastic!

We travelled through Storm Eowyn for Burns Weekend and only arrived at 7.30pm on a Friday evening delayed due to many road closures, so it was straight into evening dinner. Due to the storm on our first evening we had short power cuts and the water was off, luckily the Winnock has its own backup generator. On the Saturday after the storm The Winnock lived up to expectations and was as good as our previous visit. Our room was a family suite with a double and single bed, nicely decorated with good furnishings it had an En-suite bathroom with both bath and shower. Beware of the heated towel rail! Ours was very very hot. The bed was large and comfortable. The great thing about this hotel is the excellent quality and presentation of the food. Because they had over 100 guests staying and staff shortages the service in the restaurant was slow at times. We were on an all inclusive board so there was plenty wine served with dinner and drinks in the bar later. The entertainment was again Scottish themed with Music and Scottish Dancing and on the second night some Scottish history and demonstration of 17th century weapons. On Burns night prior to the entertainment we had the ceremony of Addressing the Haggis with the famous Robbie Burns poem enacted, The hotel is lovely and cosy on cold winters nights. What was a little disappointing is that they didn’t have the log fire burning on this visit. The hotel hospitality was very good considering the storm on day of arrival. On our day trips the hotel kindly provided us with packed lunches consisting of 2 Sandwiches, Crisps, a Cereal Bar and Cartoned Drink a lovely touch. One problem we had on our last night was the fire alarm going off at about 5.30am, after about 30 seconds it stopped. This happened a further 3 or 4 times, you don’t know if these are real emergencies or just false alarms. We are already considering the Winnock for Twixmas this year. On departure we were all presented with a Hot Toddy, a nice finishing touch. We would recommend the Winnock if you want something traditionally Scottish that is warm and welcoming,

My wife and I decided to choose the Winnock Hotel for our 55th wedding anniversary. My wife requires a wheeled walking aid while moving around and is on oxygen 24 hrs a day. We requested a ground floor room with a walk-in shower. This was granted and our oxygen supply company delivered an oxygen concentrater machine with portable cylinders for taking out on excursions. When we arrived our requests had all been met and the oxygen equipment was already in the room waiting for us. The room was in excellent condition with a comfy bed and the bathroom with walk-in shower was huge and worked well. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was good and there was plenty of it. We had travelled by car and was informed on arrival that there was a car park with marked spaces for blue badge holders and a ramp leading out from the back door to the car park. Unfortunately on the second day my wife's health deteriorated and we had to curtail our holiday and return home after which she had to receive treatment in hospital. The staff in the hotel were sympathetic and did everything they could to assist us. Shortly after returning home we received a telephone call informing us that we were to receive a refund for the unused portion of our holiday , something we didn't expect so full marks to the Winnock Hotel.

Car parking wasn't clear before arriving. But was available at rear once the receptionist informed us. On checking in our room wasn't available so went to bar, receptionist said she would come and find us, this didn't happen. So we went back to reception after 1 drink. We stayed in room 1 which was comfortable but just a bit noisy due to being buy an exit in the stairs. The room was clean and very comfortable bed, it had a small balcony door which was nice but could do with a bit of weeding. Meal was very good steak pie highly recommended. Bar staff very young and seemed to be not very interested in anything. Breakfast was adequate, what we ordered with the very young waitress wasn't what we ordered as again she wasn't very interested. The buffet cold breakfast wasn't kept on top off. What we got for breakfast wasn't what we asked for but was OK, she seemed very distracted. Young staff need to be better trained. They Don't appear to be interested in actually doing their job.

Nice little country hotel that make you welcome close to Loch Lomond an other places of interest Food and Staff all good and the deal l got was AI
