The Ben Sheann Hotel - Strathyre

Staying here was a bit of a mixed bag. I liked that the place was tucked away in a peaceful area, definitely a lovely spot for relaxing and enjoying nature. I appreciated having a secure place for my bike overnight, and getting an upgrade to a larger room was a pleasant surprise. the guesthouse felt old and outdated, so it could really benefit from some modern updates. It was also a bit awkward dealing with the host, who seemed unsure in social situations. the experience met my basic needs but left room for improvement.

The continental breakfast was sensational, had plenty of options. The staff was thoughtful and the room was airy. The location was marvellous, near the hills I wanted to climb, and the view was pleasant, too. Besides, it was close to Callander and Scotland.

Fine views from rooms

The room was neat and airy and the breakfast was sensational. The location of the hotel was stunning, near the hills I wanted to climb. Moreover, it's short walk to Lochearnhead, Strathyre and the Highlands.

The breakfast had standout quality, offering an enjoyable start to the day. The double room had a certain charm, though it was somewhat unkempt around the edges.

The hotel's exterior was scruffy, with unweeded planter boxes and neglected paintwork. The atmosphere felt cold and unwelcoming, highlighted by the unnerving nature of the host. The cleanliness underwhelmed, with noticeable hair and stains on the bedsheets.

the staff were cute and offered secured bike storage. the shower was too small.

perfect spot for a cozy mother-daughter getaway with great room views and cute chatty staff

Charming hotel with spacious rooms, beautiful views, and cozy bar area. Friendly staff.

Just a fine choice for one night in Strathyre with really good value. Check the bar hours if you want a drink.

Ben sheann is in a fine location, close to beautiful walking trails. The owner was super accommodating, even serving breakfast early for our competition. Our room was quiet and cozy, which let us sleep well. Plus, the view from the room was gorgeous!

Stayed in a double room that had a lovely clean feel and an amazing view. The bed was comfortable, and I actually slept really well. The historical charm of the room added a lot to the experience, and I liked how it was just a walk away from the park for food. Only downside was that the cleanliness of the outside of the hotel was a bit lacking, but the cozy vibe and friendly locals made up for it.

Would recommend for a concise stay

Cozy room, friendly atmosphere, with free wi-fi in rooms and easy access to beautiful walking trails near the hotel.

Almost perfect.

Great place with free Wi-Fi, outdoor dining area, and board games. The staff once assisted me with a car service, and they are always friendly. I recommend trying the breakfast. It's really good! I'm coming back for another trip.

Nice place with free Wi-Fi, a cozy outdoor dining area, and board games to enjoy. I still remember the staff helping me find my lost ID card on my first stay. I highly recommend the breakfast!

Brilliant place to stay with lovely and great staff. Sensational breakfast with a wide array of hot/cold dishes. - Having iron/ironing board, flat-screen TV, and a dining area in our tidy room.

The staff and the host were very helpful, my room was a great deal with good amenities, a clean bathroom, and excellent facilities.
