underwhelming stay near loch lomond

cold steak pie unattentive staff
the breakfast was good and set me up for the day.
The steak pie i ordered was cold. it was reheated but then the taste and quality were poor. I did not eat it. the staff seemed stretched, and attentiveness suffered as a result, even though they were friendly.
