The Green Park Hotel

This hotel never fails to please - lovely ambience and family run. Quiet, clean and comfortably furnished, plenty of choice for breakfast and a good choice of food for dinner. (Well done the chef.) If you don't want to go out, sit in the lounge with coffee and cake (help yourself) looking at the sunshine, or rain, on Loch Faskally. No complaints at all but I would like to see the red squirrels back in the garden. Perhaps the squirrel feeder could be put back into use?

The Green Park never disappoints- superb service and hospitality at its best. This was our third 4 night stay for the WW2 history film break and we have booked again for next year (with a few days in the summer too). Most people you meet here are repeat visitors over many years and that, in itself, is a testament to the experience. It is not a 5 star, spa/gym all singing and dancing kind of place but if you want 5 star service and food (the breakfast beats most 5 star hotels for choice and quality) then this is the place . It has an understated elegance and gorgeous views but without a doubt the thing that sets this hotel apart is its attention fl detail and customer service. The post dinner shortbread is hard to beat too!

Our first visit. At check in we were given a warm welcome and a tour of the main hotel areas on the way to our room which overlooked Loch Faskally. Binoculars are supplied for you to enjoy the views and wildlife. The room was large with lots of drawer and hanging space. The bathroom had excellent toiletries and fluffy towels. The decor of the hotel befits its country house status. There are blazing fires, comfy seating, books to peruse, games for a rainy day and a jigsaw to help finish. There are lots of walking areas nearby and it is well served by rail and bus links. The service of the staff is first class and you get the feeling that the hotel as a whole is a very well run machine with an incredible eye for detail. The jewel in the crown of the establishment is the food. From breakfast to the all day tea/coffee buffet with sweet treats to the delicious four course dinner which begins with a glass of sherry and finishes with coffee and shortbread, all food is of the highest quality and the dinner menu changes daily. The clientele is older and mainly returning guests and there a number of activity holidays on offer for those who want to take part in anything from bridge to photography.

Another lovely stay at the Green Park. This was our sixth time and as usual, it nevers disappoints us. A birthday celebration , one of three that weekend, so lots of families, chatter and cake. Everything was up to its normal excellent standard and the weather went over and above.......warm sun in Scotland in April. Long journey from south England but room was ready early so we had time for a rest before family arrived. Thanks again for a fabulous hotel, very attentive staff, great food and a happy time had by all.

Yet another wonderful stay! I noticed before our most recent visit that the dinner menus had changed somewhat since our previous stay. On paper many of the dishes looked as if they had one ingredient too many but the reality was that everything we ate was supremely well-judged. The slightly lighter fare is to be welcomed: there's still no danger of anyone going to bed hungry and I think that the new menus showcase more effectively some serious talent in the kitchen.

We've been meaning to visit here for sometime. We have family and friends that visit the Green Park regularly and insist that there is absolutely nowhere better. Certainly as we stood in the carpark overlooking Loch Faskally, the view is both scenic and restful. The gardens aren't massive but there are lots of benches to sit and appreciate the tranquil setting. The greeting at reception was extremely warm. Check in was prompt and friendly. A gentleman kindly whisked our small cases away to our room. We were then given a tour of the hotel and shown the lounge, bar, dining room etc and given an update on how things work before being taken to our room. Couldn't fault the start. Felt special. Our room was I believe a garden room. Nice decor with a lovely view over the loch. What struck us though was the heat. It was warm outside but not boiling. Like many hotels in the area, these are older buildings with no air conditioning. There was a desk fan however. We had a bath with a shower overhead. We're more shower people and it wasn't the most invigorating shower ever but got there. The bed was two singles put together. Over the three nights we struggled, mostly with the heat but my particular mattress rolled either off the bed or into the middle. The fan kept us going but on full power it sounded like an aeroplane taxiing. Fair to say, neither of us slept very well. We do like a cool room so perhaps we're not a fair reflection on individuals but we couldn't have lasted had the weather been warmer outside. Opening the windows and removing the duvet from the sheet and using just the sheet all helped but it was still uncomfortable. Perhaps something like a Dyson in the rooms would help. Breakfast was excellent. Really good choice. Well cooked and the theme for the three days, service by the staff was wonderful. We were out and about over our three days so didn't have the chance to take advantage of the free afternoon tea/ coffee and cakes. Nice touch though. There is also a free sherry before dinner for those that like sherry. Just sherry though. Perhaps another option might be considered?. Dinner was mixed. 4 courses. Starter, soup, mains and desert. The mains are pretty basic. I suspect that is what the majority of the guests enjoy so I get it. I had beef dishes two nights and turkey one night. My wife went for the fish instead of the beef. She said that the fish was actually very nice. The turkey we both had was very tasty and a good portion. The beef both times was really disappointing. Really tough and pretty tasteless. I asked for extra gravy both times but it didn't improve things. Everything else was good but not mind-blowing. I did enjoy the ice and fire pudding. Ice-cream with a nip of your favourite liqueur. Tea and coffee was served in the lounge. It's a first come first table thing so you sit where you want. Both rooms are nice. The conservatory obviously has a lovely view of the loch. Again, the very best bit of dinner was the service. Pa
