What an amazing hidden jem of a place. The rooms were beautifully furnished and so clean, the shower was so powerful it was luxury and the views were priceless. |A great space for the family to stop off on our route upto Aviemore, with the owners on hand to provide advise on where to eat/ drink/ visit. |We will definitely be back!

Excellent stay in this facility. Not sure the “hotel” description is correct as it is really rooms with a communal kitchen provided for guests use. …

One of the most beautiful little hotels I’ve had the pleasure in staying in. The Bowling marina is quaint and stunning, fitting beautifully within the history of this hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated. and just enhance the cozy and warm feeling of entering this historical building, to put it simply it’s just like returning home.The rooms and indeed the whole hotel is spotlessly clean.The joining instructions were extremely clear and with the direct line to the owner if necessary…Can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you’re on your way to the highlands… An absolute gem !

First time staying at Custom House Hotel and it certainly won’t be the last.It’s a beautiful building situated in an idyllic location at the Bowling basin/harbour where the canal meets the Clyde river.Keybox access to the room, access code for the main building door on receipt of easy to follow instructions via email.The room was in perfect condition, the bed was very comfortable and all the bedding/linen was of high quality. Very powerful shower in a very modern looking bathroom, good quality towels, an espresso machine, a tv with access to the various streaming apps - all this and complimentary ferrero rocher, the cherry on top!You can tell the owners have taken a lot of time, thought and effort into this accommodation and it is certainly paying off.Kudos to all involved.

Myself, my partner and the dog recently had the pleasure of staying at Custom House Hotel, just wanted to take a few minutes to leave a wee review. The hotel's is beautiful, it’s been refurbished and still holds onto its historic charm.The Customs House Hotel is like a magical castle nestled by the serene loch in Scotland. The rooms are cozy and comfy, making us feel like royalty. We loved watching the ducks waddle by the water from our window! Although they don't serve food, the staff are jolly and helpful, making our stay delightful. We had the best adventure exploring the nearby countryside. Can't wait to return for another enchanting stay!

TV doesn't work! |Too bad if you want to watch TV it doesn't work. ( No channels, unable to find any.) |If you have Netflix then all good.|If you don't then you'll be disappointed.|Sheets don't fit bed. |Shutters on window don't close properly. |Otherwise a good place to stay.|Well stocked kitchen, fridge etc.

A great and quiet place with an amazing location for a quick getaway. The hotel is lovely and the area is nice. There were a few people fishing around and some nice small boats. A very refreshing from the city's noise and pollution. …
