Outstanding cozy place. Very nice rooms, clean and cozy. Makes you feel at home. Breakfast is very nice and with a lot of variety. There is a huge supermarket next to it that makes it easy to buy something in case you may need. It is a very quiet place. Great for a peaceful night of sleep.

The accommodation is about a 10-minute drive from the city centre. The services and rooms are comfortable and the treatment is personal and pleasant. Breakfast is an open buffet and has a lot of food to choose from. It's quite worth it. It has parking inside.

My recent stay at Lochearn B&B (April 2024) provided a mix of positives and areas for improvement, offering a glimpse into the hospitality provided by this family-run establishment.Pros:The host, a member of the Turkish family managing the B&B, displayed genuine warmth and hospitality, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere.The cleanliness of the accommodations was commendable, reflecting the care taken in maintaining the property.Nestled in a picturesque location, the B&B offered breathtaking views and a tranquil setting, perfect for relaxation.While the breakfast options were basic, they were adequate for starting the day.Cons:One notable inconvenience was the partial restocking of supplies despite indicating the need through the room service sign on the door, which may have led to some frustration for guests.The building's lack of soundproofing was evident during my stay, particularly on the first night, resulting in disturbances and disrupted sleep.Suggestions for Improvement:Enhancing the amenities by including liquid hand wash in addition to solid soap would elevate the guest experience and add convenience.Given the family's Turkish background, incorporating elements of Turkish hospitality or cuisine into the guest experience could provide a unique and memorable touch.To address noise concerns, investing in soundproofing measures for the building could greatly improve the quality of sleep for guests.In onclusion, Lochearn B&B offers a promising retreat with friendly hosts and a serene atmosphere, yet there are opportunities for enhancement to further enhance the guest experience.
