Staff in restaurant didn’t seem happy & food not up to usual standard. We thought it rather pricey for 2 courses of this quality- £45pp. Bedroom staff were polite & helpful.

We were given a disabled room that we did not ask for which was at the back of the hotel and to get to it we had to go through a very long busy restaurant with people having there meals. The corridor to this room was definitely needing aired. The room had a fridge that made a noise all night so we switched it off and there was no bedside lamp. Otherwise a nice stay.

Excellent location and hotel. Staff were great and accommodating. Great on site ammedities. Only downside was the lack of AC in the bedroom meaning it was really hot. However this is common in Scotland.

Reception was chaotic, no note of my name, no room until they sorted themselves out. Given I had booked 4 rooms very disappointing. Bar and food very expensive. Better menu in the bar than in restaurant. Fine dining prices in restaurant but not food to match. On departure given a bill for my room!! It was prepaid to yourselves months previous! Not impressed. Many new staff with a lack of training. We will not be returning.

Lovely Hotel but costly while you're there

The hotel is lovely and full of character with huge, beautiful grounds. My only complaint is that everything is over priced to the point where we ate and drank out all the time. Even at breakfast several items carried a supplementary charge. I have not come across that for "normal" fair before. the same was true in the expensive main evening meal menu. It just seemed mean and greedy. Shame as it was the only negative in a lovely hotel

Quite dissatisfied

I’ll be at my wife and I were excited to stay here but could not do to an emergency surgery. I was very disappointed that I was yet charged fully for the stay. I do plan on coming back next year, but not sure if I would choose this property. The proper thing to do would have been to give credit upon such a condition.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed two great dinners, with all food hot and tasty. Good breakfast buffet too. Wish there was shuttle service back and forth to town, we would have even paid a fee. You can walk to town, but some guests may struggle. We did get free shuttle to train station on departure, which was much appreciated.
