A beautiful hotel in a lovely location, adjacent to the racecourse. Staff were friendly and helpful. The Scottish Breakfast was wonderfully cooked and beautifully presented. My only ‘complaint’ (if that’s what it is!) is that the portion presented to me may have been over generous! A wonderful experience.

Lovely Hotel

Lovely hotel, staff very helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. The only thing I could fault, was didn’t get a very good nights sleep due to the noise in the room, think it was down to the wind, felt like I hadn’t been to bed all night!
